What is recorded here
Lisín an Cealltragh is a children's burial ground on an east-facing ridge in County Galway, marked by a raised rectangular patch and scattered small stones. A modern field wall now cuts through the ancient quiet, yet the place still belongs to the dead rather than the living.
On E-facing slope of a ridge. This CBG, correctly Lisín an Cealltrach, consists of an unenclosed but slightly raised (H 0.4-0.7m) rectangular area (L 39.4m, Wth 20.1m). Numerous small set stones are visible in the interior which is cut by a modern field wall running SSW-NNE. A bullaun stone lies just outside the burial area to W.
