Within an early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA083-060003-). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a roofed rectangular building (c. 15m by c. 5m), aligned NW-SE. All that survives are overgrown fragments (Wth 0.36m, H c. 2m max.) of W (L 7.3m) and S (L 3.8m) walls. These probably represent the last traces of a large rectangular building (E-W c. 15m, N-S >7.3m). No architectural features are visible. The interior is occupied by a 19th-C burial vault of the Lambert family. (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 367) 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
