Recorded monuments

• GA104-029001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In scrubland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 212-13, no. 43) as a circular 'Earthen fort' (diam. c. 48m) defined by a poorly preserved bank. No visible surface trace survives. A souterrain (GA104-029002-) is associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 22 December 2016

• GA104-029002 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the N sector of a levelled rath (GA104-029001-). Only the blocked-up entrance to the souterrain is visible. It appears to run E-W. (McCaffrey 1952, 212, no. 43) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 22 December 2016

• GA104-030 Quarry
  Description

  Indicated on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map by a series of dots. On inspection in 1983 it proved to be a quarry. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 11 August 2014

• GA104-031 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In pastureland on top of a long, gentle S-facing slope. When visited in 1983 this poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 24.4m) was defined by a heavily overgrown drystone wall best preserved at N. On a revisit in 2001 the monument was completely overgrown and field-clearance rubble was thrown up against the external wall-face, particularly at S.

• GA104-032 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 212, no. 42a) as a circular 'Earthen fort' (diam. c. 40.2m) defined by a 'very ruinous' bank; a field fence obscured the monument. Two field boundaries shown on the OS 6-inch maps indicate that the rath was clipped by one boundary running from NNE to SSE and the other, which intersected with this one, running from SSE to SSW. When visited in 1983 only a slight overgrown mound was visible. It has since been levelled and the rath is now defined by a low scarp from SSE through W to NNE. The NNE-SSE running field boundary has been cleared and no visible surface trace survives to the E of it. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 22 December 2016

• GA104-033 Souterrain
  Description

  In undulating pastureland. When initially visited by the Survey in March 1983, this souterrain consisted of a drystone-built chamber (L 4.6m; Wth 1.6m) running NW-SE. Access was gained via an opening at the SE end. There was some collapse at the NW end but beyond this more roof lintels indicated the possible presence of a creep and a second chamber. The chamber was subsequently filled in during land reclamation and no visible surface trace survives.

• GA104-034 Standing stone
  Description

  On a NNW-SSE ridge, the base of which has been stripped of topsoil from NE-WSW. This standing stone (H 1.35m; base Wth 1.15m; max. base T 0.3m) is aligned NE-SW and is roughly rectangular in plan. It leans at an angle of c. 40 degrees to the NW. Packing stones are visible at the base of its E face and there is another one at the base of its W face. Some topsoil has been dumped within 20m of it. (McCaffrey 1952, 212, no. 41) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 16 December 2019
