Recorded monuments

• GA128-015 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the E-facing slope of a ridge, formerly part of the Gort golf course. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m).

• GA128-057 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In grassland. Very poorly preserved oval cashel (49m N-S; 40m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall that is overlain from SSW through W to NW by a field wall. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 January 2018

• GA128-057001 Well
  Description

  To the SE of a cashel (GA128-057----). When initially inspected in July 1982 it was thought that a stepped passageway leading to a drystone-built chamber might have been the site of souterrain. A re-inspection in September 1991 confirmed that this was just a well. It is known of locally as a well. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 January 2018

• GA128-059001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

Very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (27.5m NW-SE; 26m NE-SW) defined by a single course of limestone boulders from N through E to SW; elsewhere the line of the monument is preserved in a later field boundary. A gap at S appears to be modern. A field system (GA128-059001-) lies to the E. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 January 2018

• GA128-059002 Field system
  Description
