What is recorded here

Nine metres and six across, no more, the children's ground fits palm to palm in Lisheennageeha. Small undressed stones mark each burial, east to west, while parallel rows run north to south through low-lying country. The size suggests exclusion rather than abundance: a little space, repeatedly used, where adulthood and its ceremonies stayed outside.

In low-lying gently undulating countryside. A small unenclosed subrectangular area (ESE-WNW 9.6m, NNE-SSW 5.8m) with burials indicated by small undressed stones oriented E-W, and aligned in parallel N-S running rows.
