Recorded monuments

• GA104-063 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a prominent rise in pastureland, overlooking Lough Kinlea to W. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 25m) defined by traces of the outer face of a drystone wall from SE to SW and from NW to NE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The monument is obscured by field-clearance rubble from W to NW and a field wall cuts it at NW and SW. (McCaffrey 1952, 227, no. 86) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 December 2017

• GA104-123 Barrow - mound barrow
  Description

  In rough pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 17-18, no. 87) as a 'Simple, round, flat-topped' barrow which was circular in plan with an 'overall diameter 44 feet; height 3 feet [diam. 13.4m; H 0.9m]'. He also noted that the top of the grass covered mound, with a 'diameter of 33 feet [c. 10m]', was markedly flat. On inspection in March 1983 and on re-inspection in October 2001 the mound was densely overgrown with briars and thorn bushes making it impossible to examine the monument in detail. Based on McCaffrey's details it is possible that this is a mound barrow. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 November 2019

• GA104-124 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In gently undulating pastureland. When initially inspected in June 1992 this poorly preserved subcircular cashel (47m N-S; 42m E-W) was defined by a drystone wall best preserved from N through E to S. The W half was overlain by a field wall and field-clearance rubble partially obscured the enclosing element at W. Another field wall cut across the monument from N to S. On a revisit in October 2001 the interior of the cashel to the E of the N-S running field wall was completely overgrown. A possible souterrain (GA104-124001-) and house site (GA104-124002-)are associated. (McCaffrey 1952, 228, no. 89a) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 December 2017

• GA104-124001 Souterrain
  Description

  In the W half of a cashel (GA104-124----). McCaffrey (1952, 228, no. 89a) noted a 'depression in the ground', which he labelled 'Sout.' on his accompanying sketch plan of the cashel. No visible surface trace survives but an irregular pile of field-clearance rubble marks its site. Two large limestone slabs protruding from the rubble may be from the souterrain.

• GA104-124002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  In the N sector of the interior of a cashel (GA104-124----). McCaffrey (1952, 228, 89a) noted a 'house site 50' [15m] x 18' [5.5m] overall' abutting the cashel wall. His accompanying sketch plan (ibid.) shows that the later N-S field wall running across the monument roughly divided it in two. The wall was '3' [0.9m] wide, 1' [0.3m] high'. No visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 December 2017

• GA104-125 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough grazing land. When initially inspected in March 1983 this poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 17.4m) was defined by a grassed-over bank of earth and stone which was completely obscured by overgrowth. McCaffrey (1952, 228, no. 88) noted ‘a depression in the northeast quadrant of the interior’ but no visible surface trace of it survived. On a revisit in October 2001 the monument had become completely overgrown with thorns and briars and was inaccessible. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 December 2017

• GA104-126 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Some 80m to the NE of a rath (GA104-125----). Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 228, no. 89) as a very ruinous ‘Earthen fort’. The monument, oval in plan (26.5m E-W; 15.8m N-S), is defined by a bank of earth and stone. Field-clearance rubble has been piled in the heavily overgrown N sector of the interior.
