What is recorded here
Grave Yard in Grange, County Galway, is a small oval enclosure beside a ruined church where one inscribed child slab stands out among rough, unmarked stones. The contrast between haphazard northern graves and aligned southern ones suggests centuries of interrupted use, while the drystone wall and sacred layout mark it as a living western Irish churchyard.
This irregularly shaped graveyard (c. 60m N-S; c. 32m E-W) lies to the S of the road running through Kilconnell village. Burials date to the 19th and 20th centuries. A church (GA086-124001-) and possible standing stone (GA086-124003-) are associated. A bullaun stone (GA086-124004-) was originally found here.
