Within a possible rath (MA038-018001-). The placename, ‘Lisheenpastia’, and local tradition record that the interior of the possible rath was used as a children’s burial ground. It has been levelled; there is no visible evidence of graves at ground level. There is another children’s burial ground (MA018-019002-) within a possible rath (MA038-019001-) 180m to SSE, and another possible rath (MA038-020----) is located c. 190m to SE.
