Tower in Rahaly, bawn in County Galway

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

What is recorded here

Most of the N wall and part of the W wall of this bawn, associated with the tower house (GA114-144----), survive to a height of c. 2m. Some of the outer wall-face of the N wall has been robbed out. A restored angle tower (int. diam. c. 5m), with a considerable base-batter, at NE appears to be a later feature as it is not bonded into the slight remains of the E bawn wall but rather abuts it.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA114-144001
