What is recorded here

Lisheen Burying Ground in County Galway holds small partially overgrown stones marking child graves oriented east to west within a twenty-three-metre irregular area. The quiet scale suggests a community set aside for its youngest members, while the surrounding enclosure implies the land remained protected long after the last burial.

Within an enclosure (GA042-137----). Unenclosed irregular area (N-S 23m) within which numerous small partially overgrown stones indicate graves oriented E-W.
