The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as an unenclosed roughly D-shaped area (c. 15m E-W; c. 10m N-S). No visible surface trace survives. According to local information, it was levelled in the early 1960s. The ‘Lisheen’ element of the name suggests it was a children's burial ground.
