Recorded monuments

• GA113-105 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  On a gentle rise in undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 32m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. A series of bumps and hollows within the interior may represent the remains of internal structures. (McCaffrey 1952, 269, no. 26) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 December 2017

• GA113-106 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On an E-facing slope in pastureland. Circular rath (diam. c. 56m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank is overlain by a field wall from S through W to NW and no visible surface trace survives from N to E. There is a causewayed entrance gap(Wth 2.5m) at E. There is a souterrain (GA113-106001-) in the interior. (McCaffrey 1952, 270, no. 27) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 December 2017

• GA113-106001 Souterrain
  Description

  In the NW quadrant of the interior of a rath (GA113-106----). A linear depression (L 12m; Wth 2m), running NNW-SSE, may mark the site of the 'Cave' shown on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. (McCaffrey 1952, 270, No. 27) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 December 2017

• GA113-107 Souterrain
  Description

  On a rise in pastureland. Described by McCaffrey (1952, 270, no. 26a) as a ‘large L-shaped souterrain, containing vent-holes and a ‘creep-hole’ or trap’. Only a well-preserved drystone-built passage (L 6.9m; Wth 1.1-1.95m; H 0.7-1.95m), beneath a N-S running field boundary, is now evident. The access point (Wth 1.1m; H 0.7m) is on the S side of a rubble-filled rectangular hollow (L 16m; Wth 1.1m; D 0.4m) at its N end - the field boundary kinks around the hollow at this point. The N end of the passage is filled with rubble but the original bedrock floor is visible at the S end. Natural bedrock is incorporated into the side-walls. A small triangular alcove (H 1m; Wth 0.95m; L 1.35m) at SW may be one of the air vents noted by McCaffrey. A stone-filled depression (L 1m; Wth 0.5m), c. 5m to the NE of the N end of the passage may be associated. Another ‘cave’ noted towards the middle of the field (pers. comm. S. O’Callaghan) was not visible. Again, it may be related to this souterrain. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 10 September 2019
