Recorded monuments

• GA123-052 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a rise in level farmland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (29m WSW-ENE; 25m N-S) defined by a drystone wall that is much obscured by overgrowth. Field walls overlie the monument from WNW to N and from E through S to W, where the wall is much collapsed. A souterrain (GA123-052001-) lies in WSW sector of the interior.

• GA123-052001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the WSW sector of a cashel (GA123-052----). This drystone-built rectangular passage (L 4.9m; Wth 1.58m; H 1.55m) runs ENE-WSW. Access is gained via a displaced roof lintel near its W end. A possible air vent is visible at its E end. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2018

• GA123-053 Church
  Description

  In low-lying grassland near the S limits of Kilbeacanty village. At least two phases of construction are evident in this ruined rectangular medieval church (16.9m E-W; 6.6m N-S). The W gable and both side-walls survive but only the returns of E gable are evident. A clear break in the masonry of the side-walls is visible and that to the W of it (L 12m) is almost semi-cyclopean in nature while that to the E (L 6.3m) consists of smaller boulders. The main architectural features, all of which are found in S side-wall, include a blocked-up doorway near the W end, a robbed-out window, to the E of which there is a single-light ogee-headed window. Next to this, near the SE corner a small rectangular recess, probably an aumbry, is visible. Two very narrow openings are also visible in the W gable at a height of c. 5m.
