What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands in pastureland on the north shore of Lough Nakilla, County Galway, preserving simple east-west headstones beside a medieval church. The disused oval site stretches forty-five metres, bounded partly by drystone wall and shadowed by a possible leacht and nearby holy well. Forgetting has not erased it; grass, memory and stone still mark the place where people laid others to rest beneath an open sky.

In pastureland on the N shore of Lough Nakilla. This roughly oval-shaped graveyard (c. 45m E-W; c. 20-30m N-S), now disused, is bounded along its E half by a drystone wall. The original entrance is at SSW. On inspection, the interior was heavily overgrown. Where visible, burials were marked by simple headstones aligned E-W. A medieval church (GA035-048001-) occupies the NW quadrant. A possible leacht (GA035-048004-) is also associated and a holy well (GA035-048003-) lies c. 15m to the SW. A modern rectangular graveyard adjoins the site to the W. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 17 April 2023
