The National Monuments Service's description

Some 15m to the SW of a holy well (GA114-066004-). This children's burial ground is defined by an unenclosed subrectangular area (c. 14m E-W; 6m N-S). The W half had been cleared revealing three parallel rows of small undressed irregularly spaced set stones indicating graves aligned E-W. A church (GA114-066001-) lay c. 48m to the NNW.
