What is recorded here
Lisheennalannov, correctly Lisín na Leannaí, marks a small children’s burial ground on the north side of a Galway laneway. It measured roughly ten by fifteen metres when first drawn, but a field boundary cut through it by 1933. The land remains gently undulating, perhaps hiding rows of forgotten little bodies beneath ordinary soil.
On N side of a laneway in gently undulating farmland. This CBG, correctly Lisín na Leannaí, was indicated on 1st ed. OS 6-inch map as a small enclosed area (c. 10m by c. 15m). Evidently cut by a field boundary by time of 3rd ed. (1933). Not visited.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
