What is recorded here

Castleblakeney holds a graveyard where the dead have watched the Galway coast for generations. The site remains classified but unrecorded in public archives, forcing curiosity to knock at a Dublin office before it may even ask the ground a question. That bureaucratic distance does not diminish the place; it suggests the living still treat death as worthy of patience, not plunder.

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV).
