Recorded monuments

• GA083-038 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In grassland. Marked on the 1896 resurvey of the OS 6-inch map as a partially levelled circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) cut by a NE-SW running field boundary at NE and W. No trace is indicated to the NW of the boundary. While described by Lynch Athy (1914, 136) as being completely levelled rath for cultivation, it still could just be traced. However, when visited by McCaffrey (1952, 115) no visible surface trace survived. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 March 2019

• GA083-073 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  On a low ridge in flat pastureland. This ring-barrow (diam. 10.6m) was noted following aerial reconnaissance by Markus Casey (SMR file). On inspection in February 1992, it was fairly well preserved and was defined by a flat-topped circular mound (diam. 3.8m; H 0.3-0.4m) encircled by a fosse (Wth 1.5-1.8m) and external bank (Wth 1.5-2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m). A possible entrance gap (Wth 2.1m), with traces of a causeway, was visible at NE. Some field-clearance material, consisting of large loosely placed boulders, lay to its S. Aerial imagery (see OSi Ortho_ITM and digitalglobe images) indicates that this area was subsequently developed as a large quarry and the ring-barrow appears to have been levelled.
