What is recorded here

Immediately east of the first graveyard in County Galway, a trapezoidal burial ground widens toward the west, holding rows of shallow rectangular pits marked only by small iron crosses. Collapsed stone walls and a field fence surround the four sections crossed by sunken pathways, preserving a quiet landscape from the late 19th or early 20th century. The absence of names on the crosses invites wonder about the people who walked there, were buried there, and stopped coming back.

Immediately to the E of the graveyard (GA088-008----). This trapezoidal-shaped graveyard widens towards its WSW end and is bounded on three sides by much-collapsed stone walls. A field fence delimits the NNW side. Access is gained through a gateway at NW. The interior is divided into four sections by two sunken pathways that dissect one another in the centre. Graves are in lines running ENW-WSW and consist of rectangular sunken depressions (L 2m; Wth 0.8m; D 0.4m) marked by small, uninscribed, iron, ringed crosses (H 0.4m). The burial ground probably dates from the late 19th to the early 20th century. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 6 March 2014
