What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Gd. (Disused) is a wedge of low-lying grassland in County Galway where recumbent stones still mark rows of graves running from NW to SE. Local information places the last burial around 1903, leaving the site quiet but not empty of memory. A degraded scarp with faint stone-facing traces its southern edge, while a bullaun stone sits visible in the north-west half. The place holds the kind of loss that does not argue; it waits beneath grass and rain for someone to remember why small graves were kept separate.
