Recorded monuments around it

This parcel is in the zone of notification of 3 recorded monuments.

• GA082-080001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  On E bank of River Corrib opposite Newcastle (GA094-040----) close to a probable fording point (GA082-090----). There was a castle here in 1574, at which time it was in the possession of 'Domynick Lynch' (Nolan 1901, 115). No visible surface trace of the latter survives, however. The present fragmentary ruins, probably on the same site, are those of a 17th-C gabled house (GA080-080002-). (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 1, 166-7) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.

• GA082-080002 House - 17th century
  Description

  On E bank of River Corrib, probably on the site of an earlier castle (GA082-080001-). Fragmentary ruins of a roughly rectangular two-storey 17th-C house (L 24.45m, Wth c. 10.5m ext.), in local authority care. Most of S end is now reduced to foundations but an enigmatic offset in the line of W wall suggests that more than one phase of construction may have been involved. The N gable, steeply pitched and crowned by three fine diamond chimneys, is intact, as is N end of W wall. The latter contains a doorway flanked by four twin-lighted mullioned windows with hood-mouldings, arranged in two storeys. Traces of two or more windows of a gabled attic survive above these, and the corbels of angle bartizans are visible on NE and NW corners at the same level. There are fireplaces in N and E walls and an oven in NE corner on ground floor. (Fahey 1901c, 315; Leask 1977, 156-7) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.

• GA082-081 House - 18th/19th century
  Description

  This house was probably erected in the 18th century as a replacement for Terryland Castle (GA ) to the north which was burned in 1691. This house was described in 1838 as 'inhabited by caretaker in a state of ruin' (OS Name Book, 45-6). The house gradually fell into complete ruin and only fragmentary remains survive.
