Killowen Burial Ground

On roadside close to seashore. Known locally as Reilig Chill Eoin, it is indicated on 1st ed. Of OS 6-inch map as a small unenclosed rectangular area (c. 15m by c. 10m), aligned E-W. The present graveyard, now enclosed by a rectangular wall, has a different alignment, however. Most of the graves appear to be modern. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
