The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in the SE sector of the interior of a cashel (CL008-013001-), this possible children's burial ground comprises a circular area (diam. c. 9m) of rough ground and limestone rubble in which there are three parallel lines of upright limestone slabs (max. H 0.9m), oriented NW-SE. The lines are 1-1.4m apart. The slabs are larger than the grave-markers usually associated with a children’s burial ground suggesting they could also be the remains of a structure of some kind. There is a souterrain (CL008-013004-) immediately to the NW.
