• GA100-124 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a hillock in undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 32m) defined by a scarp and external fosse; no visible surface trace of the latter survives from SE through S to SW. Field banks abut the enclosing elements at N and E. Quarrying has encroached upon the W half of the monument. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 January 2018

• GA100-125 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a hillock in undulating grassland. Marked on 1946 revision of the OS 6-inch map as a subcircular enclosure (c. 53m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE) cut roughly midway by an E-W running field boundary. No visible surface trace survives. The cartographic evidences suggests that it was a rath. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 April 2019

• GA100-126001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  In an area of undulating pastureland. This oval enclosure (98m N-S; 85m E-W), which encompasses a hummock, is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 8.8m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1.25m) from S to SW; elsewhere a scarp (H 0.8-1.5m) forms the enclosing element. The latter is partially denuded from E to S where it planted with walnut trees. A gap at N (Wth 5.3m) may be original. The interior rises towards the centre. A narrow NE-SW running drain cuts across it from ESE to S. There is a children's burial ground (GA100-126002-) in the W half. It is surrounded by mature trees. The large size of the enclosure and presence of the children's burial ground suggest it may be an early ecclesiastical enclosure.

• GA100-126002 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In undulating pastureland. Named 'Children's Burial Gd.' on the 1946 edition of the OS 6-inch map, this burial ground occupies the W half of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (GA100-126002-). It is roughly oval in shape (64.5m N-S; 48.2m E-W) and is surrounded by mature beech, chestnut and lime trees. It is now delimited by a metal rod fence; originally it appears to have been unenclosed. Access is gained via a gateway at NNW. Burials marked by erect and collapsed crudely shaped limestone headstones, and typical of a children's burial ground, are concentrated in the N half. However three later headstones are also visible, two of which bear inscriptions. The most complete one reads: In memory of Charles McCracken Born May 1834 Died April 1921 This headstone indicates that a least one adult was buried here.

• GA100-130 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In an area of marshy pastureland. Marked on the 1947 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular unenclosed area of brushwood (diam. c. 40). All that survives is a faint subcircular rise. The site is known locally as a ‘lisheen’. However, the landowner, who removed whitethorn bushes during land reclamation several years ago, did not recall the presence of any stones or grave-markers which would have indicated a children's burial ground.
