Recorded monuments

• GA017-048 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in open grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 33m) defined by a bank which survives from SE through S to W. A silage pit occupies NW section of the monument. A mound of field-clearance rubble obscures the enclosing element from N to NE, and a field wall cuts it at NNW and NE. A large enclosure (GA017-049----) lies c. 300m to S. (Neary 1914, 116, no. 86) 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

• GA017-049 Enclosure
  Description

  In flat poorly drained grazing land. Known locally as 'Race Park Fort' (Neary 1914, 116, no. 87), it consists of a large oval enclosure (E-W 71m, N-S 56m), in fair condition, defined by a narrow bank and shallow external fosse. Traces of an internal fosse are also visible from N to E. A field boundary cuts across the monument at NW and SW. Neary (ibid.) considered that it 'may have been a pinfold'. 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

• GA017-050 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On N-facing slope of a hill in grassland. Known locally as 'Demesne Fort' (Neary 1914, 116, no. 88), this subcircular rath (E-W 56m, N-S 50.5m), in fair condition, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives from SE through S to W; elsewhere a scarp, overlain by a field wall at N, forms the enclosing element. The outer bank survives from WNW through N to NE. Of the three causeways over the fosse, the S example could be original. A possible CBG (GA017-050001-) is associated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA017-050001 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Within a ringfort (GA017-050----). According to Neary (1914, 116, no. 88), this ringfort 'was formerly used as a burial ground, and is now thickly planted'. No visible surface trace survives. 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: 09 August 2010

• GA017-051 Enclosure
  Description

  On a rise in grassland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure with a number of buildings along the enclosing element at N. Classified by Neary (1914, 116, no. 89) as a rath defined by a massive 'rampart' and known locally as 'House Fort'. Apart from a very faint circular platform (D 27m), no visible surface trace survives. Neary (ibid.) noted the ruin of an old building on the 'rampart' at N which was indicated by a stretch of wall '4 ft. thick, 8 high and 24 ft. in width [Wth 1.2m, H 2.4m, L 7.3m]. It lay E. by W'. He suggested that it may have been an old De Burgo dwelling. No trace of this structure survives. Neary (ibid.) also refers to an 'obelisk' with a 'grave' on N side of it with 'five quern-stones arranged on it' in the interior of the monument. This is probably the 'Burial Vault' marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932). It is dedicated to Anne Handcock and is dated 1818. Only one quernstone is now visible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
