What is recorded here
Lisheennabeagh marks a vanished children's burial ground beside a Galway ringfort, preserving a tragic function that earth and time have erased from sight. The name still points to innocent lives taken before they could leave childhood, suggesting the land itself remembered what the surface forgot.
Associated with a ringfort (GA061-073----). The site name suggests the presence of a CBG but no visible surface trace survives.
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).
