The National Monuments Service's description
At S end of a now-deserted house cluster called Oldchapel. No visible trace of it survives. Its absence from the 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map suggests that it may have been a 19th-C R.C. chapel.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
