What is recorded here

In undulating pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1920 edition of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1983 to be a disused gravel pit defined by a shallow hollow. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.

Lisheennagranshymore Burying GroundChildren's burial ground · 1098 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Lisheennagranshymore Burying Ground in Grange More is a D-shaped area that was levelled in the 1960s, so it’s basically a ghost with no body, just a memory and a lot of pastureland. I heard a cow once tried to buy it for grazing rights, but the farmer said no because cows don’t understand historical significance. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
