• GA097-082 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In gently undulating pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as an unenclosed circular area (diam. < 10m), this children's burial ground is defined by a poorly preserved unenclosed subrectangular platform (L 6.2m; Wth 5.3m). Some 3m to its W a degraded scarp may have formed its original limits. The interior is filled with loose stones, possibly displaced grave-markers.

• GA097-084001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  On a gentle rise in pastureland, this much-ruined tower house (8.2m N-S; 7.1m E-W) overlooks a bend in the Clogharevaun River to the E and commands a crossing point on the river c. 90m to the SSW. It was incorporated into the E wall of an associated bawn (GA097-084002-). Records indicate that it was in existence in 1574 when it was in the possession of 'Hugh McSwyne' (Nolan 1901, 121). Originally four storeys high with a base-batter, it is constructed of roughly coursed blocks; ashlar quoins survive at the upper levels. Its entire S half has collapsed. Only the N wall and adjoining portions of the E and W walls still stand to anything like their full height but following a lightning strike most of the outer wall-face of the E wall has collapsed. The much-collapsed original pointed doorway, set off-centre in the N wall, gave access to a lobby with an overhead murder-hole. From the lobby, further doorways led to spiral stairs in the NE corner and to the main ground-floor room (now choked with rubble). There were stone vaults between the ground/1st floor and 2nd/3rd floors but both are now largely destroyed. There were small chambers to the N of the main rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors. The 3rd floor was undivided. An intramural passage is visible in the thickness of the E wall on the 2nd floor. Remains of vertical loops that lit the stairwell survive at ground and first-floor levels and the only surviving window is a single light with an ogee-head on the 2nd floor in the N wall. Two doorways in this wall, one visible at a height of c. 1.95m and the other at c. 4.3m, connected the tower with an adjoining house that was subsequently constructed against its N face. Little of the latter building survives save a short portion of its W side-wall (Wth 0.9m) which abuts the NW corner of the tower. However, a grassed-over stony surface to the N of the castle, plus the shadow of a gable on its N face, suggest that it was a rectangular two-storey structure (L c. 20m, Wth 7.1m). Two putlog holes above the original doorway to the tower are most likely associated with the house and may have held timber beams or corbels that supported a floor. A field system (GA079-084001-) is associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 September 2018 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 2/1995).

• GA097-084002 Field system
  Description

  On a gentle rise in pastureland overlooking a bend in the Clogharevaun River to the E. This field system was located to the SE and S of a tower house (GA097-084001-) and bawn (GA097-084003-). It comprised three rectangular fields and traces of two others that were defined by grass-covered earthen banks (Wth 1-2.5m; H 0.7m max.). The largest field (14 hectares) lay alongside and to the S of the S wall of the bawn. Two smaller fields adjoined it to the SE. About 20m to the NE of these traces of the two other fields were visible (Cody 1989, 361, Fig. 22). Cody (ibid.) suggested that the field system was most likely associated with the occupancy of the tower house. In September 1995 land reclamation had removed all traces of the field system (Connolly 1995, 7). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 5 September 2018 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 2/1995).

• GA097-084003 Bawn
  Description

  This rectangular bawn (47m N-S; 32m E-W) is associated with a tower house (GA097-084001-) which is incorporated into its E side. Its S half was artificially raised by c. 0.5m to make a level interior, thus creating a shallow platform appearance (Cody 1989, 357). When inspected in May 1983 only fragmentary traces of the enclosing wall survived. It was best preserved at SW (H 5-6m; Wth 0.6m) where the remains of a ruined building were incorporated into it. Substantial lengths of walling were visible along its W side but its E side and most of the N and S sides survived only as a grassed-over stony bank (Wth 2m; H 0.5-1m). Extending from the SW corner the S wall survived for a length of 17m, varying in height from 0.2m to 1.7m. More than half of it was incorporated into a later shed that was constructed on its line. Along the W side, N of the building in the SW corner, two 15m stretches of wall ranged in height from 0.5m to 2m. To the N of these a similar length was ruined almost to ground level. Between that and the NW corner two short lengths both 2m high survived. On the N side only a 3m length of wall, c. 5m from the NW corner survived. The E end of this stretch marked a wall end that was probably one side of an entranceway into the bawn. Here the wall was 1.5m thick. Within the bawn, as noted above, the SW corner appeared to have been incorporated into a rectangular building (c. 5m N-S; 2.6m E-W). Its E wall (Wth 0.65m) was ruined to ground level and there was no visible surface trace of the N wall. An offset at a height of c. 4m in the S and W walls probably carried a floor of which there was no trace. Two opes in both the S wall and W walls lit the upper room. Two other lengths of grass-covered walling running from the W wall to the interior of the bawn may be the remains of other buildings. In September 1995 it was noted that the surviving walling at the NW corner had been destroyed (Connolly 1995, 7). Aerial imagery http://map.geohive.ie/ last accessed 5 September) shows that by 2000 most of the S wall had been levelled.

• GA097-084004 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In level pastureland, some 125m to the S of Clogharevaun Castle (GA097-084001-). Described by Cody (1989, 159, no. 16) as a flat-topped grass-covered mound (12m E-W; 8m N-S; H 0.6m), roughly crescentic in plan and open to the N. The Clogharevaun River flows E-W immediately to its S. Some apparently burnt stone was visible in the river bank towards the W end of the mound. According to Cody (ibid.), the S edge of the fulacht fia was removed when the course of the river was straightened some time between 1838 and 1892. It was originally located c. 10-12m to N of the river. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 25 November 2019

• GA097-085 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On the summit of a ridge in rolling pastureland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (23.6m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall best preserved from NW to N. A field wall cuts through the enclosing element at S. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 27 November 2017
