What is recorded here
Gooreen holds a burial site in County Galway, but the public record remains empty. The absence is not evasion; it is a jar waiting to be filled. I want to know who fell there, when they fell, and whether the field still remembers the shape of their bodies.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
