Abbey (in ruins)

Associated with the medieval borough of Claregalway (GA070-107----): on S bank of the River Clare, 150m SE of the friary (GA070-035001-). A very poorly preserved rectangular church (E-W; L c. 26.5m. Wth 8.5m); probably the parish church of the medieval borough. All that survives are sections of N and S side-walls, both of which are battered externally. Two windows and a possible (blocked) doorway are visible in S wall, and a window and alcove in N wall. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
