What is recorded here
Corraneena holds a children's burial ground where moss-covered stones mark small lives cut short. The road builders took the eastern edge, but they missed the western slope where the grass still leans toward the sea. What remains is a narrow strip of memory, neither forgotten nor fully known.
On W-facing slope in grassland. Known locally as a CBG. An unenclosed area (ENE-WSW 12.9m, E-W 2.5m) within which are a few moss-covered rectangular set stones. It may have been partially removed during construction of an adjacent road and field wall at E.
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).
