• GA106-057 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved roughly circular rath (diam. c. 45m) defined by a bank. A field wall cuts through it from NE to SW and a house has been built to its S. A possible souterrain (GA106-057001-) is associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 1 December 2017

• GA106-095001 Church
  Description

  Within a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA106-095005- ). All that survives of this poorly preserved medieval rectangular church(12m E-W; 5.75m N-S) is the W gable and the N side-wall along with the return of the S side-wall. At the time of the OS Letters (O’Flanagan, 1727, Vol. 2, 4-6), sections of the E gable and the adjoining S side-wall also stood. The only in-situ architectural feature is a flat-headed single-light window situated off-centre in the W gable at first-floor level, directly above it a horizontal offset is visible. This indicates the former presence of a loft at this end of the church. Some worked stone, including the head of a round-headed window and an arch stone of a doorway lie within the interior of the church as well as a number of modern burials. A later structure (5.75m N-S; 3m E-W) has also been built within it, against the W gable wall. Its barrel-vaulted roof is now covered externally with cement. Access is via a doorway that is off-centre in the E wall and there is a rectangular window in the N and S walls. Internally there is an alcove in N wall. Three graveslabs dating to the 18th and 19th centuries are along the W gable. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 21 February 2020

• GA106-095002 Graveyard
  Description

  This roughly subcircular graveyard (c. 65m NW-SE; c. 57m NE-SW) lies within a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (GA106-095005-). The remains of a church (GA106-095001-) stand roughly in its centre. The graveyard is delimited by a modern concrete wall and access is gained via a gateway at S. Almost all of the headstones are modern but three similar rectangular grave-markers were illegible. The graveyard is still in use. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 21 February 2020

• GA106-095005 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  On a locally prominent rise in open undulating pastureland, c. 540m to the E of 'Kilcooly Castle' (106-094----). On the 1838 and 1933 editions of the OS 6-inch map, the graveyard (GA106-095002-) associated with the church (GA106-095001-) is depicted as being roughly subcircular in plan (c. 65m NW-SE; c. 57m NE-SW), suggesting that it may mirror the line of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure. On inspection a low rocky scarp (H 1m max.) was traceable outside the modern graveyard wall, at a distance of 1.2m, from SW through N to SE. At N, this is supplemented by traces of a low stony bank (Wth 1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m). It is possible that this scarp/bank is the remains of an ecclesiastical enclosure.

• GA106-095006 Souterrain
  Description

  On a prominent rise in undulating pastureland, c. 100m to the S of a church (GA106-095001-). This souterrain was uncovered in 1992 as a result of the bulldozing of a ‘mound’. When inspected most of the roof lintels had been removed revealing a drystone-built souterrain (L >21.3m) consisting of two chambers connected by a creep running E-W. The 1st chamber (L 3.9m; Wth 2.1m; H 2m) lay at the W end. A linear rubble-filled hollow (L 5.3m) indicated that it extended further to the W. A creep (L 1.7m; Wth 0.7m; H 0.6m) at its E end lead to the 2nd chamber (L 3.8m; Wth 1.3-2m; H 2m). Another linear rubble-filled hollow (L 6.6m) indicated that it too extended further to the E. Shortly after the site visit the souterrain was filled in as it posed a danger to livestock. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 10 September 2019

• GA106-096 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In low-lying scrubland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 24m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall; inner and outer foundation boulders are visible from ENE to SSE. There is an entrance gap (Wth 1.5m) at ESE. There is a small hollow in the NNE sector of the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2018

• GA106-180 Enclosure
  Description

  In pastureland. A square enclosure (c. 20m NW-SE; c. 17m NE-SW) is visible on satellite imagery (© Apple Maps). It was identified and reported to the Survey by Jean-Charles Caillère. A field boundary, running roughly NE-SW, runs across its N side. Another very small rectangular structure is visible on the image to the N of the boundary, a short distance from the NE corner of the enclosure.
