• GA105-080 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in undulating pastureland. This circular rath (diam. 49.6m), in fair condition, is defined by an inner bank (base Wth 1.9m; Wth across the top 1.25m; int. H 0.95m; ext. H 2.18m), intervening fosse (base Wth 1.9m) and an outer bank (base Wth 4.25m; Wth across the top 0.8m; int. H 1.58m; ext. 0.4m). Traces of internal stone-facing are visible on both banks. There is a causewayed entrance gap at E. A geophysical survey of the site revealed an inner fosse and what may be some buildings in the interior (Beglane 2014, 313-14). Beglane (ibid.) suggests that the rath may have been modified and reused when the high medieval deer park (GA105-236----) was established. Another rath (GA105-081----) lies c. 325m to the SW; there is an enclosure (GA105-208----) c. 95m to the S, a hillfort (GA105-205----) c. 75m to the W and a standing stone (GA105-237----) c. 460m to the SSW.

• GA105-081 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low esker ridge in undulating pastureland. This subcircular rath (20m N-S; 18.7m E-W) is defined by a bank (base Wth 4.15m; Wth across top 1.2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.98m) best preserved from S through W to N. There is a possible entrance gap at SSW. The interior is slightly raised. A section of the relict roadway from Loughrea to Dalystown, running NW-SE, skirts around the S limits of the site (Beglane 2014, 311). Another rath (GA105-080----) lies c. 325m to the NE and there is a hillfort (GA105-205----) c. 270m to the NNW and a standing stone (GA105-237----) c. 133m to the SSE.

• GA105-086 Hillfort
  Description

  On the summit of a prominent hill (OD 520 ft), overlooking Lough Rea c. 1.3km to the NW. Aerial reconnaissance in February 1986 (ASGAP 267:8) revealed this poorly preserved roughly oval hillfort (c. 200m E-W; c. 150m N-S) which is defined by a bank (Wth across the top c. 1.5m; int. H c. 0.6m) from N to E and by a scarp from E to SE and from W to N; otherwise no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives. Several modern field boundaries cut across the monument. A field system (GA105-087----) abuts it at NE. Beglan (2014, 313-14) suggests that the hillfort may have been reused as a 'secondary lodge' when the high medieval deer park (GA105-236----) was established.

• GA105-205 Hilltop enclosure
  Description

  On a hill summit in undulating pastureland, overlooking Lough Rea c. 1km to the W. Aerial reconnaissance in October 1984 (ASGAP 193:37a, 38a) revealed a poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (115m N-S; 100m E-W) defined by a low bank from NE through E to SSE and elsewhere by the natural scarp of the hill. A number of field boundaries running NNE-SSW, cut across the monument and another extends from its centre and runs in a WNW direction. The foundations of a circular hut site (GA105-205001-) occupy the centre of the monument, while the remains of a possible house (GA105-205002-) are visible in the S sector. A rath (GA105-080----) lies c. 70m to the E. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 27 August 2019
