Recorded monuments

• GA107-074 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a hillock in pastureland. This subcircular rath (38m N-S; 31m E-W), in fair condition, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank ( Wth 4m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.5m) is visible from SSE through W to NNE; it is overgrown with trees from N to NNE and from SSE to SSW. A scarp forms the enclosing element from NNE to SSE. Small gaps at ESE and WSW are the result of quarrying. The fosse (Wth 3.3m) is best preserved from S through W to N. It is overgrown with trees from N to NE and from SSE to SW; from NE to SSE a field wall overlies it. The outer bank survives from SSE to SSW and from NW to N. It is best preserved at S (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.2m). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 22 December 2017

• GA107-075 Quarry
  Description

  A hachured feature marked on the 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1984 to be a disused quarry. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 11 August 2014

  Description

  At the N end of a ridge in undulating grassland. This subcircular rath (29.5m NNW-SSE; 22.5m ENE-WSW), in fair condition, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 4.8m including slippage; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1.3m) is visible from S through W to NNW; traces of an external stone revetment are visible at NNW. A scarp forms the enclosing element from NNW through E to S. The fosse (Wth 1.3m) and outer bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) survive from W to NNW. Hawthorn trees are growing on the inner bank from S to SW. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 22 December 2017
