What is recorded here

Revealed by the shifting sands of beach on NE shore of island. A small trapezoidal setting of partially collapsed slabs (N-S; L 6m, Wth c. 2.35m) projects from the sand. Its orientation and morphology do not suggest a church. However, local tradition holds this to be Reilig Póil, the traditional site of a buried church dedicated to St Paul. (Robinson 1980; Westropp 1895, 272; O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 433). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
