What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Galway has buried bodies since at least 1791, when the earliest named stone was set in grassland. It remains active beside its church, meaning new grief still joins old silence there. The overgrown stone wall, iron railings and flat table tombs suggest continuity rather than abandonment, while unnamed older markers hint that the land held death before writing claimed it.

In grassland. This overgrown subrectangular graveyard (c. 50m E-W; c. 40m N-S) is enclosed by a stone wall capped with concrete. The earliest inscribed headstone noted dates to 1791; most of the others are of 19th and 20th-century date, though some older uninscribed grave-markers are also visible. Within an area bounded by trees in the NW section, a number of flat table tombs are visible. Several family plots are enclosed by iron railings. The graveyard is still in use. A church (GA073-016001-) is associated. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 23 November 2020
