What is recorded here
Grave Yard in Grange, County Galway, is an active burial ground on a marshy slope where modern headstones share a stone-walled enclosure with an ancient bullaun stone. The contrast between new markers and the weathered cupped rock suggests the site has absorbed layers of human belief and loss. People still bring the dead to this place, trusting that the old stone and living soil can hold both memory and continuity.
On a S-facing slope in marshy grassland. This irregularly shaped burial ground (c. 55m E-W; c. 30m N-S) is enclosed by a stone wall and is accessed by a gateway at NW. It is still in use and all the headstones are modern. However, there is a bullaun stone (GA124-005001-) within it.
