The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pastureland. This children's burial ground consists of a D-shaped area (L 22m) defined by a shallow fosse; a roughly N-S running field boundary forms the straight W side. Within the interior sporadic overgrown grave-markers are visible, with the main concentration occurring in the SW sector.
