The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland on the E slope of a hill in the Slieve Aughty mountain range. This children's burial ground is defined by a raised rectangular area (8.5m N-S; 4.2m E-W) upon which four rows small limestone uprights mark graves. Along the N side a number of large boulders are probably the result of field clearance.
