The National Monuments Service's description
In the W sector of a cashel (GA128-087----). Known locally as a children's burial ground; apart from two set stones in the fosse, no visible surface trace survives. One of the stones is worked and may be a jambstone from a doorway - possibly from the house that is shown here on the 1938 edition of the OS 6-inch map.
