What is recorded here
No visible trace remains, but local memory places a children's burial ground inside the Luimnagh West ringfort. The loss is not empty; it is the kind of absence that shapes a household, a village or a county. Forgetting would be an additional injury. Remembering is the least that can be done.
Within a ringfort (GA056-110----). According to local information, there was a CBG known as a 'lisheen' here. No visible surface trace survives. See also GA056-109001
