What is recorded here

Kilcurragh Grave Yard is a small burial ground on an east-facing slope in County Galway, marked by a stone wall, scattered headstones, and a bullaun stone beside its entrance. It sits near a holy well, suggesting that grief, memory, and prayer once moved through the same place. The yard has since been absorbed into a larger graveyard, yet its boundary, stones, and quiet slope remain visible in the land.

On an E-facing slope in pastureland. On inspection in July 1983 this irregularly shaped burial ground (25m N-S; 20m E-W) was defined by a stone wall with an entrance at SE. A number of headstones and some small randomly spaced slabs were visible in the undergrowth. There was a bullaun stone (GA116-035001-) beside the entrance, on the N side, and a holy well (GA116-034----) c. 100m to the NE. Current OSi aerial imagery indicates that the burial ground has been subsumed into a larger graveyard.
