Grave Yard

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard belongs to St. Annin's Church in County Galway, where eighteen and nineteenth century markers still stand across a broad rectangular field. The 2020 clean-up stripped back years of hidden growth, exposing the patient shape of the dead beneath. That sudden clarity suggests the yard was not forgotten, but waiting for someone to remove the veil of green and remember the lives it holds.
Associated with 'St. Annin's Church' (GA068-024----). On inspection in July 1983, numerous grave-markers and graves dating to the 18th and 19th centuries were visible within this large roughly rectangular graveyard (c. 87m NNW-SSE; c. 60m ENE-WSW). On re-inspection in March 2020, it was found that a graveyard clean-up had removed most of the vegetation within it.
