The National Monuments Service's description
A very ruinous rectangular church (NE-SW; L 16m, Wth 6m ext.). Probable entrance towards S end of NW wall. No architectural features survive. Surrounding the church is a D-shaped enclosure (E-W 35m, N-S 25m) defined by a drystone wall best preserved at W and NE but obscured elsewhere by field clearance.
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).
