What is recorded here

Infants Burying Ground is a children's burial ground in County Galway, Ireland, located about 40m southeast of a ringfort. The unenclosed area slopes gently eastward, with haphazard small stones marking graves in a narrow strip of earth. It is a quiet place where young lives ended, and the stones still hold the shape of that loss.

Some 40m SE of a ringfort (GA099-009----). A CBG, in fair condition, consisting of an unenclosed irregular area (N-S c. 15m, E-W 4m) sloping down to E, and within which a number of small set stones, haphazardly placed, indicated graves. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
