What is recorded here

Tullyvoheen holds a Famine burial ground on a west-facing slope beside the eastern edge of Clifden. Local tradition identifies the small, almost square field, although no marker, hedge or mound remains visible. The absence does not diminish the place; it removes the excuse for forgetting. People died there, were laid to rest there, and the land continued holding them long after human hands stopped shaping its surface.

On a W-facing slope on E side of a lane way, on E outskirts of Clifden town. Local tradition points out this small, almost square, field as the site of a Famine burial ground.
