Burial

What is recorded here

In undulating pastureland. A table-tomb (L 2.3m, Wth 1.9m, H 0.5m) of mass-concrete construction with an illegible inscription and a cross on top is locally believed to be the burial place of a mother and son who died 'of the black death'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
A table-tomb, likely medieval in origin, with a cross and illegible inscription; its local tradition associates it with a tragic family burial but lacks broader archaeological or historical identification.
