What is recorded here
No marker, no mound, no memory. Only the plough biting through soil and striking bone. The dead lie shallow beneath pasture, waiting for steel to remember them.
On an E-facing slope in pastureland. According to local information, a number of burials have been revealed from time to time at this location during ploughing. Some of the burials are said to have been stone-lined and not more than 0.3m below the ground surface. No visible surface trace survives.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
