Recorded monuments

• GA104-181 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On an E-facing slope. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 237-8, no. 101) as an oval ‘Earthen fort’ (c. 67m N-S; c. 50m E-W ext.) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. McCaffrey (ibid.) noted three rectangular house sites (GA104-181002-, GA104-181003 and GA104-181004-) in the E half of the interior, an internal division in the SW quadrant and a souterrain (GA104-181001-) in the NW quadrant. The inner bank is visible except from SSE to S and is best preserved from WSW to NNW where internal stone-facing is evident. All the internal features noted by McCaffrey survive but there is no visible surface trace of the fosse or outer bank. A field system (GA104-188----) surrounds the monument from N through E to S.

• GA104-181001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the NW quadrant of a rath (GA104-181----). This rectangular drystone-built chamber (L >7m), which runs SE-NW, is inaccessible due to collapse. (Knox and Redington 1916, 179-80; McCaffrey 1952, 62, 65, 238, no. 101) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 January 2018

• GA104-181002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  McCaffrey (1952, 237-8) noted ‘three rectangular house sites’ within the E half of the interior of the rath (GA104-181----), one of which measured ‘64’ [19.5m] x 32’ [9.7m] overall, walls 3’[0.9m] wide and 2’ [0.6m] high’. On inspection in February 1983 three subrectangular features noted at NE, SE and SW may correspond to these houses. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 30 July 2018

• GA104-182 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle E-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved irregularly shaped rath (30.2m NNW-SSE; 28.9m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank. A field wall cuts through the monument at NW and SW and no visible surface trace of the bank survives to the W of it. Along the S sector, the enclosing bank appears to be straight. To the S of it there is a possible annexe, rectangular in plan (ENE-WSW 22.5m; NNW-SSE 19.7m). It is defined by a bank of similar construction to the rath and it contains a souterrain (GA104-182001-) in its W half.

• GA104-182001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within an annexe adjoining a rath (GA104-182----). Described by Knox and Redington (1916, 179-80) as a drystone-built souterrain (L >7.3m) consisting of a short passage connected at right angles, via a creep, to a rectangular chamber. Both ends of the chamber had partially collapsed. The souterrain is now inaccessible. It is indicated by a shallow depression (L 3m) running E-W. This was misplaced by McCaffrey (1952, 64-5, 238, no. 119) in the cashel (GA104-183----) c. 440m to the SSE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 January 2018

• GA104-183 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In level pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 238, no. 119) as a circular ‘Stone fort’ defined by a double-faced wall. A slight rise (H 0.3m) in the field level now indicates the outline of the enclosing element of this cashel (diam. 36m).

The interior and part of the bank at E were destroyed as a result of sand digging.
