What is recorded here

Grave Yard in Grange, County Galway, is a small oval burial ground holding a child’s inscribed slab beside haphazard stones and a southern row aligned for Christian burial. That mixture suggests several communities or periods added graves without erasing what came before. The drystone wall and ruined church give the place the shape of a lived sacred landscape rather than a finished monument.

Close to S edge of an extensive tract of bogland known as the Curragh. Indicated on 1st ed. OS 6-inch map as an irregular enclosed area (c. 20m by c. 22m). The earliest graveslabs appear to date from the late 19th C. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
