• GA113-185 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle S-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (50m N-S; 46m E-W) defined by a bank except from NNW to ENE where a road cuts through the monument. A field wall crosses the interior from WSW to ENE and another field wall has been built against the external face of the bank at E. Field clearance material has been packed against the bank in several places with the result that it varies in width from 3.4m at NNW to 7m at S. A well has been sunk in the NW quadrant of the interior. A souterrain (GA113-185001-) is associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 7 March 2018

• GA113-217 Milestone
  Description

  In a grassy verge at a T-junction on the E side of the road. This milestone, named ‘M.S.’ on the 1922 edition of the OS 6-inch map, has been moved about 20m to the N of its original location (ITM 544585, 707972). It consists of a trapezoidal-shaped limestone pillar (max. H 1.37m; Wth 0.31m at front, 0.46m at rear; D 0.32m) with a narrow chamfers to the front margins. The upper part of the pillar is well dressed and some fine tooling marks are visible on the N face. Three faces are inscribed – the N face reads: ‘3 From Gort’, the W or front face: ‘14 From Galway’ and the S face: ‘9½ From Oranmore’. On the N face a narrow light fillet or moulding separates the number 3 from the text below it. Above this line the face is cut back by 0.01m (O’Sullivan 2021, No. 4). The milestone is one of nine in the study area, see also GA122-098----, GA122-147----, GA122-148----, GA113-189----, GA113-218----, GA103-217---, GA103-218---- and GA103-219----).
