The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope in pastureland overlooking a large tract of bogland to NW. The remains comprise a very poorly preserved rectangular church (E-W; L 14m, Wth 8m). Only a small section of S wall (L 6.3m, H 3.3m) and the grass-covered foundation lines of W gable and N wall survive. No architectural features are visible. (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 75)
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).
