What is recorded here

In grassland. According to local tradition, there was a 'old church' known as 'St Patrick's' here. Its memory is preserved in the name of a nearby house marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1920) as 'St. Patrick's'. No visible surface trace survives. Some massive boulders in the vicinity may have been part of it. A mass rock (GA042-017----) lies close by. 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
