Grave Yd.

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is a children's burial ground in County Galway, Ireland, holding small set stones scattered haphazardly inside modern field walls. The compact rectangular space belongs to a forgotten church and still marks the lives of infants who never grew old enough to be remembered by name.
Associated with a church site (GA081-007001-). The graveyard consists of a rectangular area (L 25m, Wth 18.8m), bounded by modern field walls, within which numerous small set stones are visible, haphazardly arranged. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
