Named ‘Children’s Burial Ground’ but not indicated on the 1838 or 1922 editions of the OS 6-inch maps. A search indicated that it was possibly located within the heavily overgrown interior of the church (GA055-027002-). Towards its centre, three/four small ivy-covered set stones (H <0.2m; Wth 0.16m; T 0.08m), aligned N-S, which could mark children's burials were noted.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
