What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is a medieval graveyard in County Galway, Ireland, enclosing a disused church now converted into a cow byre. The irregular stone-walled yard holds only modern headstones, yet the building's transformation from worship to livestock suggests human adaptability rather than disrespect. Cows may graze where prayers once echoed, continuing life's rhythm in an ancient landscape.

Associated with the medieval church (GA096-110----), which occupied its NE end, this irregularly shaped graveyard (c. 60m E-W; c. 30m N-S) is enclosed by a stone-built wall. Access is via a gateway at SW. A disused modern church (GA096-110002-) that was subsequently converted into a cow byre stands in its SE section. No early grave-markers were noted on inspection, all the visible headstones were modern. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 20 February 2020
