• GA017-007 Quarry
  Description

  In reclaimed pastureland. A hachured area marked on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1984 to be a disused sand pit. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 8 July 2014

• GA017-008001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  On N-facing slope of a low hill overlooking the Sinking River. A large but poorly preserved circular enclosure (D 143m). Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a markedly curving field boundary to NW of church (GA017-008002-): a section of it still survives as a curving earth and stone boundary (Wth 2m, H 1.3-2m) but it is similar in character to other field banks in the vicinity. A pond lies immediately outside it at W. Its line can also be traced from SE through S to SSW as a faint curving scarp. The interior is divided into two halves by a modern field wall running E-W, immediately to S of which is the church. This occupies a central position within the interior and also appears to have been encircled by an inner enclosure (E-W 41m) (GA017-008003-). Traces of this survive, to S of the subdividing wall, as a slightly raised platform defined by a curving scarp/wall from SE through S to SW. At SE, traces of a stone wall (Wth 1m, H 0.5m) survive, consisting of large limestone flags revetting a rubble core. Within the enclosure and immediately to S of the church is a CBG (GA017-008004-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA017-008002 Church
  Description

  Centrally placed within an early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA017-008001-). Very poorly preserved church (E-W; L 10.1m, Wth 5.4m) of which only the grassed-over foundation lines are visible. Apart from a robbed doorway in S wall, no architectural features survive. A CBG (GA017-008004-) is associated.

• GA017-008004 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Within and immediately S of a church (GA017-008002-). A roughly quadrangular area (E-W 21m, N-S 12m) within which lie numerous closely set small stones indicating graves (L 1m, Wth 0.5m), which also have upright grave-markers, are visible. An inscribed cross-slab lay recumbent amongst the burials to S and two other inscribed cross-slabs were discovered in field-clearance rubble to E. (Higgins 1987, 282, no. 13).

• GA017-008005 Cross-slab
  Description

  Associated with an ecclesiastical enclosure (GA017-008001-) and church (GA017-008002-), this cross-slab is lying recumbent just inside the bank of the smaller enclosure (GA017-008003-) surrounding the church. Described by Higgins (1987, ii, 282, no. 13) as a stone (L 1.16m; max. Wth 0.27m; T 0.22m) bearing ‘a grooved single-line Latin cross with three slightly expanded or wedge-shaped terminals. The fourth terminal, that at the bottom of the cross, is of irregular oval shape.’ Higgins (ibid.) also noted that, according to local information, the stone was upright up until the late 1970s but was uprooted when a section of the bank of the enclosure was removed.

• GA017-008006 Cross-inscribed stone
  Description

  Noted among the headstones in the SSW sector of the children's burial ground (GA017-008006-), to the S of the church (GA017-008007-). A small rectangular bolder (L 0.18m; Wth 0.13m; T 0.07m) bears a plain grooved single-line Latin cross. The top right quadrant of the boulder appears to have been broken off. Another cross-inscribed stone (GA017-008007-) and a cross-slab (GA017-008005-) lie among rubble to the E. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 30 January 2023

  Description

  Noted among rubble, to the E of a cross-slab (GA017-008005-), in the SE sector of the children's burial ground (GA017-008004-). A small boulder bears a crude single-line cross. Another similar cross-inscribed boulder (GA017-008006-) lies in the SSW sector of the burial ground. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 30 January 2023

• GA017-009 Anomalous stone group
  Description

  On a N-facing slope in grassland. Marked 'Dolmen' on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) and represented as a small oval enclosure (NW-SE c. 10m, NE-SW c. 5m). According to de Valera and Ó Nualláin (1972, 27), 'Two prostrate slabs, 3.00m and 2.50m respectively in maximum dimension, lying at the road fence, may have formed part of the monument before its destruction'. It was levelled during land reclamation and, apart from the slabs, no visible surface trace survives.
