Recorded monuments

• GA097-073 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In gently rolling pastureland and rock outcrop. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (33.7m N-S; 31m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall best preserved at SE. At N two orthostats, 0.7m apart, may mark the original entrance gap. A field wall cuts through the enclosing element at W. (McCaffrey 1952, 167, no. 15) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 September 2017

• GA097-074 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in gently undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 33m) defined by a bank which survives from W to NNW and from N to ENE. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere as a house and associated buildings encroach upon it. McCaffrey (1952, 167, no. 16) noted that the enclosing element was stone-faced and that there was a souterrain (GA097-074001-) in the interior. A rectangular structure (L 8.8m; Wth 7.7m), aligned N-S, defined by a bank of earth and stone abuts the bank at NE; traces of a shallow fosse are evident along its N and E sides externally and along the W wall internally. Its relationship with the rath is unclear; it may be an old house site. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 September 2017
