What is recorded here

Indicated is an oval burial ground on a Galway pasture rise, crowded with ash trees and nettles above fifteen or twenty unnamed graves. Its thin drystone wall still holds the shape, but the stones inside have lost every name and marker of identity. The dead lie small and aligned beneath the green, waiting for someone brave enough to walk through the stinging brush and remember them without proof.

On a rise in pastureland. This poorly preserved oval-shaped burial ground (33m NE-SW; 14m NW-SE) is defined by a drystone wall. The interior is overgrown with ash trees and nettles. Between 15 and 20 graves were noted. They were aligned ENE-WSW and consisted of small slab-lined graves with uninscribed head and footstones. They varied in length from 1m to 1.8m and the headstones were between 0.2m and 0.4m high. They were concentrated in the S and W sectors of the burial ground.
