What is recorded here
Associated with an earthwork (GA083-049002-). Named as 'Lisheenkyle' on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map, but by the time of 2nd ed. (1896), the words 'Site of' have been added. No visible surface trace survives. The present landowner, who has reclaimed the surrounding fields, was advised by the previous owner to leave this field untouched because of the tradition of burial there.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
