The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying undulating pastureland. This roughly wedge-shaped children's burial ground (L c. 25.5m; Wth c. 9.2m) is defined by a low grassed-over bank. Within it, and concentrated in the NNE sector, numerous grass-covered set and fallen stones indicate graves. (O’Flanagan 1927, Vol. 2, 87)
