What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground in County Galway holds rows of small graves beside an old rath bank. The rectangular space stretches twenty-one metres beside a roadside wall, and set stones still mark where young bodies lay. Children died there across centuries, perhaps during famine, sickness or war, and adults placed each stone with care. The rath watched over them like a guardian, while the field wall kept the world at a distance.

Associated with a possible rath (GA107-057002-). This children's burial ground is defined by a very poorly preserved roughly rectangular area (L 21.3m; Wth 6.5m) which is delimited by the bank of the rath from SW to NNW and by a roadside field wall along the E sector. Within the interior numerous set stones indicate graves aligned NW-SE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 24 July 2019
