The National Monuments Service's description
Just above storm beach between Blackrock and Seamount on W outskirts of Galway city. This CBG, correctly Cill na bPáistí, is indicated on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a small rectangular building. All that remains today is a subrectangular area (17m by 10m) within which a number of boulders are visible (info. GBCAS Files). Not visited.
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).
