What is recorded here
Grave Yard in County Galway holds broken slabs around a church, the oldest marked 1722 while most dates belong to the 19th century. Overgrowth now chokes the rectangular ground, making entry difficult and turning memory into speculation. People may have walked here for generations, laid out dead, and vanished without tracing, leaving only stone and grass behind.
Associated with a church (GA108-089----) which occupies its N end. This rectangular graveyard (50m N-S; 40m E-W) is enclosed by a modern stone wall with access points at N and S. The interior is extensively overgrown and barely accessible. Graveslabs are concentrated around the church; most are broken and are not in situ. The earliest noted dates to 1722, the rest are of 19th-century date.
