- GA098-137001 Church
Description
In pastureland and roughly centrally located on the W side of Kilreekill village. Named 'Old Chapel' on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map and indicated as a roofed building aligned roughly E-W. It stood immediately to the S of a later 'R.C. Chapel' (GA098-137003-). On the 1933 edition of the map it is named 'Chapel (in Rns.) and only a short section of it S side-wall is depicted. It was separated from the later church by the boundary wall of the associated graveyard (GA098-137002-). It was dedicated to St Richella, possibly a sister of St Patrick or St Finnian (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 395). According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 1, 482-3) the only surviving remnant of it that survived in 1838 was a wall (L c. 10m) 'apparently modern' in which there was 'a pointed archway constructed of rude stones and lime and sand mortar.' The arch was 'nearly 9 [c. 2.7m] feet high and 7 [2.1m] feet broad at the ground'. No visible surface trace of it survives. A number of graves now occupy this area of the graveyard. According to local information, the wall was knocked down years ago and the stone from it was used as building material. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 8 April 2020
- GA098-137002 Graveyard
Description
In pastureland and roughly centrally located on the W side of Kilreekill village. This graveyard (c. 73m NW-SE; c. 59m NE-SW) is to the S side of the 'Old Chapel' (GA098-137001-) and 'St. Mary's Church (GA098-137003-). Headstones and grave-markers date from the late 18th century and it is still in use and has been extended to the W and N of the church. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 8 April 2020
- GA098-137003 Church
Description
The following description is from www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/30409807/saint-marys-church-wallscourt-co-galway last accessed 8 April 2020. Freestanding gable-fronted T-plan Roman Catholic church, dated 1839, facing east having two-bay nave, single-bay transepts, canted apse to west elevation, and two-bay sacristy to west elevation of north transept. Pitched slate roofs, hipped to apse, with metal cross finials to transept gables, cut and carved limestone gabled bellcote to gable-front with cut limestone cross finial. Painted wetdashed rendered walls with smooth render plinth course and bands to quoins. Round-headed window openings to nave and transepts, pointed arch window flanked by circular windows to apse, segmental-headed windows to sacristy, all with painted rendered reveals and leaded windows. Pointed arch door main entrance, with chamfered cut and tooled limestone surround, limestone threshold and timber battened double leaf doors. Later timber gallery, carved marble altar furniture and leaded coloured glass windows to interior. Decorative plasterwork to ceiling of apse. Open scissors timber truss roof. Graveyard to south of site. Steel gates and railings with moulded concrete block plinth wall. The simple forms of this church are combined to form a pleasing whole. The cut limestone bellcote and door surround are evidently the work of skilled craftsmen. It is situated adjacent to the road, visible from both sides, creating a notable landmark in the village of Kilreekil. The decorative plasterwork to the ceiling of the apse and the coloured leaded windows add interest and enliven the interior. The church is contextualised by the graveyard to the south.

- GA098-114 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a low ridge in grassland, to the S of a stream. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (25.5m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is visible from WSW through N to ENE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from SSW through N to ENE. The monument has been quarried out in several places, especially at S. Cultivation ridges, running NE-SE, are visible immediately to its W.

- GA098-115 Ringfort - rath
Description
At the W end of a glacial ridge in undulating grassland. This large well-preserved subcircular rath (52.5m E-W; 46.5m N-S) is defined by a scarp, three banks and three intervening fosses. The central scarp is evident throughout. The inner bank is visible from WSW to NNE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The middle bank survives from E to ESE and from WSW to ENE; from ESE to WSW a scarp is visible. The outermost bank survives from NW through E to SW; elsewhere its line is preserved in a curving field boundary. The three fosses are extant all round. There is a well-defined entrance causeway (Wth 12m) at E. A souterrain (GA098-115001-) lies in the W sector of the interior. Knox’s plan (1918a, 78) includes a possible annexe at NW. No visible surface trace of this feature survives. (Westropp 1919, 183-4) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 January 2018
- GA098-115001 Souterrain
Description
Within the W sector of a multivallate rath (GA098-115----). This very well-preserved drystone-built souterrain (L 26.9m) consists of three chambers connected by two drop-hole creeps. Present access is at the ENE end of the 1st chamber (L 9m; Wth 1.9m; H 1.55m) which runs ENE-WSW. A drop-hole creep (L 1.9m; Wth 0.7m; H 0.5m) at the W end of the N side-wall leads into the 2nd chamber (L 7.3m; Wth 1.7m; H 1.7m) which runs NW-SE. At the N end of the W side-wall another drop-hole creep (L 2m; Wth 0.8m; H 0.7m) leads into the 3rd chamber (L 6.7m; Wth 1.6m; H 1.65m) running E-W. There is evidence of digging at the W end of this chamber and the S wall shows signs of interference. Each chamber widens towards the centre and has a curved end-wall; both creeps are partially blocked.
