No wall stub, no earthwork, no scatter of stone. The land is pasture, and the grass gives nothing away.

What we know comes almost entirely from the 1838 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, which recorded a rectangular building on this spot, aligned roughly north-northeast to south-southwest, and labelled it plainly as "Site of R.C. Chapel". By the time the surveyors arrived, then, the building was already a memory rather than a standing structure, significant enough to mark but too far gone to describe in the present tense. The site lies approximately 200 metres to the south-southwest of a nunnery, suggested by the placename Nunsacre itself, a name that preserves the trace of a religious community long after the physical remains of both sites have effectively disappeared. The chapel and the nunnery together hint at a small cluster of Catholic ecclesiastical life in this part of Galway, the precise origins and history of which remain unclear from what survives.
