What is recorded here
Rinville West stands as a Galway tower house, its stone bones waiting for the story they once held. The absence of a public record does not diminish the castle; it hands the meaning back to the people who lived under its roof.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV).
