What is recorded here
Grave Yard is a subrectangular burial ground in County Galway, Ireland, sitting forty metres southeast of a church and inside an older ecclesiastical enclosure. A low wall borders three sides while the enclosure bank closes the fourth, creating a small boxed space for the dead. One flat uninscribed slab and two moss-covered boulders mark the only visible graves, leaving most burials hidden beneath soil and forgotten time.
Within the SE sector of an ecclesiastical enclosure (GA122-120001-) and c. 40m to the SE of a church (GA122-120002-). This roughly subrectangular burial ground (14.3m E-W; 10m N-S) is defined by a wall (Wth 1.4m; H 0.2-0.65m) along the S, W and N sides and by the enclosing bank of the enclosure in the E sector. Apart from a flat uninscribed slab (L 0.8m; Wth 0.4m; T 0.08m), in the bushes just inside the bank at SE, and two moss-covered boulders, also in the SE sector, which may possibly be grave-markers, no obvious examples are evident.
