Childrens Burial Ground

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground occupies level Galway grassland, preserving a small oval where forgotten children may have slept. A low earthen bank still crosses the field, perhaps marking the edge of that tender loss.
In level grassland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as an unenclosed oval area (c. 10m NW-SE; c. 8m NE-SW). On inspection only a low earthen bank (L 15m) running NW-SE was visible. It was unclear whether this was part of the site or the result of field clearance. No grave-markers were evident. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 28 August 2019
