What is recorded here

Grave Yard in Grange, County Galway, is a children's burial ground where small upright stones scatter across a gentle slope beside the Dooyertha River. The contrast between haphazard northern markers and aligned southern graves suggests different communities or periods added their dead to the same sacred earth. A single inscribed slab for a child of two gives the quiet place its sharpest human edge, turning an ordinary oval enclosure into a chamber of lost small lives.

On a gentle S-facing slope in pastureland, c. 15m to the W of the Dooyertha River. This subrectangular children's burial ground (L 16.4m; Wth 12.3m) is defined by a drystone wall on its NW side but is otherwise unenclosed. Within it an irregular spread of small upright headstones mark graves. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 3 September 2019
