Recorded monuments

• GA114-118 Enclosure
  Description

  On a terrace, on a NW-facing slope. This subrectangular enclosure (22.6m E-W; 9.9m N-S) is defined by a slight scarp, except in SE quadrant where traces of a bank and external fosse are visible. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 April 2019

• GA114-119 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a NW-facing slope in pastureland, to the NE of a stream. This heavily overgrown circular rath (diam. c. 30m) is defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is best preserved in the N half. The fosse is deep and wide and the outer bank is well preserved except at SW where some erosion has occurred. A souterrain (GA114-119001-) is associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 29 January 2018

• GA114-119001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the N sector of the interior of a rath (GA114-119----). Named 'Cave' on the 1838 and 1921 editions of the OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace of this souterrain survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 29 January 2018

• GA114-120 Enclosure
  Description

  In pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a subrectangular enclosure (c. 56m NE-SW; c. 47m N-S). Field boundaries overlay the enclosing element along the SE and SW sides. On the 1921 edition a NW-SE field boundary cut across the site from roughly W to SSE and only the area to its N is depicted. On inspection in October 1982 no visible surface trace survived. However, slight traces of its outline are visible from roughly S through W to N on the OSi Ortho_ITM aerial imagery (Google 2019).

• GA114-180 Architectural fragment
  Description

  When visited in September 1992, this architectural fragment was embedded into the E concrete pillar of a modern gateway that marked the entrance to a private house. It consisted of a finely carved corbel stone (Wth 0.22m), probably of 15th-century date, with a very well-carved human head on its lower curving face. A plaque on the N face of the pillar, dated 1986, named the landowner. This area was subsequently planted with trees by Coillte. In advance of proposed tree-harvesting and the construction of a forestry access road that would have required the widening of the gateway, it was decided that the pillar should be moved to a safer location within the same field. The monitoring of this move was undertaken in June 2020 when the pillar was moved to its present location (Taylor and McCarthy 2020). Photographs taken in 1992 showed that the main features of the carved head, lentoid eyes, damaged tapering triangular nose, large ears and flat cap, were all still intact.
