Recorded monuments

• GA027-014 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Close to a small inlet on S shore of Lough Mask. Historical sources attest the presence of a castle here in early 14th C (Topgr. Files, NMI) but the present remains may not be that old. All that survives is NE corner of a rectangular building. The E wall (Wth 2.8m max.) contains a doorway on ground floor at its N end giving direct access into a barrel-vaulted chamber (now broken) running E-W (>7.7m by 6m). A doorway in S wall of this chamber led to a second, now gone. The N wall, which survives to a height of c. 11m, contains part of an intramural stair which evidently connected the 1st and 2nd floors. (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 35-6, 40; Hardiman 1846, 46-8) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
