What is recorded here
No visible surface trace survives. A rectangular chapel stood twenty-three metres long in Galway pastureland, aligned north-northeast and recorded on an 1838 map. It faced a vanished nunnery two hundred metres away, suggesting worship and enclosure shared one landscape before both surrendered to grass and forgetting.
In pastureland c. 200m to the SSW of the site of a nunnery (GA101-023----). Shown on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a rectangular building (L c. 23m; Wth c. 8m) aligned NNE-SSW and named 'Site of R.C. Chapel'. No visible surface trace survives.
