What is recorded here

Killaghaun is a children's burial ground on a slight Galway rise, marked by rows of small limestone boulders and a low bank. The stones still align like forgotten paces, suggesting little bodies laid east to west beneath ordinary farmland. What is missing is not hidden; it has simply returned to the soil, leaving only the shape of care behind.

On a slight rise in undulating farmland. This CBG consists of a poorly preserved subrectangular area (E-W 15m, N-S 8m) defined by a low bank along W, N, and E sides and by a modern wall at S. The interior, particularly E half, is occupied by small set limestone boulders aligned in N-S running rows, indicating graves oriented E-W.
