Recorded monuments

• GA114-071 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In gently undulating pastureland and rock outcrop. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 23m) defined by a bank which survives from NNE through S to SW. The townland boundary wall cuts across the monument at NNE and SW and no visible surface trace of the bank survives to the NW of it. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 December 2017

• GA114-094 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Some 50m to the SE of a rath (GA114-071----). Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 60m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) cut by a NW-SE running field boundary at N and E. No visible surface trace survives. The cartographic evidence suggests that it was a ringfort, probably a rath. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 March 2019

• GA114-095 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a NW-facing slope in pastureland. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. c. 25m) is defined by a low wide earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.6m). A field wall cuts through it at NW and SE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the E of it due to land-improvement works. A possible souterrain (GA114-095001-) is associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2018

• GA114-095001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within a rath (GA114-095----). Centrally located within the interior an area of collapse (L c. 1.3m; Wth 0.8m) may indicate the presence of a possible souterrain. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2018

• GA114-097001 Church
  Description

  At the N end of an irregularly shaped graveyard (GA114-097003-) in gently undulating pastureland. This very poorly preserved rectangular church (24m E-W; 9.8m N-S; wall T 1.25m) is probably of medieval date. On initial inspection in October 1982, all that survived was the overgrown W half of the N side-wall and W gable, as well as most of the S side-wall. It was built of well-cut and mortared limestone blocks. A doorway was evident towards the W end of the S wall along with a window further to the E; both had been robbed of most of their cut stone. The OS Letters (O’Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 504-5) describe the doorway as being ‘in the curvilineally [sic] pointed style’ and the window as ‘pointed’. A chamfered mullion, reused as a grave-marker, may indicate that it was of two lights. On re-inspection in January 2010, a c. 8m length of the E end of the S wall had fallen inwards into the church, which was densely overgrown with ivy. A carved window head fragment was noted lying at the E end of the S wall. A settlement cluster (GA114-097002-) is associated.

• GA114-097003 Graveyard
  Description

  Associated with a church (GA114-097001-), which occupies its N end, this irregularly shaped graveyard (c. c. 49m NW-SE; 40m NE-SW) is enclosed by a boulder-built stone wall. Access is via a gateway at SSW. Most of the inscribed headstones date to the 18th and 19th centuries but numerous graves are marked by plain block headstones. Close to the SE corner of the church one grave is marked by a cut-stone mullion fragment from a window from the church. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 19 February 2020
