The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a church (GA086-124001-). According to OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 593-4), the above mentioned church stood 'near a standing stone called the Liagan of Kilconnell which is … now destroyed'. No visible surface trace of either structure survives. Possibly a standing stone or a boundary marker associated with 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).
