The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a possible rath (GA107-057002-). This children's burial ground is defined by a very poorly preserved roughly rectangular area (L 21.3m; Wth 6.5m) which is delimited by the bank of the rath from SW to NNW and by a roadside field wall along the E sector. Within the interior numerous set stones indicate graves aligned NW-SE.
