What is recorded here

Lisbaun is a children's burial ground on the south slopes of Knockmoylemore, overlooking the broad valley that surrounds Trabeg. Two stones stand half a metre apart at the east, perhaps marking an entrance, while a third rises slightly south, maybe guiding a small body into the dark earth. The valley stretches below like a green bowl, inviting children to play until dusk, when the stones seem to lean forward, waiting for the next little shadow to join them.

Lisbaun/An Lios Bán: A univallate rath situated on the S slopes of Knockmoylemore, overlooking the broad valley that surrounds Trabeg. It is known locally as a burial ground and is named 'Calluragh burial ground' on the OS maps. A pair of orthostats set .5m apart at E may mark its entrance. A 3rd orthostat, .5m high, stands a short distance to S. The function of the latter is not clear but it may be a grave-marker related to the use of the site as a burial ground. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 315. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
