The National Monuments Service's description
In an area of marshy pastureland. Marked on the 1947 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular unenclosed area of brushwood (diam. c. 40). All that survives is a faint subcircular rise. The site is known locally as a ‘lisheen’. However, the landowner, who removed whitethorn bushes during land reclamation several years ago, did not recall the presence of any stones or grave-markers which would have indicated a children's burial ground.
