Recorded monuments

• GA017-015 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in otherwise low-lying grassland. Overgrown circular rath (D 32.5m), in fair condition, defined by a scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank. Quarrying has encroached upon the enclosing elements from NNW to NNE. A probable souterrain (GA017-015001-) is associated. Earthworks (GA017-017---- and GA017-016----) lie c. 220m to WNW and 250m to S respectively. (Neary 1914, 112, no. 82) 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

• GA017-015001 Souterrain
  Description

  Associated with ringfort (GA017-015----). Nearly (1914, 112, no. 82) notes that 'tradition says a souterrain, with opening a few hundred yards distant on the southern uplands, ran into this rath'. According to local information, people used to enter it through a gap in N part of the garth. It was supposed to exit in the nearby earthwork (GA017-119----) to W. The entrance has long been covered in and 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: 05 August 2010

• GA017-016 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  In gently undulating grassland. According to local tradition, there was a 'fort' and 'cave' (possible souterrain) here. All that now survives is a sudden loop in the course of a laneway, possibly reflecting the line of an enclosure curving from SE through S to SW. The interior is now used as a vegetable garden.
