The National Monuments Service's description
Some 40m to the SE of a rath (GA128-070----). This poorly preserved burial ground consists of an unenclosed oval area (NE-SW 24m, NW-SE 11.5m) sloping down to E. Within it a number of small set stones and slabs, haphazardly arranged, indicate graves. A mature tree is growing in the centre of the interior. Possibly a children's burial ground.
