Recorded monuments

• GA095-017 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a rise in rocky scrubland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 32m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall overlain by a later field wall. A field wall cuts across the monument from E to W. There is a souterrain (GA095-017001-) in the interior (Holt 1912, 226, no. 41). (O’Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 300; McCaffrey 1952, 128, no. 28) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 1 December 2017

• GA095-017001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the interior of the cashel (GA095-017----). Holt (1912, 226, no. 41) noted ‘a depression in the garth, filled with rubble stones’; it may mark the site of a souterrain. No visible surface trace of it survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 1 December 2017

• GA095-019001 Souterrain
  Description

  In gently undulating pastureland. Holt (1912, 226, no. 42) refers to 'a souterrain, under a bush near the roadside, with some traces of the foundations of a caher wall [GA095-019002-]'. According to the landowner, the field was cleared of rock in the 1950s during land reclamation. While he did not recall the 'stone fort', the souterrain was filled in and covered with rubble at that time. Its site is marked by some clearance rubble around the base of an elder bush. No visible surface trace of the cashel survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 6 September 2018
