Recorded monuments

• GA123-032 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In pastureland. Subcircular cashel (36.8m NNW-SSE; 31.5m WSW-ESE), in fair condition, defined by a grassed-over drystone wall. Either of two gaps at ESE (Wth 2.6m) and S (Wth 1.7m) could be original. There is a souterrain (GA123-032001-) in the WSW sector of the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 28 November 2017

• GA123-032001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the WSW sector of a cashel (GA123-032----). This rectangular drystone-built passage (L 7.7m; Wth 1.5m; H 1.8m) runs NNW-SSE. Access is gained at its SSE end. An air vent (Wth 0.6m; H 0.15m) is visible in the NE side-wall, 2.5m from the entrance. Another possible example (Wth 0.5m; Wth 0.15m) occurs about midway along this wall.

• GA129-009 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a steep rise in farmland, some 120m N of the Beagh River. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 35m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall; traces of inner and outer wall-facing are visible intermittently. Several trees are growing along the enclosing element. An external fosse, apparently modern, is visible at N. A souterrain (GA129-009001-) lies in the S half of the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 28 November 2017

• GA129-009001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the S half of a cashel (GA129-009001-). This partially collapsed drystone-built souterrain (L >14m) is L-shaped in plan and consists of two passages connected by a drop-hole creep. The 1st passage (L 9m; Wth 1.8m; H 0.3m) runs SE-NW; the creep (L 1.4m; Wth 0.5m; H0.3m) extends from its NW end. Due to collapse both of these sections are inaccessible. Traces of a small N-S running recess evident near the NW end of the S side-wall of the creep may indicate an air vent or another creep. The 2nd passage (L c. 5m; Wth 1.7m; H 1.2-1.5m) extends from the creep and runs NE-SW. Access is gained via a breach at its NE end.
