What is recorded here

On the S bank of a stream, immediately to the SW of a holy well (GA133A002002-). Known locally as a 'Lisheen', this poorly preserved children's burial ground consists of an unenclosed subrectangular area (25m NE-SW; 12m NW-SE) within which a large number of randomly placed set stones indicate graves. According to local information, burial continued up to c. 1950. Incorrectly numbered 3 on the RMP map. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG
