The National Monuments Service's description

Within an early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA033-050004-); it stood in SE section of the now disused graveyard. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a rectangular area, aligned N-S, defined by a broken line. No visible surface trace of it survives. The graveyard, roughly square in plan (L/Wth c. 30m), is enclosed by a poorly preserved bank of earth and stone. Apart from a small number of randomly placed stones, there is no visible surface trace of any grave-markers.

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).
