Recorded monuments

• GA095-004 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a rise in pastureland. Described by Athy (1914, 135) as a ‘much ravelled’ circular rath (diam. c. 30m), the ‘rampart’ of which was ‘stone faced inside’. The ‘rampart and ditch’ were ‘almost almost obliterated’ on the ‘E side’. All that survives is a section of walling (Wth 3.4m; H 0.9m) at W, which is partially obscured by field-clearance rubble, suggesting that this is a cashel. A later field wall overlies the line of the cashel wall at N and another field wall running NNW-SSE on its E side probably cut through the NE section of the enclosing element (McCaffrey 1952, 135 no. 45) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 26 February 2018

• GA095-085 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In grassland overlooking marshy land to the S. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. c. 27m) is defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse, which are heavily overgrown with bushes. Gaps at NE and NW appear to be modern. A field wall overlies the outer bank. A possible children's burial ground (GA095-085001-) lies within the interior. (Athy 1914, 135; McCaffrey 1952, 136, no. 47) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 26 February 2018
