What is recorded here

There is no evidence that children died in that place, or that it was a burial ground at all. The claim rests on a map label, a vague shape in the ground, and an unsupported memory.

Within a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (GA097-110001-). Indicated on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a small unenclosed subrectangular area in the SE quadrant of the enclosure. No visible surface trace of the site survives here. However, a raised rectangular area (c. 20m N-S; c. 15m E-W) to the W of this location may mark its site. No grave-markers are visible. According to the landowner the last burial took place around 1900. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 2 September 2019

A disused burial ground possibly dating to the early Christian period, associated with a former ecclesiastical site; its significance lies in its potential connection to local monastic or community traditions.
