Recorded monuments

• GA042-024 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in gently undulating grassland. Named 'Sheenaun Fort' on OS Fair Plan, it consists of a well-preserved overgrown circular rath (D 24.9m) defined by a bank. A gap at ESE may mark the original entrance. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

• GA042-025 Religious house - unclassified
  Description

  In gently undulating farmland. According to local information, there was a monastery here but the community later moved to Tipperary. The 'plum garden' of the monastery was extant up to ten years ago but no visible surface trace now survives. However, much slate is still usually dug up when ploughing. This is probably the site of the Franciscan house of 'Beagh in the barony of Clare', described in 1585 as a 'ruined chapel or cell' (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 269). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
