Grave Yard

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard in Grange, County Galway, is a small oval enclosure beside a ruined church where one inscribed child slab stands out among rough, unmarked stones. The south graves align east to west like traditional Christian burials, while the north and east stones scatter without obvious plan, suggesting several communities or centuries layered in the same ground. A drystone wall still holds the shape, and the contrast between care and confusion gives the place its quiet strangeness.
Associated with a medieval church (GA105-049002-), which occupies its SE end, this graveyard (c. 110m NW-SE; c. 96m NE-SW) is delimited by a well-built rubble wall with a cement cap. Most of the tombstones date to the 19th and 20th centuries and a number of graves are marked by finely wrought iron crosses.
