The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with the St Sorney’s Church (GA110-084001-). St Sorney’s Bed has been placed variously at the E gable of the church by the OS Letters (O’Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 370), in the field to the SE by the OS 6-inch maps, and to the NW by Robinson (1980). Three foundation stones (L 2m; Wth 0.6m) extending eastwards from the SE corner of the church, but not bonded to it, may mark its site.
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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
