The National Monuments Service's description
Area of rough grazing immediately to the east of the public road. The land is south facing, overlooking the valley of Moneylea and Coolmountain with a rock face close to the east. This piece of land was known locally as a Children's Burial Ground and indicated by a local resident. Today there is no evidence for burial markers or any enclosing feature.
