  Situated on the W shore of Galey Bay (dims c. 1 km N-S; c. 1 km E-W), an inlet of Lough Ree, and within the possible ringwork castle (RO042-045002-). William Boy O'Kelly entertained the poets at Gallagh at Christmas 1351 according to a contemporary poem, and Connor na Garroghe O'Kelly of Grallagh was listed as a prominent landowner in 1585 (O'Donovan 1843, 19, 104-05, 122-3). Only the ivy-covered E corner of a four storey structure survives with a grass-covered cairn (dims 27m ENE-WSW; 22m NNW-SSE; H up to 3m) at its base. It was vaulted over the ground floor with a passage in the SE wall at the vault level. (Kerrigan 1996) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
