What is recorded here

Grave Yard in Grange, County Galway, is a children's burial ground where one inscribed slab marks a child of two years, giving the small oval a sudden human edge. The contrast between haphazard northern stones and aligned southern graves suggests different periods or communities sharing one sacred plot. That child's name still lives on the stone while the others remain anonymous beneath the grass.

On a low hill in pastureland. Described in the OS Letters as ‘a burying ground for children’ (O’Flanagan 1927, Vol. 2, 629), it consists of a poorly preserved and densely overgrown D-shaped area (6.5m E-W; 5m N-S) within which a number of small set stones mark graves. A field wall defines is NW limits. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 30 August 2019
