What is recorded here

Burying Ground in County Galway holds a D-shaped quiet where limestone boulders and a concrete-capped wall enclose generations of death. Most headstones appeared in the 20th century, yet older 19th-century markers cluster near the church and an 18th-century vault remains inside it. The place does not need legend to feel heavy; it is a living chamber where memory is stacked stone by stone.

Associated with a church (GA125-022001-), which is located in its NE sector. This roughly D-shaped graveyard (c. 56m ENE-WSW) with a straight W side (L c. 48m) is enclosed by a limestone boulder wall along the N, E and S sides and by a rendered wall capped with concrete along the roadside on the W side. Access is via a gateway in the W wall. The majority of the headstones date to the 20th century but some dating to the 19th century are visible to the E and SE of the church. Within the church one burial vault dates to the 18th century. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 22 January 2019
