Recorded monuments

• GA098-003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in undulating grassland. Marked on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a subcircular enclosure overlain by a field boundary from NW through E to SE. The monument has been ploughed out but on inspection in April 1985 a band of lighter soil indicated its outline (33.5m N-S; 27m E-W). It is also visible on the OSi digitalglobe aerial photograph. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 8 February 2019

• GA098-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (37.8m NNW-SSE; 34m NE-SW) defined by a bank from NNW through E to SW, and by an external fosse from SE through S to NW. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 October 2016

• GA098-005 Enclosure
