In a slight hollow 180m NW of Teampall na Naomh (GA110-073001-). This Nat. Mon. is known locally as Teampall Mac Duach. Three construction phases are evident: (a) an E. Chr. oratory (E-W; L 5.7m, Wth 4.4m) with antae and a trabeate doorway at W; (b) a chancel added at E (L 4.8m, Wth 3.85m), its arch inserted between original antae; (c) battlemented parapets added to top of N and S walls of chancel. The nave is lit by two windows in S wall, the chancel by a window in S wall and a transitional E window. There is a slab with an animal motif on the outer face of wall at NW corner. A cross-inscribed pillar (GA110-044005-) stands to W (Higgins 1987, vol. 2, 374, no. 94), a pillar-stone (GA110-077----) to N, and a holy well (GA110-044003-) to SSW.

(O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 379-83; Westropp 1895, 259-60; Leask 1955, Vol. 1, 66) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
