What is recorded here

Kilteesk Childrens Burial Ground holds small graves behind a low wall in County Galway, waiting for the love and witness that children never received. It is not a display or a warning. It is a chamber where ordinary life stops pretending, showing the keeper whether they understand loss or still treat the world as a game.

Some 9m E of a large enclosure (GA042-076001-). A subrectangular area (N-S 13.8m, E-W 13.1m) defined by a low wall within which a number of set stones indicate graves. Some houses (GA042-076003-) lies close by to SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
