What is recorded here
St. Bridgets Grave Yard holds uninscribed slabs in County Galway, Ireland, where fallen markers disappear beneath grass and bogland shadows the edge. The oval platform measures 13.6 metres north-south and 8 metres east-west, marking graves aligned east-west in open grassland. St. Bridget's Well lies 115 metres southeast, suggesting the burial place and water source belonged to the same living landscape. People may have brought the dead to ground they already trusted, leaving no names behind but shaping the land with repeated care.
In undulating grassland overlooking bogland to the W and S. This unenclosed burial ground is defined by an oval-shaped platform (13.6m N-S; 8m E-W). Numerous small set uninscribed slabs (H 0.1-0.2m) within it indicate graves aligned E-W. A number of the grave-markers have fallen and are grassed over. St. Bridget's Well (GA107-) lies c. 115m to the SE.
