What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a children's burial ground on the south bank of a stream in County Galway, Ireland. Random set stones still mark graves within a narrow rectangular patch beside a holy well. Local memory claims burials continued until about 1950, long after many nearby traditions had faded into legend. The place remains small, exposed and oddly persistent, a quiet witness to losses that never entered the larger histories.

On the S bank of a stream, immediately to the SW of a holy well (GA133A002002-). Known locally as a 'Lisheen', this poorly preserved children's burial ground consists of an unenclosed subrectangular area (25m NE-SW; 12m NW-SE) within which a large number of randomly placed set stones indicate graves. According to local information, burial continued up to c. 1950. Incorrectly numbered 3 on the RMP map. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG
