• GA099-126 Quarry
  Description

  A hachured feature marked on the1946-7 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1983 to be disused quarry defined by a series of hollows. 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: 8 August 2014

• GA099-127 Graveyard
  Description

  On the E side of Kiltormer village. This well-maintained rectilinear graveyard (c. 50m NW-SE; c. 44m E-W) is defined by a mortared stone wall capped with concrete. Access is gained via a gateway at N. Headstones range in date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 2, 113) 'the old protestant church [GA099-1270020] of this parish' stood in this graveyard and it was in use 'until a few years ago, when it was thrown down' and only its foundations were discernible. No visible surface trace of this structure now survives but a possible finial cross (GA099-127001-) noted in the SE of the graveyard may be associated with it. A holy well (GA099-123----) lies c. 55m to the E. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 March 2020

• GA099-127001 Cross
  Description

  Within the SE part of the graveyard (GA099-127----). This small plain square cross (H 0.45m; arm span 0.45m) with chamfered edges may be a finial cross and it is possibly of 17th-C date. It was brought to our attention by Mr. Christy Cunniffe. It may be associated with the church (GA099-127002-).
