The National Monuments Service's description
Near a ruined cottage, to the SW of a boreen in an overgrown area of coarse uncleared pasture.
There is a tradition of a children’s burial ground close to the cottage. On field inspection in 1999, there were no visible remains of a children’s burial ground at ground level at this location. It is likely that no headstones were used. A Barrow-ring-barrow (CL016-148----) is located c. 66m to the NNW.
