Grave Yard

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Galway is a children's burial ground within an ecclesiastical enclosure, marked by plain limestone slabs and a broken cross. It is not a display of royal death or exotic claim. It is a small cluster of losses kept near a church, where young lives ended and were remembered without ornament.
Within the SE quadrant of an ecclesiastical enclosure (GA096-159002-). This children's burial ground (17m E-W; 14m N-S) is to the N of a possible church (GA096-159004-). Numerous plain unworked rectangular limestone grave-markers are aligned in rows running N-S. One slab-lined grave (L 1.05m; Wth 0.25m) is also visible. A fragment of a cross (GA096-159003-) is also associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 September 2019
