The National Monuments Service's description
Within a subrectangular enclosure (GA107-144----). Known locally as a 'Lisheen', this very poorly preserved children's burial ground consists of a wedge-shaped platform (L c. 15m; Wth c. 10m) on which numerous set stones indicate graves aligned E-W. A number of trees are growing on the platform.
