The National Monuments Service's description
According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 371), ‘On Mr. Drennan’s farm in Ovenstown there is a field called “Rillig,” in which there is a very ancient graveyard. Its history is entirely unknown’. There is no burial ground indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map or on the 1947 revision. The location of this burial ground in Ovenstown townland is unknown.
