• GA073-138 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the summit of a hillock in undulating grassland. Circular rath (D 34m) (GA073-138----), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives at W and N; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The outer bank survives intermittently and is best preserved at S. A gap (Wth 2m) at E appears original. Within the interior, a rectangular hollow (L 9m), long axis running E-W, is possibly the remains of a souterrain (GA073-138001-).

• GA073-143001 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  On a slight rise in rolling pastureland. Circular rath (D 33m), in fair condition, defined by an inner berm-like feature, an intervening fosse and outer bank. The fosse and outer bank survive only at S. The present form of the inner enclosing element may well be the result of the construction of a burial ground (GA073-143003-) which occupies the whole interior of the rath. Its boundary wall occupies the perimeter of the interior and may well overlie an original inner bank. A gap at SW appears modern.

• GA073-143003 Burial ground
  Description

  Within a ringfort (GA073-143001-). Named on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as 'Trench's monument', it is also named on 3rd ed. (1933) as a burial ground. The final resting place of the Trench family of Woodlawn House, it was last used for burial in 1979. A massive and well-preserved castle-like structure, it comprises a circular curtain wall (D c. 32m, H c. 3m) crowned by stepped crenellations, the merlons of which are punctuated by cross-shaped loops. An ornamental entrance at N gives access to the interior which is occupied by a centrally placed circular tower (D c. 10m, H c. 15m) and a number of graveslabs. An arched doorway opens into the roofless interior. The wall of the tower is capped by a string course surmounted by plain crenellations. The interior contains a vault.

• GA073-145 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  On a ridge in grassland, c. 100m N of the td. boundary. Poorly preserved pear-shaped enclosure (N-S 76m, E-W 76m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is visible at N and S; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank survive from SW to N. A causewayed-gap (Wth 3.5m) at NW may indicate the original entrance. Within SE quadrant of the interior is a CBG (GA073-145001-). Its presence, when coupled with the size of this monument and its proximity to the td. boundary, raises the possibility that it could be an early ecclesiastical enclosure. A possible rath (GA073-165----) lies c. 90m to the NNE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
