• GA097-053 Church
  Description

  In gently undulating pastureland. This rectangular medieval church (> 16.5m E-W; > 6m N-S) is very poorly preserved. Only the E gable (H c. 5m) survives but it is heavily overgrown and broken at its N and S ends. It is built on a crude plinth of limestone and consists of a mortared randomly coursed wall with dressed quoinstones. Some of the quoinstones have been removed from the SE corner exposing the rubble core. An indistinct grassy mound indicates the line of the S side-wall, while all that remains of the N side-wall is a low scarp running along what would have been its outer edge. There is no trace of the W gable. The only architectural features include a well-preserved single-light cusped ogee-headed window with decorated spandrels and a hood-moulding in the E gable and there is also an aumbry to its the S.

• GA105-047 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In undulating grassland. This partly overgrown circular cashel (diam. 32m), in fair condition, is defined by the remains of a substantial drystone wall (Wth 2.5m; max. ext. H c. 2m). Both wall-faces are constructed of large undressed limestone blocks laid in irregular courses. A gap at SW may be original as it appears to have a well-built face on the N side. Another gap at SE appears to be modern. The interior is divided into three unequal sections by drystone walls. In the S section the remains of three/four structures are evident. Due to heavy overgrowth it was not possible to determine whether these are original features or whether they are the same date as the partition walls. Very ruined small rectangular stone enclosures/structures noted against the external wall-face at N, NE and E appear to be later features and may be old sheep pens. An old N-S roadway runs to the E of the cashel and a number of other structures (see GA105-047001-) were noted to the E of it (SMR file).

• GA105-048 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  In meadowland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an irregular field (c. 32m E-W; c. 27m N-S) with a roadway running around it from W to NE.

No visible surface traces survives. The interior is now occupied by a silage pit. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 22 July 2019
