What is recorded here

Lisheen is a children's burial ground in County Mayo, Ireland, holding over 70 markers and a 1919 burial beside a holy well. The wet pasture and stone fences create a quiet boundary around small lives cut short, inviting wonder about the families who walked this path during fever or famine.

In wettish pasture, beside holy well (MA121-139002-). Rectangular area (23m N-S; 20m E-W), bounded S to E by stone field fences. Over 70 grave markers, a sandstone slab and a burial dating to 1919.
