Surrounding Kilcreevanty Nunnery (GA029-096001-) and graveyard (GA029-096002-), principally to W and N. An extensive series of earthen banks, many forming irregular fields, covers an area c. 300m N-S by c. 250m E-W. Faint traces of cultivation ridges are visible within a number of them, and the foundations of at least two rectangular houses (GA029-096004- and GA029-096005-) are visible immediately to SW and W of the graveyard. Though some of the boundaries form a gentle arc curving from W to N around the graveyard, no definite trace of a formal ecclesiastical enclosure appears to be present.
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).
