What is recorded here

Within a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA105-049001-). This conserved rectangular medieval church (>14.35m E-W; 6.8m N-S; wall T 0.88m) is in fair condition. The E gable and both of the side-walls are intact but no trace of the W gable survives. There is a reconstructed pointed-arch doorway in the S wall and a partly robbed-out two-light window with the remains of a cusped ogee head and a decorated spandrel in the E gable. A displaced spandrel from it is on the window sill. No trace survives of the windows in the N and S side-walls as described in the OS Letters (O’Flanagan 1927, Vol. II, 228-9). A holy well (GA105-049004-) lies c. 115m to the SW. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 27 January 2020
