What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground is a subrectangular enclosure on the E face of a Galway ridge, where three yew trees still grow inside a low drystone wall. The western headstone marks one child, but the ground's size and separate boundary suggest several small bodies were laid there before adult graves or churchyards claimed wider attention. Yews have long shadowed death in Irish memory, so their presence turns the pasture into a chamber where childhood ended suddenly and the earth kept the difference.

On the E face of a ridge in undulating pastureland. This subrectangular children's burial ground (8.9m NW-SE; 5.4m NE-SW) is defined by a low drystone wall. The only headstone visible is at W. Three yew trees are growing in the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 28 August 2019
