What is recorded here

To E of a laneway c. 270m NNE of Killeen Castlfc (GA082-050----). Described in OS Letters as 'a burying place now called Lisín' (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 1, 320), it consists of a subrectangular area (L c. 30m, Wth c. 28m) delimited by a stone wall. Most of the headstones mark late 19th-C adult burials, but the name suggests the presence of child burials also. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
