• GA002-036 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a NE-facing slope in gently rolling grassland. Very poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 42m, E-W 37.4m) defined by a bank and external fosse; the latter is present from E through S to SW. The bank is overlain by a field boundary from NE to SE and does not survive at NW. A large modern pit some 2m deep occupies NE sector of interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

• GA002-037 Enclosure
  Description

  On an E-facing slope in grassland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1929) as a slightly curving field boundary along N edge of a roughly quadrangular tree-planted enclosure (c. 60m by c. 50m). No trace of the latter survives and all that is visible is a tree-covered earthen bank curving from NW through N to NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

• GA007-087 Enclosure
  Description

  In gently undulating grassland immediately to NW of the county road. Very poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (N-S 47m) defined by a low bank of earth and stone from W through N to E; a degraded scarp defines S half of the monument. The area immediately inside the bank is lower than the surrounding field, giving the impression of an internal fosse. However, this feature may be natural as the interior gradually rises towards the centre. Cultivation ridges run N-S across the interior and overlie the scarp. Possibly a landscape feature or, less likely, a large barrow. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
