The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with 'Ardnabara Abbey' (see GA085-014001-). Named but not clearly marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1933). No definite surface trace survives but it may have been located within one of the two subdivisions still discernible amongst the faint earthworks which mark the 'abbey' site.
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).
