Grave Yard

Burial ground

What is recorded here

Grave Yard in Grange, County Galway, is a small oval burial ground surrounding a ruined church, distinguished by one inscribed child’s grave among many unmarked stones. Its mixed layout, with haphazard northern and eastern markers but aligned southern graves, suggests centuries of interrupted use by different communities. The single named child gives the quiet site a human heart, while the drystone wall and overgrown ground preserve the patience of time itself.
In rocky pastureland on the NE side of Shanaglish village. This L-shaped burial ground (c. 80m NNE-SSW; c. 30m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall with an entrance at S. Within its very overgrown interior numerous uninscribed small set stones are interspersed with 18th- and 19th-century grave-markers.
