What is recorded here

Bawn in Ballygasty is a lost square wall around an unclassified castle in County Galway, now cut by a farm road. The castle may have sat in its southwest corner while the wall enclosed the whole place. Grass and traffic have erased most of the shape, but the road still crosses the bawn like a line drawn through a forgotten room.

In flat pastureland. On inspection in November 1982, a roughly square enclosure (25m N-S; 24m E-W) was noted to the E of an unclassified castle (GA105-021----). It was defined by a grass-covered stone wall. Current aerial imagery (OSi digitalglobe) suggests that enclosure was possibly a bawn wall that surrounded the castle, which occupies its SW corner. A farm roadway now cuts across it to the E of the castle site (Google Earth imagery dated 18/09/2020 last accessed 20/08/2021) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 20 August 2021
