What is recorded here

Kincullia Grave Yard is a children's burial ground in County Galway, Ireland. It lies in low-lying undulating pastureland, shaped like a rough wedge about twenty-five metres long and nine metres wide. A low grassed-over bank still marks its edge, while set and fallen stones cluster toward the north-eastern section. The stones may have guided mourners to small graves now hidden beneath grass and time.

In low-lying undulating pastureland. This roughly wedge-shaped children's burial ground (L c. 25.5m; Wth c. 9.2m) is defined by a low grassed-over bank. Within it, and concentrated in the NNE sector, numerous grass-covered set and fallen stones indicate graves.
