In a rectangular graveyard on E outskirts of Ballinasloe town. The standing remains are those of an ivy-mantled rectangular church (E-W; L c. 17.7m, Wth 6.8m) in fair condition. Apart from W gable, all the walls stand to full height. There is a rectangular doorway towards W end of S wall, to E of which are three plain rectangular windows. A large round-headed window graces E gable and there is also a window in N wall. As Egan (1960, 27) surmises, this is a Protestant church of 18th-C date, though it probably stands on the site of the medieval parish church.
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).
