Recorded monuments

• GA042-133 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved oval rath (N-S 27m, E-W 20.9m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank survives from E through S to NW, and the fosse from S toW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

• GA042-134 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Some 80m S of an enclosure (GA042-135----). Very poorly preserved circular cashel (D 33m) defined by a drystone wall overlain throughout by a field wall. A number of field boundaries radiate from the monument. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

• GA042-135 Enclosure
  Description

  On a ridge in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved oval enclosure (N-S 26.1m, E-W 19.6m) defined by a scarp from SW through W to N. The E limits may have followed the natural slope of the ridge. Faint traces of an external fosse exist at S and also a possible causeway. A field wall encroaches upon the monument at W, and collapsed stone at this point obscures traces of the enclosing element. A ringfort (GA042-134----) lies 80m to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
