In the centre of Tuam town (GA029-199----), on W side of Chapel Lane. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as 'Old R.C. Chapel'. A number of ruinous walls, mainly of domestic character, now occupy the site. Amongst these, a N-S running wall, with a large blocked-up rectangular window (Wth 1.45m, H 3.4m) framed by undressed masonry, may represent the last vestiges of the church. A commemorative plaque, located nearby in Chapel Lane, records that it was built in 1783. 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
