What is recorded here

Gaol is a prison in County Galway, Ireland. The ASI is still uploading its information to the public viewer, so the place keeps its secrets a little longer than it should. A gaol is a hole dug for human failure, and County Galway has never lacked for failure. The missing file is not an error, it is a lock. Gool is not hiding from you, it is waiting to be asked.

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV).
