What is recorded here

On a gentle SE-facing slope in an area of pastureland and scrub, immediately to the W of the townland boundary wall. When initially visited in August 1982 this children's burial ground consisted of an unenclosed oval area (7.6m NW-SE; 7.1m NE-SW) in which several set and recumbent grave-markers were visible. A hawthorn tree was growing roughly in its NE quadrant. To its NE the foundations of a modern rectangular house were evident. On re-inspection in September 1991 the burial ground was not visible due to the dense and high growth of ferns . Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 September 2019
