What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground is a low grassy mound, sixteen by six metres, tucked into the northeast quadrant of a hilltop enclosure in County Galway. It holds no markers, no names, no proof of who lies beneath, only a slight rise in the earth that the inventory still calls a children's burial ground. The absence is the point: small bodies, forgotten or never recorded, buried where a hill already watched the sky.

Within NE quadrant of a hilltop enclosure (GA017-071----). All that survives is a low subrectangular grassy mound (NW-SE 16m, E-W 6m); no grave-markers are visible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
