What is recorded here
Grave Yard in Grange, County Galway, is a children's burial ground where small stones mark graves on a pasture hummock. One inscribed slab dated 1796 stands just north-west of centre, giving the place a clear human anchor amid rows of ordinary markers. Quarrying has taken ground from its south-east and west edges, yet the chamber remains visible because the stones are still set among grass rather than buried under forgetfulness.
On a hummock in undulating pastureland. This children's burial ground consists of an unenclosed rectangular area (18m N-S; 15m E-W) within which numerous small set stones mark graves. Just NW of centre is an inscribed slab dated 1796. Quarrying has encroached upon it at SE and W.
