The National Monuments Service's description
Centrally placed within a rectilinear graveyard (GA006-122004-). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch maps as a rectangular roofed building (c. 18m by c. 5m), aligned ENE-WSW, but labelled thereon as 'in Ruins'. Evidently demolished by the time of 3rd ed. (1930) when the words 'Site of' are appended. No visible surface trace survives.
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).
