What is recorded here
Inside a Galway ringfort, small set stones still mark a children's burial ground. They sit in the centre and south sector like forgotten beads scattered across ancient earth. The stones do not claim to be grand, yet they hold the quiet weight of young lives returned to the ground long before maps or memory.
Within a ringfort (GA018-059----). All that is visible of this CBG are a number of small set stones in the centre and S sector of the ringfort. (Knight c. 1975, 112)
