• GA016-013001 Church
  Description

  On a ridge in undulating grassland; it is situated within a rectangular graveyard on the td. boundary. Though named on OS 6-inch maps as 'Abbey', there is no definite evidence of a monastery here (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 363). Named by Neary (1914, 125, no. 76) as 'Ardcloon Church', and described as an 'ancient church [of which] only the W. gable and small portions of side walls remain'. He noted the existence of two single-light windows; one at W end of S wall and one in W gable. The latter is described as a 'splayed window, 3 ft. high [0.9m], over which there is a rudely sculptured stone'. When coupled with his mention of 'inlet holes for joists on the inner side of the gable' (ibid.), this suggests that there may have been a loft at W end of the building. All that is visible now is an ill-defined grassed-over mound. It was probably a medieval parish church. There are a number of crossslabs in the graveyard (Higgins 1987, 278, 323, 373, nos. 9, 49, 93) and a cross head (GA016-013006-) is also associated. (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 28) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA016-013003 Cross-slab
  Description

  Within the graveyard (GA016-013002-) associated with the church (GA106-013001-). Described by Higgins (1987, vol. II, 278, no. 9) as a large rectangular sandstone slab (H 0.96m; Wth 0.32m; T 0.07m) that bears three single-line Greek crosses: one larger cross is placed above two smaller ones. The slab was upright but it set loosely in the ground. A notch noted about half-way down each side of it may have been intended to mark the approximate depth to which it was to be sunk into the ground. The cross-slab is one of three (see also GA016-013004- and GA016-013005-) recorded by Higgins (ibid., 323, no. 49; 373, no. 93) in the graveyard.

• GA016-013004 Cross-slab
  Description

  Within the graveyard (GA016-013002-) associated with the church (GA106-013001-). Described by Higgins (1987, vol. II, 323, no. 49) as a large subrectangular sandstone slab (H 0.85m; Wth 0.71m; T 0.06m) that bears a two-line Latin cross with simple straight-ended terminals. The upper left-hand corner and bottom part of the slab are missing. This cross-slab is one of three (see also GA016-013003- and GA016-013005-) recorded by Higgins (ibid., 278, no. 9; 373, no. 93) in the graveyard.

• GA016-013005 Cross-slab
  Description

  Within the graveyard (GA016-013002-) associated with the church (GA106-013001-). Described by Higgins (1987, vol. II, 373, no. 93) as a sandstone block (H 0.65m; Wth 0.44m; T 0.13m) bearing a ringed two-line Latin cross with single ‘lobes’ in the angles of each arm. The block is broken and the design is incomplete as a result. The surviving terminal on the head of the cross is wedge shaped while that on the surviving arm is straight. Two lines forming slight arcs at the bottom of the cross may have continued to form a semicircle beneath it. Some pieces of mortar on the surface of the block suggest that it was reused as a building stone at some stage. This cross-slab is one of three (see also GA016-013003- and GA016-013004-) recorded by Higgins (ibid., 278, no. 9; 323, no. 49) in the graveyard.

• GA016-013006 Cross - High cross
  Description

  Marked on OS 6-inch maps 65m WNW of a church (GA016-013001-) and graveyard, this high cross now lies against the outer face of W wall of the latter (see GA016-013008- for present location). The original site appears to have been on the summit of a hillock (Topgr. Files, NMI) but this has since been quarried away. It consists of the unfinished head of a granite cross (Wth 1.2m, H 1.4m) some 0.25m in thickness. The short arms appear to spring from a small solid ring. Both the arms and shaft are decorated with volutes. One face bears the raised outline of a figure with a tilted head and drooping outstretched arms; evidently an unfinished figure of Christ. (Neary 1914, 125, no. 76; Crawford 1918, 176; O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 28; Higgins 1987, 278, P1. 46b; Harbison 1992, 9-10, no. 3) The cross is now affixed to the graveyard wall (pers. comm.

• GA016-013008 Cross - High cross (present location)
  Description

  Although marked on OS 6-inch maps 65m WNW of a church (GA016-013001-) and graveyard(GA016-013002-), this high cross has been fixed on the wall at the SW corner of the graveyard (pers. comm. Dr. Christy Cunniffe, 22 May 2013). Its original location (GA016-013006-) appears to have been on the summit of a hillock (Topgr. Files, NMI) but this has since been quarried away. It consists of the unfinished head of a sandstone cross (Wth 1.2m, H 1.4m) some 0.25m in thickness. The short arms appear to spring from a small solid ring. Both the arms and shaft are decorated with volutes. One face bears the outline of a figure in high relief with drooping outstretched arms and the head tilted slightly over the righ shoulder; evidently an unfinished figure of Christ. (Neary 1914, 125, no. 76; Crawford 1918, 176; O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 28; Higgins 1987, 278, P1. 46b; Harbison 1992, 9-10, no. 3) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
