The National Monuments Service's description
In level pastureland. This children's burial ground consists of a raised semicircular area (20m E-W; 11m N-S) which abuts the E side of a NNE-SSW running townland boundary. Several trees are growing on it. A number of small headstones protrude from the sod cover and one large slab-lined grave is visible. (McCaffrey 1952, 283, no. 69)
