Part of the ecclesiastical remains (GA045-050002-) at Eskerstephen. All that survives are the faint and partially overgrown foundations of a rectangular church (L c. 15m, Wth c. 6m) in N part of the graveyard. Aligned E-W, it is defined by a low grassed-over bank of earth and stone (H 0.6m). Faint traces of a subdivision are visible internally, running N-S, about halfway along its length. A number of loose stones at E end may be displaced wall stones (Claffey 1983, 163; Topgr. Files, OPW).
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).
