The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed bogland, c. 250m to the S of the village of Montiagh and c. 550m to the E of the River Clare.
This rectangular children's burial ground (27m NW-SE; 19.5m NE-SW) is defined along the S side by a field wall and elsewhere by a vegetation band. All that is visible within the interior is an L-shaped grassed-over stone structure (3m NE-SW; 2m NW-SE), the date and function of which are unknown.
