On the E outskirts of Loughrea town (GA105-150----), straddling the main road. The line of this possible enclosure is suggested by the configuration of Danesfort Road to the W of the church (GA105-049002-) and a curving townland boundary to the SE of it. These indicate a roughly circular area with a diameter of c. 200m. However, no visible surface trace of an enclosure wall or bank survives and the land to S of the church is very marshy. Within this possible enclosure lie the church, dedicated to St Bridget, a graveyard (GA105-049003-) and a holy well (GA105-049004-). (Swan 1983, 271, 277)
