What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Galway is a children's burial ground where set stones mark small east-west graves across low-lying pastureland. One box-like plot, barely large enough for a child, stands out among the rows. St Brendan's Well lies fifteen metres away, as if water and death had been kept close together in the same field.

In low-lying pastureland. This children's burial ground consists of an unenclosed subrectangular area (c. 18m N-S; c. 14m E-W) within which numerous set stones, running in N-S rows, indicate graves aligned E-W. Within the NW sector of the interior a box-like grave plot (L 1.2m; Wth 0.5m) is defined by a number of set stones. St Brendan’s Well (GA106-112002-) lies c. 15m to the SSE.
