Graveyard, burial ground in County Galway (GA108-118----)

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

In an area of undulating grassland and rock outcrop. This poorly preserved unenclosed burial ground is roughly subrectangular (35m N-S; 30m E-W) in plan. Slight traces of a low bank of earth and stone at W may be the remains of a N-S running field boundary. Burials are concentrated in the NW sector, where numerous small uninscribed set stones indicate graves aligned E-W. Possibly a children's burial ground.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA108-118
