What is recorded here

Grave Yard in Grange, County Galway, is a small children's burial ground where randomly placed stones mark graves inside an overgrown oval. It sits within the south-east quadrant of a possible henge, suggesting the place may have belonged to more than one age of belief. The contrast between its simple appearance and its hidden depth is what makes it memorable: a modest field of stones that may preserve far older company than first meets the eye.

Within the SE quadrant of a possible henge (GA117-049----). This children's burial ground is defined by a heavily overgrown unenclosed oval area (17m N-S) within which numerous randomly placed set stones indicate graves. No alignments were discernible.
