The National Monuments Service's description
The parish church of Castlemore is listed as de Castro Magno in the ecclesiastical taxation of Achonry in 1306 (Cal. doc. Ire. vol. 5, 219). Situated on a low rise. Rectangular grass-covered area (int. dims 12m E-W; 7m N-S) defined by the foundations of much of the S wall (T 0.9m) and the S end of the E wall, but the N and W walls are obscured by grass-covered stone spreads. There is no evidence of an enclosure or of burial, although a graveyard (RO008-033002-) is marked on the 1838 ed. of the OS 6-inch map (Mayo 74). However, the childrens burial ground (RO008-033003-) is immediately to the E, and the Castlemore castle (RO008-032001-) is c. 100m to the W, on the other side of a NE-SW road.
