The National Monuments Service's description
On the NE facing slope of a small rise. A small oval enclosure (dims c. 15m E-W; c. 10m N-S) is marked on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in bold italic lettering as 'Killins'. There is also a local tradition of a children's burial ground in the interior of cashel (LE001-054001-) (OS Name Book, 84, 585). No trace of the burial ground can be seen now but it is inside the perimeter at S.
