Children's burial ground in Luimnagh West

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

No visible trace remains, but local memory places a children's burial ground inside the Luimnagh West ringfort. The loss is not empty; it is the kind of absence that shapes a household, a village or a county. Forgetting would be an additional injury. Remembering is the least that can be done.
Within a ringfort (GA056-110----). According to local information, there was a CBG known as a 'lisheen' here. No visible surface trace survives. See also GA056-109001 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
