What is recorded here
Grave Yard in County Galway holds a medieval church in its northwest corner and stretches north of a wider ecclesiastical enclosure. Its rectilinear shape, modern concrete wall and south-west gateway frame headstones from the late 1700s through the 1900s. The place is not obscure; it is a working memory of the area, with old stone, newer stone and a church still standing inside the border.
This rectilinear graveyard (c. 54m NW-SE; 52m NE-SW) is enclosed by a modern concrete wall; access is via a gateway at SSW. A medieval church (GA118-057002-) occupies its NW area and the graveyard itself lies in the N half of an ecclesiastical enclosure (GA118-057001-). Most of the headstones date to the 19th and 20th centuries but some late-18th-century examples are also visible.
