What is recorded here
Lisheennagranshymore Burying Ground in County Galway was a children's burial place, now vanished beneath pasture after being levelled in the early 1960s. Its name still points to small deaths and tender loss, even though no marker or mound remains for anyone to find. The land may still hold what the tools removed from sight.
In pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as an unenclosed roughly D-shaped area (c. 15m E-W; c. 10m N-S). No visible surface trace survives. According to local information, it was levelled in the early 1960s. The ‘Lisheen’ element of the name suggests it was a children's burial ground.
