What is recorded here
Toberderagon Grave Yard is a children's burial ground on a NW-facing slope in County Galway, marked by grassed-over set stones within a subrectangular area. The low bank and surrounding trees still hold the shape of the place, while the small graves suggest a community that set aside this quiet corner for its youngest members.
On a NW-facing slope in pastureland. An subrectangular area (12.9m NE-SW; 11.7m NW-SE) is defined by low bank at NE and elsewhere by trees. Within the interior numerous grassed-over set stones indicate graves.
