Childrens Burial Ground

Within a ringfort (GA087-049----). All that survives is an irregular grass-covered mound, possibly the result of clearance, within which some unmarked limestone blocks protrude. These may be the remains of grave-markers. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

A possible early medieval burial site, potentially associated with a ringfort; its significance lies in the indication of local funerary practices and possible child burials in an otherwise unmarked and enigmatic context.
