A faint subcircular rise in the ground, perhaps noticeable only if you are looking for it, is all that remains of a site marked on the 1947 Ordnance Survey six-inch map as a roughly circular, unenclosed area of brushwood, approximately forty metres across. Its designation as a children's burial ground makes its near-total disappearance quietly unsettling.

The site is known locally as a lisheen, a diminutive of the Irish word "lios", generally used to describe a small, rounded earthwork or enclosure, often carrying folkloric associations. Lisheens were frequently repurposed in the popular imagination, or in actual practice, as informal burial places for unbaptised infants, who under Catholic tradition could not be interred in consecrated ground. These childrens' burial grounds, found across Ireland in marginal or liminal spots, fields, townland boundaries, the edges of bogs, speak to a long and painful chapter in rural religious and social life. At Lismanny, even the physical evidence has largely gone. During land reclamation work carried out in recent years, the landowner removed whitethorn bushes from the site. Significantly, they did not recall finding any stones or grave-markers in the process, leaving the classification as a burial ground resting on local knowledge and cartographic record rather than material remains.
