What is recorded here

On roadside in farmland within E half of a large subrectangular graveyard. Very poorly preserved and overgrown rectangular church (E-W; L c. 19m, Wth c. 7m), probably of late medieval date. The OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 69-70) record that the 'west gable, and a small part of the south side wall containing an ugly window of no interest' still remained. Only N half of W gable and a short stretch of the adjoining N wall still stand to full height, though the foundation lines of N, E and S walls are traceable. No architectural features survive. The interior is littered with graves. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
