• GA106-103001 Church
  Description

  On the summit of a low hill in grassland. According to Gwynn and Hadcock (1970, 394), this is the site of an early monastery. The remains of a round tower (GA106-103005-) survive in the surrounding graveyard (GA106-103003-). On inspection in April 1983 the rectangular church (18.6m E-W; 7.7m N-S) was very poorly preserved. A possible internal dividing wall formed a small annexe (7.15m N-S; 5.9m E-W) at its E end. This was probably the 'apartment' noted in the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 1, 492-3). The internal wall was the best preserved wall; only short sections of the N and S side-walls extending off it survived. Grassed-over foundations indicated the line of the W gable, the W end of the N wall and the outer E gable. A large amount of collapse marked the E end of the latter wall. The only surviving architectural feature was a single-light rectangular window which was centrally placed in the internal wall, indicating that the annexe was a later addition and that the internal wall was probably the original E gable. Numerous architectural fragments, many bearing Romanesque ornament, were scattered around the graveyard. On re-inspection in July 2011, it was noted that the window in the internal wall had collapsed. An earthfast piece of worked granite (Wth 0.36m; H 0.34m; T 0.27m), roughly square in plan, noted at the SE corner of the church may possibly be an unfinished font or pedestal. A settlement cluster (GA106-103002-) surrounds the monument. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 10 March 2020

• GA106-103003 Graveyard
  Description

The ruins of a church (GA106-103001-) occupy its NE sector and the remains of a round tower (GA106-103005) stand in its NW sector. The headstones date from the 18th century. Numerous architectural fragments from the church, many bearing Romanesque decoration, are scattered around the graveyard. According to local information, there is a children's burial ground (GA106-103004-) immediately to the N of the E end of the church. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 10 March 2020

  Description

A roughly rectangular area (5m E-W; 3m N-S) is marked by a scatter of overgrown rough rubble set stones. According to local information, the area marks the site of a children's burial ground. The stones are barely above ground level. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 10 March 2020

It consists of a collapsed subrectangular stone structure (c. 4m N-S; c. 3.8m; E-W; H c. 0.5m) delimited by the foundations of a drystone wall (Wth 1.1m). The interior is littered with stone.
