• MA003-001 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Situated in an area of wet bogland along the steep cliffs N of Broadhaven. The site is flanked by two much larger headlands with deep chasms on either side and it is overlooked by higher ground to the N and E. This promontory fort consists of a W-facing diamond shaped headland measuring 36m E-W by 34m N-S which shows traces of once having been defended by a deep fosse and an earthen bank running across its narrow neck. The fosse seems to have been the main defence its base lying 3m below the level of the interior and between 5m and 6m below outer ground level. Outside the fosse are the poorly preserved remains of an earthen bank with some stone in its makeup. There is no trace of any revetting or an entrance causeway. The depth of the fosse compared to the small size of the bank suggests that the fosse may be partly natural. Outside the site 25m to the east where the neck of the headland joins the mainland are the remains of a straight earthen bank with an external fosse running across the head land. The interior of the site is level and has the remains of a low earth and stone bank running around the perimeter. Otherwise it is featureless. These descriptions are derived from the MA thesis of Markus Casey 1999 The coastal promontory forts of Ireland. A survey of counties Sligo, Mayo, Galway and Clare.

• MA004-004 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Situated on the SW corner of a broad headland immediately to the E of Dooghkeeghan Castle (MA004-003002-). The area is one of mountainous bogland and poor quality pasture with sheer cliffs along the coast. The view from the site across Broadhaven is good, but it is overlooked by higher ground to the N. A crescent-shaped S-facing headland measuring 33m long by 21m across its broadest point is defended by a single earthen bank and ditch. The bank averages 8m in width and stands 2m above the level of the interior. It is flat-topped and some material has been removed from it recently. A 6m wide flat-bottomed ditch runs along the outside of the bank. It is 1.5m deep below the top of the bank, and the steep uphill slope of the ground outside the fort makes its outer edge indistinct. A causeway crosses the defences near the western edge and a faint rise is also visible in the centre of the ditch. The interior is featureless and narrows to a point only 4m across at the southern tip. These descriptions are derived from the MA thesis of Markus Casey 1999 The coastal promontory forts of Ireland.

• MA004-005 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Situated on a large S-facing promontory jutting out into Broadhaven and within it is an area of fertile pasture. It commands a good view across the bay, and it can be seen from a distance of many miles. The headland measures 650m N-S and 180m E-W. There are traces of a huge curving earthen bank crossing the isthmus, but this has been disturbed by a road and modern stone wall. The bank is indistinct on the ground but is clearly visible from the air. Nothing is visible in the interior. The headland was mentioned by Westropp, although he omitted it from his final list (1912a, 124). These descriptions are derived from the MA thesis of Markus Casey 1999 The coastal promontory forts of Ireland. A survey of counties Sligo, Mayo, Galway and Clare.

• MA004-006001 Church
  Description

  In a graveyard (MA004-006002-). This church is named ‘O Galligans Church’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, although no structure is indicated within the graveyard, shown as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35-40m. On the 1921 edition, a cross-symbol, annotated ‘O’Galligan’s Church (Site of)’, is shown in the NE corner of the graveyard, which at this stage had expanded to a subrectangular walled area. No remains are now visible of the church, but it appears to have been located at or close to a grass-covered stony mound (MA004-006003-) in the NE corner of the graveyard.
