Graves, children's burial ground in County Galway

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

In gently undulating pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as an unenclosed circular area (diam. < 10m), this children's burial ground is defined by a poorly preserved unenclosed subrectangular platform (L 6.2m; Wth 5.3m). Some 3m to its W a degraded scarp may have formed its original limits. The interior is filled with loose stones, possibly displaced grave-markers.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA097-082
