What is recorded here

Inside an ancient ringfort at Foghill, a low earthwork hides a graveyard kept for children who never received baptism. A single uninscribed slab stands at the centre while smaller stones scatter nearby, perhaps marking each lost child. The absence of names does not diminish the place; it preserves the quiet desperation of families who loved them enough to find a way around doctrine.
Lisheen Grave Yard is recorded as a archaeological place in County Mayo. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
