• GA114-129 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  In pastureland. This very well-defined circular ring-barrow (overall diam. 36.2m) is defined by a central flat-topped area (diam. c. 7.5m; H 0.1m) that is level with the surrounding field or perhaps slightly lower that it. The fosse is wide and deep and the outer bank is also wide and flat and slopes to the external field level. A gap in the NW quadrant may be modern. A slight depression in the central area may indicate disturbance. A rath (GA114-131----) lies c. 25m to the SE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 30 August 2018 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 4/1956).

• GA114-130 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  On a raised area in flat pastureland. This roughly circular ring-barrow (diam. 52.7m), in fair condition, comprises a low flat-topped mound (diam. 43.4m) encircled by a fosse and external bank of earth and stone. There are two possible entrances in the bank, at N and S. Other ring-barrows (GA114-132----, GA114-134---- and GA114-135----) lies c. 80m to SSE, c. 200m to SW and c. 310m to the SSW respectively.

• GA114-131 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pastureland overlooking lower ground to the SSW. When inspected in October 1982, this very impressive and well-preserved subcircular rath (int. dims. c. 58m NW-SE; c. 48m NE-SW; overall dim. c. 96m NW-SE) was clearly visible and free of overgrowth. On re-inspection in January 2019 it was not as obvious due to the impact of a forestry plantation around it. The rath is defined by three banks and two fosses. The outer bank (Wth 1.4m; base Wth 5.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.6m) is visible from SE through W and N to NNE. A roadway clips it from NE to SE. The middle fosse (Wth 2.75m), middle bank (Wth 2m; base Wth 6.5m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 1.5m), inner fosse (Wth 3m) and inner bank (Wth 1.7m; base Wth 6.8m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 2.5m) are visible all round but are obscured at W due to overgrowth. The interior is clear and featureless. An enclosure (GA114-133----) lies c. 98m to the WSW and there is a ring-barrow (GA114-128----) c. 80m to the NW.

• GA114-132 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  In level grassland, c. 110m to the SE of a ring-barrow (GA114-130----). A NW-SE running field boundary clips the monument at SW. This densely overgrown circular area (diam. 38.3m) is defined by a fosse and traces of a possible external earthen bank. The interior is lower than the surrounding field level. Other ring-barrows (GA114-130----, GA114-134---- and GA114-135----) lie c. 80m to the NNE, c. 260m to the WSW and c. 355m to the SSW respectively.

• GA114-133 Ringfort - rath
  Description

• GA114-134 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

In 1953 Duignan (SMR file) noted traces of a ‘bank demolished in places’; no visible surface trace survives. The interior is planted with coniferous trees. A number of field-clearance spoil heaps have been piled along the edge of fosse. Other ring-barrows (GA114-130----, GA114-132---- and GA114-135----) lie c. 200m to the NE, c. 260m to the ENE and c. 90m to the SW respectively.

• GA114-135 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  In flat pastureland. Marked on the 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a small circular mound (diam. c. 10m). Apart from a low rise, no visible surface trace survives.
