What is recorded here
No stones, no marks, no boundary remains. Only the shape of the ringfort and the memory that children were buried there through the 1930s and 1940s. The earth keeps what it wants to keep.
Within a ringfort (GA017-102----). Traditionally regarded as the site of a CBG in which most burials took place in the 1930s and 1940s. No visible surface trace survives.
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).
