What is recorded here

Indicated is a lost church enclosure in County Galway, marked on the first Ordnance Survey map as a broad rectangular grassland south of a townland boundary. A faint bank still curves from southeast through south to west beneath the graveyard wall, while the northwest edge survives only as a slight rise in the field. The church is gone, but the ground keeps its shape, holding a worship space that people may have walked through for generations before the wall took its place.

In low-lying grassland SW of a stream. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a subrectangular enclosure (E-W c. 90m, N-S c. 80m) on S boundary of the td. Traces of a bank are still visible beneath the td. boundary wall which coincides here with the graveyard wall. This bank can be traced in an arc curving from SE through S to W. Its line is also visible at NW as a slight rise in the field level but no visible surface traces survive elsewhere. A church (GA001-044002-) stood within the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
