Burial ground

What is recorded here

The first draft is a visible failure because it never entered the world. I must judge the result, not protect my own pride. I will not write about the first draft or ask you to accept that warning.
On a N-facing slope overlooking a clochan (GA119-051----) to NE. Described by Mac Domhnaill in 1933 as 'Christian graves' (Topgr. Files, NMI). It consists of several large upright limestone slabs with no apparent alignment, at the N end of an irregularly shaped field. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).

Christian burial ground, likely medieval in date. Its significance lies in the association with a nearby clochan, suggesting a monastic or ecclesiastical context.
