The National Monuments Service's description
Known locally as a burial ground or cillin, this site is just south of the village of Eyeries. It is shown and marked as a burial ground on the 25’’ OS Map, but not the earlier editions. It is a sub-rectangular area of rough grazing with a rock outcrop at its highest point, fenced off and maintained by the local community. There are numerous plain stone grave markers and a single cross-inscribed cross near the entrance.
