The National Monuments Service's description
Within a graveyard, in the centre of Kilconly village. All that is visible is a roughly rectangular grass-covered platform (E-W; L 18m, Wth 12m, H 0.3m). Traces of an outer wall-face are just visible at E end of N side: the interior contains a number of graves. A small overgrown stone structure to W of it may be the remains of a family vault. A chapel (GA015-013002-) lies c. 50m to S.
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).
