• GA114-106001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) with a ‘Cave’ in the interior. McCaffrey (1952, 283) classified the monument as an ‘Earthen fort (?)’ and noted that it ‘contained a souterrain’; however nothing remained of the fort. Due to field clearance, no visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 January 2018

• GA114-107 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a slope in pastureland. Circular rath (diam. 30.8m), in fair condition, defined by a tree-planted bank of earth and stone with traces of internal stone-facing. There is an entrance gap (Wth 1.5m) at SE outside of which a low rectangular stony platform (L 3.5m; Wth 2.2m) is visible; it may be associated. There is a souterrain (GA114-107001-) within the NW quadrant of the interior. (McCaffrey 1952, 283, no. 81a) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 January 2018

• GA114-107001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the NW quadrant of a rath (GA114-107----). This partially collapsed and inaccessible souterrain (L >16m) is L-shaped in plan. The long axis (L 10m) runs N-S and is indicated by an area of collapse (L 6m) and a slight rise (L 4m). The short axis (L 6m) extends off its SE end and runs E-W. It is possible to view this section through a gap at its W end. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 January 2018

• GA114-108001 Enclosure
  Description

  On a S-facing slope in reclaimed pastureland with scrub and rock outcrop to the S. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 284, no. 100) as an oval 'Enclosure' (L c. 62.2m; Wth c. 34.4m) defined by 'one ring of boulders'. No visible surface trace survives. A house site (GA114-108005-) lies to the S. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 21 September 2017

• GA114-108002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  In an area of rough pasture. This subrectangular house site (8m E-W; 5.15m N-S) is defined by a low bank of stone and earth from W to N to S. It is unclear if it is the house noted by McCaffrey (1952, 284) or else a smaller house close to or on the site of the former. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 21 September 2017

• GA114-108003 Enclosure

• GA114-108004 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Described by McCaffrey (1952, 284) as a rectangular house site (c. 14.3m by c. 7m) defined by a bank. A smaller house site (see GA114-108002-) is visible in this area. It is unclear whether the latter it that noted by McCaffrey or a separate one that was built on or close to its site. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 21 September 2017

• GA114-108005 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  In dense undergrowth. This ruined square house site (c. 7m N-S; c. 7m E-W) is defined along the W, N and E sides by low grassed-over foundation lines. No trace of the S wall survives. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 21 September 2017

• GA114-108006 Building
  Description

  In reclaimed pastureland. This ruined rectangular building (9m E-W; 6m N-S) is defined by grassed-over foundation lines. The W side is built into the rising ground level. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 21 September 2017

• GA114-108008 Field boundary
  Description

  In an area of scrubland and rock outcrop with reclaimed land to W and N. An old field wall (L c. 30m), running roughly NNE-SSW, is defined by a single line of large boulders set on edge and regularly spaced c. 1.2m apart. Towards its NNE end a D-shaped field (c. 26m by 11m) defined by a grassed-over stony bank with occasional large boulders set on edge, similar to the field wall, was also noted.
