Recorded monuments

• GA029-001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a S-facing slope overlooking marshy land. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 51m, E-W 48m) defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is present from E to S, and a scarp forms the enclosing element from NE to E and from SW toWNW; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A gap at E could be original. A field fence has been built on the line of the outer bank from NW to E. There is a souterrain (GA029-001001-) within the interior. (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 447; Weir 1980, 151) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

  Description

  Within N Half of a ringfort (GA029-001----). Well-preserved drystone-built souterrain consisting of three chambers connected by two creeps; known locally as 'Gurranes cave' (Costello 1903, 1). Present access via a displaced roof lintel into a short passage (L 2.1m) at SE end of 1st chamber (L 6.5) which runs NW-SE. A creep at NW end leads to 2nd chamber (L 11.5m) running NE-SW. Another creep at SW end of this chamber leads to 3rd chamber (L. 6.3m) running NNE-SSW. Costello (ibid., 2) noted the existence of two air vents at S end of 3rd chamber, only one of which survives.
