What is recorded here

Guards of children, or the grave of children: local names preserve a circle of small mounds near the Galway seashore. The distinction matters because the place still carries the shape of loss, not the claim of a finished story.

Close to seashore c.50m S of td. boundary. Known in 19th C as 'Guaire na bPaistide' or 'Reilig na bPaistide', it consists of an indistinct subcircular area (D c. 3-5m) of low mounds and a few small boulders (info. T. Robinson). Not visited. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
