What is recorded here

Lisheen was a children's burial ground inside a Galway ringfort before men levelled the fort in 1989. The name still appears on old maps, but the children's place disappeared under boots, soil and forgetting. What remained is a gap: a local address pointing to nothing visible.

Associated with a ringfort (GA056-109----) which was levelled in 1989. Although named 'Lisheen' on OS 6-inch maps, suggesting the presence of a CBG, no visible surface trace survives. According to local information, the monument was located within a nearby ringfort (GA056-110----). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
