The National Monuments Service's description

On level pasture near the S end of Drumachon, a small 'island' in Timahoe bog. A poorly preserved trackway (Wth 3m) defined by a narrow, shallow fosse on each side (Wth 0.8-1m; D 0.1-0.2m) is traceable for a short distance (L c. 20m) running SSW from a Children's Burial Ground (KD009-006001-) towards the bog c. 200m to the S. A second, similar trackway, running W from the Children's Burial Ground, noted in 1986 (SMR file) in no longer clearly identifiable and the immediate area is very heavily poached by livestock.
