Not ndicated

Leacht

What is recorded here

Not ndicated is a shallow stone box beside Teampall Bhreacáin in County Galway, no taller than a ankle and wide enough for several people to lie across. It belongs with four other leabaí near Teampall an Phoill, marking a place where burial, memory and church life touched one another. Later graves fill part of it, but the old kerb still draws the eye to a forgotten arrangement of death and devotion.
This is one of five leabaí or grave-plots (see also GA110-023001-, GA110-023002-, GA110-023005- and GA110-023009-) associated with Teampall Bhreacáin (GA110-010001-) and Teampall an Phoill (GA110-010003-). This possible example lies to the SSE of Leaba Bhreacáin (GA110-023001-). It is defined on three sides by a stone kerb (L c. 7.5m, Wth c. 6m ext.; H 0.2m). A number of late 20th-century graves occupy the interior. (Waddell 1973, 26; Gosling 1993, 145, no. 838) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 8 March 2016
