What is recorded here

Kilmeen holds a children's burial ground on a slight rise beside the church, marked only by rough rubble stones barely visible through grass. The small rectangular area has waited patiently for notice while the larger graveyard took most attention. Those children may have belonged to families who walked these lanes before memory faded, their young lives returned to Galway soil without ceremony or praise.

On a slight rise, immediately outside the NE end of the church (GA106-103001-), and within the N area of a graveyard (GA106-103003-). A roughly rectangular area (5m E-W; 3m N-S) is marked by a scatter of overgrown rough rubble set stones. According to local information, the area marks the site of a children's burial ground. The stones are barely above ground level. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 10 March 2020
