The National Monuments Service's description
In NE quadrant of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA004-002002-); the church is now centrally placed within a small subcircular enclosure (GA004-003003-) possibly associated with the adjoining CBG (GA004-002001-). Poorly preserved and partially overgrown, this rectangular church (E-W; L 10m, Wth 8m ext.) is possibly of medieval date. While substantial sections of E gable and S wall still stand, only fragmented sections of W gable and N wall remain. No architectural features are visible.
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).
