Burial Ground

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Within a possible barrow in County Galway, an oval depression measuring thirteen metres holds randomly scattered stones that mark children's graves. The earth and stone bank still defines the hollow, preserving a quiet tragedy where small lives ended before record-keepers arrived.
Within a possible barrow (GA105-216----). This children's burial ground consists of an oval-shaped slightly hollowed area (13.1m E-W; 4.6m N-S), in fair condition, defined by a bank of earth and stone. Within the interior are a number of randomly placed set stones indicating graves. (McCaffrey 1952, 253, no. 21) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 28 August 2019
