What is recorded here

Lismanny is a children's burial ground, now a faint circular rise in Galway marsh pasture. It was a small brushwood circle on the 1947 map, and the local name is lisheen. A landowner cleared whitethorn there but remembered no stones or grave marks. The children may have been buried without marking, hidden under grass, rain and time.

In an area of marshy pastureland. Marked on the 1947 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular unenclosed area of brushwood (diam. c. 40). All that survives is a faint subcircular rise. The site is known locally as a ‘lisheen’. However, the landowner, who removed whitethorn bushes during land reclamation several years ago, did not recall the presence of any stones or grave-markers which would have indicated a children's burial ground.
