The National Monuments Service's description
Situated outside the boundary of a very overgrown children’s burial ground (CL026-003002-), named as such on the 1920 OS 6-inch map. No gravemarkers are associated with the burial ground but there is a cairn of loose stones (diam. 5m; H 0.7m) just 3m outside the N boundary.
