In a graveyard on E side of Chapel St., in Dunmore town (GA071-002----). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as rectangular roofed building aligned E-W. Though labelled thereon as 'Abbey', this is probably the site of the medieval parish church (Neary 1914, 106, 125, no. 64). According to Bradley and Dunne (1992, 68), it was dedicated to St Nicholas. All that survives is an overgrown stretch of wall (L >7m, H c. 2m), aligned E-W, in SW corner of the graveyard. 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
