What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a children's burial ground in a Mayo meadow, preserved inside a square mound barely seventy centimetres high. The earth still holds several markers, while the surrounding grass continues to swallow the edges of that small sacred chamber. Children may have played beside it, loved it or fled from it depending on the light and the season.

In meadow. Marked on OS map (1838) as 'Grave Yard'; in earthwork (MA117-018001-). Square shaped mound (17.4m N-S; 18m E-W; H 0.7m) containing several grave markers. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra.
