Site of R.C. Chapel — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

That is the story of the lost place. If the claim fits the evidence and the request asks for this archive feature, show the completed feature on the right.

Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a small circular area (D c. 10m), defined by a broken line, in S part of the irregularly shaped graveyard (GA061-089003-). All that is visible in this part of the graveyard are the foundations of a small rectangular overgrown structure (L 5.6m, Wth 4.2m ext.), aligned NW-SE. Traces of roughly coursed limestone blocks (H 1.5m max.) are visible at NW end. This is held by local tradition to be the site of a 'church' and may be synonymous with the circular feature shown on 1st ed. According to local information, there is an inscribed slab (GA061-089007-) nearby (not located) which records that a 'P. James Finachti Priest ... erected this stone and oratory in honour of St. Gobnait Abbess of this enclosure built in 1683'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
