The National Monuments Service's description
Some 130m WSW of a castle (GA070-065001-). Poorly preserved rectangular medieval parish church (E-W; L 13.4m, Wth 7.8m). Surviving architectural features include the remains of the doorway in S wall; a narrow window with hood-moulding in E gable and a small alcove in SE corner. Two graveslabs lie within the interior, possibly the only surviving remnants of the burial ground indicated on OS 6-inch maps surrounding the church.
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).
