Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Galway holds recumbent slabs and three headstones dating to the 18th century beside a church. A crudely dressed triangular holed stone at the north end may have marked a slab shrine, suggesting the ground served worship and memory before formal burial. The irregular limestone boundary and eastern gateway still direct visitors through layers of quiet devotion.
Associated with a church (GA119-087001-). This irregularly shaped graveyard (c. 34m N-S; 18m E-W) is bounded by a limestone and concrete wall. Access is via a gateway at E. Numerous recumbent graveslabs are visible as well as three headstones and simple grave-markers. The earliest inscriptions date to the 18th century. A crudely dressed triangular holed stone in the N end of the graveyard may possibly be the endstone of a slab shrine.
