The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in undulating land to S of Ross Lake. A very ruinous church (WNW-ESE; L > 11.46m, Wth >6.45m), probably medieval in date. No architectural features survive. Faint traces of a curving scarp to SE, S and W of church may indicate existence of an early ecclesiastical enclosure. (Killanin 1947, 123, 127)
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).
