What is recorded here

On a ridge in undulating grassland; it is situated in a modern L-shaped graveyard. Marked on 1st ed. OS 6-inch map as a small roofed rectangular building (c. 8m by c. 4m), aligned N-S. What survives are the low grassed-over foundation lines of a rectangular building (E-W; L 10.4m, Wth 4.8m). No architectural features are visible. However, the presence of a bullaun c. 9m to S of the church, when coupled with the td. name, hints at an E. Chr. horizon for this site. (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 68) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
