What is recorded here

In rough pastureland on a flat sheltered terrace between two outcropping rocky ridges. This unenclosed children's burial ground (c. 10m N-S; 9m E-W) is defined graves marked by simple shale grave-markers (max. H 0.3m). About 15 grave-markers are visible as well some possible stone-lined graves - one large subrectangular example (2.2m E-W; 1.3m N-S; H 0.6m) resembles a leacht. According to local information, some Spanish sailors who drowned off a ship delivering coal at the nearby pier in Letterfrack are also buried here.
