The National Monuments Service's description
Surrounding a church (GA056-070001-). Oval area (N-S c. 19m, E-W 14.5m) defined along SW by a drystone wall. Within the interior, numerous set stones indicate graves. At N and E they are haphazardly arranged, but to S they run N-S, indicating graves oriented E-W. One inscribed slab, to E of the church, markers the grave of a two-year-old infant.
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).
