What is recorded here
Children's burial ground in Lismafadda: local information places child graves inside a levelled rath in County Galway, Ireland, though no visible surface trace survives. The rath has been flattened, yet the claim persists: small bodies were laid to rest within its abandoned rings. That absence makes the place harder to dismiss, because people still point to the same ground and say the children are there.
Within the interior of a levelled rath (GA108-163----). According to local information, there is a children's burial ground within the rath. No visible surface trace survives.
