Recorded monuments

• GA117-016 Moated site
  Description

  In low-lying marshy grassland c. 80m to the W of a small stream. This well-preserved almost square moated site (50m E-W; 49m N-S) is defined by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank survives along the W and N sides. There is a causewayed entrance gap (Wth 5m) at S. On inspection in September 1983 the fosse, for the most part, was delimited by trees and bushes and the banks were overgrown from NW to NE. Current OSi aerial imagery indicates that the trees and overgrowth have since been removed. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 2 December 2019

• GA117-017 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  In level grassland. Poorly preserved roughly D-shaped enclosure (E-W 87m; N-S 70m) defined by a stone-faced earthen bank. An external fosse is visible from SSE through S to W. A series of earth and stone banks radiate from the enclosing element and a number of similar banks lie within the interior. Abutting the monument at SE is a small circular annexe (diam. 20m). Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at NW. According to local information, 'Puntbaun' means a white (cattle) pound; apparently in spring, before the introduction of fertilizers, the field was covered with white daisies.
