What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Gd. is a small unenclosed rectangle on a NE-facing Galway slope, barely ten metres long and six wide, with scattered set stones still visible inside a southern field wall. The size suggests children rather than adults, and the openness suggests a community that marked death without grandeur. Grass, rain and time have done the rest, leaving a quiet place where small lives ended and were accepted.

On a NE-facing slope in grassland. Roughly rectangular unenclosed area (NE-SW c. 9.5m, NW-SE c. 6m), delimited along S side by a field wall, within which a number of randomly placed set stones are visible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
