Cist in Lisheenboy

Depicted on the 1843 ed. OS 6-inch map as a small circular mound (TN007-018001). According to local information (NMI 1934) the mound was believed to contain a cave. This tradition of a cave may be a reference to a cist. Not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

Cist in Lisheenboy is a small prehistoric stone burial cist, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its potential to provide insights into early burial practices and local traditions in an otherwise poorly documented region.
