What is recorded here

Lisheenlee Childrens Burial Gd. marks a lost childhood in North Galway, though no stone or dip remains to point at the exact spot. The land may have swallowed the tiny graves long ago, forcing adults to carry the shapes in memory instead of walking them with feet. That absence does not diminish the place; it redirects love into imagination, where the children still play just beyond the edge of sight.

Associated with an enclosure (GA056-076----). Although named on OS 6-inch maps, no visible surface trace of this CBG survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

Children's Burial Ground, likely prehistoric in date; associated with a ritual or funerary enclosure. Its significance lies in its rare designation as a site specifically for children’s burials, offering insight into ancient burial practices and social structures.
