The burial ground at Drumcahill, in the townland of Cartron in County Galway, is a little different: it is almost perfectly square, measuring roughly 35 metres east to west and 34 metres north to south, enclosed within a stone wall that gives it an unusually neat, deliberate footprint.

The site is associated with a nearby chapel, and the pairing of a walled burial ground with a small rural chapel is a familiar arrangement in Connacht, where such complexes often mark the presence of much older religious activity, even when the standing fabric is relatively recent. What is notable here is that the graveyard remains in active use, meaning the site has maintained an unbroken function across whatever changes in the chapel and its community have occurred over the centuries. That continuity, quiet and largely unannounced, is what tends to distinguish these small parish grounds from the more obviously ruined or abandoned enclosures that are easier to find recorded and visited.
