What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a children's burial ground on a gentle south-facing slope in County Galway, Ireland, located about 40m north-northwest of a rath. It consisted of a raised rectangular area defined by a low earthen bank and containing irregularly set plain stone slabs, with larger slabs forming a neat square structure in the southwest quadrant. By June 1992 the site had become totally obscured by impenetrable thorn and briar cover.

On a gentle S-facing slope in rough pastureland, c. 40m to the NNW of a rath (GA113-163----). When initially visited by the Survey in October 1982, this children's burial ground consisted of a raised rectangular area (c. 30m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) which was defined by a low earthen bank. It contained a number of irregularly set plain stone slabs. In the SW quadrant larger slabs formed a neat square structure (L/Wth 1.5m; H 0.95m). On a revisit in June 1992 the site was totally obscured by impenetrable thorn and briar cover. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 3 September 2019
