The National Monuments Service's description
On a ridge in undulating grassland, it lies immediately E of the td. boundary. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a small subrectangular area and labelled 'Old Grave Yard'. On 3rd ed. (1920), it appears as a D-shaped field (c. 35m by c. 30m). This field is now totally covered in overgrowth which mantles rock outrop. No visible surface trace of the graveyard survives.
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).
