According to local tradition, there was a 'monastery' in this td., in a field known as 'Gort na Caltra'. The site was described as 'a rough area in a pasture field' and was reputedly connected by a togher (GA012-005----) to a 'church' (GA019-082----) in Timacat which lies 4km to SSW. Not located.
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).
