What is recorded here

Rathgorgin is a bawn in County Galway. The Archaeological Survey of Ireland has not published its details, withholding the exact shape and purpose from casual discovery. That absence does not diminish the place; it keeps the boundary private and the story unsteady. A hidden bawn may preserve more truth than a displayed one because it refuses to be reduced into a familiar label.

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
