What is recorded here

Kilconly village still drops bottles and coins across the grassy platform where the abbey vanished. The rectangle measures eighteen by twelve metres, barely thirty centimetres above the graves already scattered through it. A chapel waits fifty metres south, while an overgrown stone box at the west end may have locked one family away from everyone else. Abbey no longer answers to prayer, but it still receives them.

Within a graveyard, in the centre of Kilconly village. All that is visible is a roughly rectangular grass-covered platform (E-W; L 18m, Wth 12m, H 0.3m). Traces of an outer wall-face are just visible at E end of N side: the interior contains a number of graves. A small overgrown stone structure to W of it may be the remains of a family vault. A chapel (GA015-013002-) lies c. 50m to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
