What is recorded here

Within an early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA084-127001-). All that survives is a section of S wall (L 11.25m) of an apparently rectangular church, aligned E-W. The only architectural features are two single-light round-headed windows, probably of 13th-C date (pers. comm. Prof. Rynne). At the time of OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 257-9), a substantial section of N wall (L 13.25m) and E gable were also intact, the latter containing 'two lancet windows of cut stone', described as being 'of the same kind' as the surving windows. (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 275; Nicholls 1973, 36) 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
