The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland, c. 200m to the S of the Cappagh River. This rectangular burial ground (12.4m NW-SE; 6.6m SW-NE) is defined by a poorly preserved drystone wall (int. H 0.2m; max. ext. H 0.8m; Wth 1.2m) with a gap (Wth 1.6m) at SW. Within the interior two uninscribed set stones indicate graves aligned E-W. Other loose stones scattered about appear to be the result of field clearance. Possibly a children's burial ground.
