Recorded monuments

• GA104-090 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rough pasture overlooking a turlough to the N. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 34m) defined by a substantial double-faced drystone wall most clearly visible at W and N. Elsewhere the wall is almost completely obscured by overgrowth. A souterrain (GA104-090001-) is associated. Another cashel (GA104-091----) lies c. 100m to the ESE.

• GA104-090001 Souterrain
  Description

  A souterrain is marked in the centre of the cashel (GA104- 090----) on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The interior is very heavily overgrown and no visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 23 January 2017

• GA104-091 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Some 100m to the ESE of another cashel (GA104-090----). This poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 42m) is defined by a collapsed drystone wall, which is overlain a later field wall at S. The interior is heavily overgrown. (McCaffrey 1952, 222, no. 5) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 23 January 2017

• GA104-092001 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Associated with a possible chapel (GA104-092003-). McCaffrey (1952, 222, no. 6) recorded this children's burial ground, which consisted of a number of graves (six to the S and five to the W of the church based on his site plan) marked by head- and foot-stones. The stones were ‘well fashioned' and were probably taken from the church. On the initial inspection in February 1983, a small roughly subcircular, but unenclosed, concentration of grave-markers was noted. The headstones were small (H 0.3m) and were aligned E-W. On re-inspection in June 1992, the site was completely overgrown with dense blackthorn and briar growth and was impenetrable. According local information gleaned by McCaffrey (ibid.), the last internment took place in the late 1930s. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 29 August 2019

• GA104-092002 Megalithic structure
  Description

  In the SE corner of a possible enclosure (GA104-092006-). This megalithic structure consists of two orthostatic limestone slabs (stone A: H 1.25m; L 2.04m; T 0.42m; stone B: H 1.08m; L 2.12m; T 0.5m) which may form the side-stones of a small rectangular chamber (L 1.85m; Wth 1m) aligned roughly E-W. A third slab (H 0.95m; L 0.95m; T 0.45m) forms the E end of the chamber which is open to the W. McCaffrey (1952, 10, 222, plate 3) recorded that the chamber was reputed to be the site of a 'priest's burial'. Possibly a wedge tomb?

• GA104-092003 Chapel
  Description

  In the centre of a possible enclosure (GA104-092006-). Described by McCaffrey (1952, 222, no. 6) as a rectangular ‘chapel’ of 22' x 12' [6.7m x 3.6m] overall'. The walls were ‘3’ [0.9m] wide of two faces of blocks set on edge’ covered by ‘rock debris’. In the interior there was a low rectangular ‘altar’ against the E wall. According to local information it was built after the 'demolition of the chapel'. To the W of the building were 'headstones' (see GA104-092003-). The site was impenetrably overgrown at the time of the site visit and it was impossible to make any of these features out.

• GA104-092006 Enclosure
  Description

  In flat scrubland. Recorded by McCaffrey (1952, 10, no. 6, 81, 222-3, plate 3) who classified it as a rectangular 'stone fort (?)' (42.7m E-W; 26.5m N-S). Only the lower courses of the enclosure wall survived beneath a modern wall and most of the E and part of the N sides were destroyed. It was best preserved at SW where a double row of large 'foundation blocks' was visible. A laneway ran directly outside the wall along the W side and there was an entrance at the NW corner. The interior contained a 'chapel' (GA104-092003-), a children's burial ground (GA104-092001-) and a megalithic structure (GA104-092002-). Furthermore, 'two stone basins', possible bullaun stones (GA104-092005- and GA104-092006-), were also noted in the field to the S (not located). On inspection in June 1992 almost all of these features were impenetrably overgrown with dense blackthorn and briar growth. The enclosing wall was similar to the surrounding field walls and no obvious older foundation line was visible at its base. The possible souterrain (GA104-092007-) noted by McCaffrey (ibid.) at the bottom of the laneway is in fact a lintelled field drain.
