What is recorded here

Lisheen is a children's burial ground hidden beside the Galway ringfort, though no grave marker or pit remains visible today. The name survived on old maps while the earth forgot the shape of the loss, leaving only the field and the memory of children beneath it.

Associated with a ringfort (GA056-129----). On OS 6-inch maps, the ringfort is named 'Lisheen' which suggests the former presence of a CBG. However, no visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
