Graveyard

What is recorded here

Lavallylisheen Graveyard occupies the interior of a cashel in County Galway, holding plain stones, crosses and inscribed limestone slabs from the 19th and 20th centuries. A man-made underground passage cuts through the western half, suggesting the site served more purposes than burial alone. The unenclosed irregular shape resists easy description, inviting wonder about how many generations used the same ground for different needs.
