In pasture, on top of the W-facing slope of a ridge. In the 1840s it was recorded that a small disused burial ground was attached to Kilcredane Church (KE058-015001-) (OSNB, Kilcredane, no. 1, 20). This burial ground is known locally as a children's burial ground. There are no visible remains of any graves or grave-markers in the vicinity of the church.
