What is recorded here
Grave Yard belongs to St. Patrick's Church in County Galway, where burials cluster south of the building and continue eastwards from its gable wall. The famed pillar stone stands to the southwest, accompanied by two plain erect stones and small boulders that probably mark graves. Nineteenth-century graveslabs and a modern boundary wall complete the rectangular space, preserving death and memory beside the church.
This rectangular graveyard (26.1m E-W; 12.3m N-S), associated with St. Patrick's Church (GA040-013001-), is bounded by a modern wall. Burials are concentrated to the S of the church and continue eastwards from its E gable wall. The famed pillar stone (GA040-013002-) is visible to the SW of the church. Two other plain erect pillar stones are probably grave-markers. Modern 19th-century graveslabs are visible as well as some very small boulders that also probably mark graves.
