No stones, no mounds, no visible boundary. What survives instead is memory, specifically local knowledge that a place known as a lisheen once existed here, tucked within the enclosure of a ringfort.

A lisheen is a diminutive form of the Irish word lios, meaning a fairy fort or earthwork enclosure, and the term came to be applied colloquially to the small, unofficial burial grounds where unbaptised infants were interred. These sites sit at the intersection of Catholic doctrine and older folk practice. Because unbaptised children were considered ineligible for consecrated ground under traditional Church teaching, communities across Ireland quietly buried them in liminal places, old earthworks, field boundaries, and ancient enclosures, places already understood to exist slightly outside ordinary human territory. The ringfort here at Luimnagh, recorded separately in the archaeological record, would have been exactly the kind of ancient, ambiguous ground that local tradition associated with the otherworld, making it a logical, if sorrowful, choice. No date is attached to the use of this particular lisheen, and no physical trace survives to confirm its precise extent or character.
