What is recorded here
Eynagh Grave Yard is a small oval of uninscribed limestone markers in County Galway, perhaps a chambered tomb repurposed for later burials. The stones cluster without alignment, denying the visitor the comfort of names or dates. They mark forgotten lives, not forgotten worth, and they still hold the shape of human grief.
Within an enclosure (GA041-017001-). This graveyard consists of a poorly preserved oval area (N-S c. 13m, E-W c. 11m) within which are numerous uninscribed limestone grave-markers. No particular alignment is apparent. Three grave-markers are also visible outside the enclosure at E. Possibly a CBG.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
