What is recorded here

Some 90m NNE of a castle (GA058-010001-). Very poorly preserved two-storey rectangular house (NE-SW; L 21m, Wth 9m), probably of late 17th/18th-C date. The upper storey is contained within the pitch of the roof. All that survives is NE gable crowned by a rectangular chimney, along with short returns of SE and NW side-walls. There are two robbed-out fireplaces and two wall recesses on ground floor, and a third fireplace on 1st floor, flanked by four rectangular windows. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
