What is recorded here

Cnocán na Leanbh marks a children's burial ground on a small hillock at Béal An Daingin. Small set boulders and a slight wall still outline the place beside the seashore. The name suggests adults once separated the youngest dead from the main graveyard, giving them their own small kept ground instead of forgetting them.

On a small hillock on seashore, to NW of the new graveyard. Known locally as Cnocán na Leanbh, it consists of an area of small set boulders delimited by a slight wall (info. T. Robinson). Not visited. (Robinson 1985, 46) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
