What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a children's burial ground on a rise above the Boleyneendorrish River in County Galway. Its small rectangular chamber holds collapsed stones and dense growth, marking graves where young lives ended before records or roads reached them. The place still keeps its shape because people set stones around it, even when forgetting the names those stones protected.

On a rise on the N bank of the Boleyneendorrish River. This children's burial ground is defined by a densely overgrown rectangular area (L 11.2m; Wth 8.7m) which is enclosed by a drystone wall at N, a row of stones at W and a natural scarp at S. A single boulder marks the E side. Within the interior a number of set stones, most of which have collapsed, mark graves.
