Recorded monuments

• GA099-151 Castle - motte and bailey
  Description

  Strategically located on a slight rise between two streams in gently undulating grassland, this motte and bailey is defined by a well-preserved but densely overgrown motte which consists of a steep-sided flat-topped circular mound (diam. 24.6m; max. H 6.5m) surrounded by a wide fosse (Wth 3.8-6.1m); the latter is best preserved from NW to SE. The 1947 edition of the OS 6-inch map indicates that the motte occupies the N end of a roughly subrectangular bailey (c. 110m NE-SW; c. 80m NW-SE). It is defined by a bank (base Wth 7.1m; Wth at top 1m; int. H 2.2m; ext. H 1.2m) from NW through N to SSE and by another short stretch of a bank immediately outside the fosse at SW; otherwise no visible surface trace survives. Gaps occur at WNW and SSE and, according to local information, a stream flowed around the fosse through these at one time. On the 6-inch map the line of hachures indicating the NW side of the bailey culminates in a small circular mound (diam. c. 10m) at SW. Again, according to local information, an ‘army colonel’ was buried here. No visible surface trace of it survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 December 2019

• GA099-152 Quarry
  Description

  This is a disused gravel pit. It is not an archaeological monument. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 3 July 2015

• GA099-153 Quarry
  Description

  No visible surface trace survived of a roughly subcircular area depicted on the 1946-7 revision of the OS 6-inch map by a series of dots when inspected in 1983. Cartographic evidence suggests that it was a quarry. As it was of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.

• GA099-154 Quarry
  Description

  No visible surface trace survives of a hachured feature marked on the 1946-7 revision of the OS 6-inch map. The cartographic evidence suggests that it was a pit or hollow; possibly a disused quarry. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 3 July 2015
