• GA016-034 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  On the summit of an esker ridge to W of a field system (GA016-035----). A depression (L 11m) and some quantities of loose rubble mark the site of this castle. No architectural features were noted. (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 65) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA016-035 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  In pastureland immediately to the SE side of a roughly NE-SW running esker ridge. A series of earthworks, covering an area of c. 367m N-S by c. 320m NE-SW and visible across two fields, comprise a number of rectangular and irregular earthen field banks and enclosures, possible house sites and a routeway. The banks vary in base width from 2m to 4m and their maximum height is 1m. Traces of old cultivation ridges are visible in the N half of the complex. The earthworks were formerly overlooked by ‘Tolendal Castle’ (GA016-034----), the site of which is located near the SW end of the esker. They may have extended further to the NE where some may have been destroyed when the road bypassing the Tullenadaly Cross Roads junction was built (SMR file, 1984). The N17 has subsequently been constructed to the W of them. It is possible that the earthworks are the remains of a medieval settlement which was associated with the castle, both of which are recorded in 1618 as part of the holdings of Isaac Lally: ‘the castle, town and lands of Tullendally’ (Cal. pat. Rolls Ire., Jas I). A possible church (GA016-138----) may also be associated.
