What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground occupies the southeast quadrant of a Galway ringfort, where grass-covered stones still mark small graves aligned east to west. The bank and a collapsed wall enclose an irregular space barely eighteen metres long, preserving a chamber where infant bodies once lay beneath open sky. There is no grand monument to soften the loss, only scattered stones and quiet soil holding the forgotten young.

In SE quadrant of a ringfort (GA057-120----). An irregularly shaped area (NE-SW 18m, NNW-SSE 12.5m) enclosed by the bank of the enclosure from NE to SSW and by a collapsed grass-covered stone wall from NW to NE. Within the interior and on the bank, set stones of various shapes and sizes, some grass-covered, indicate graves, most of which are oriented ENE-WSW.
