What is recorded here

Lisglass is a henge on a Galway rise where a children's burial ground still lies beneath the grass. The site was largely levelled before 1947, leaving only a western bank and wide ditch to mark its edge. That much of the circle disappeared while the child graves remained hidden suggests the place was never forgotten, only redesigned around what needed protecting.

On a rise in hilly grassland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a subcircular enclosure (c. 70m N-S; c. 68m E-W) clipped by a N-S running field boundary at NNE and SSE; partially levelled by the time of the 1947 edition. All that survives is the arc of a low bank from W to N, directly inside of which is a shallow but wide fosse (Wth 4m); otherwise no visible surface trace survives. A children's burial ground (GA117-049001-) lies within SE sector of the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 2 April 2019
