The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (LF020-033----). It is locally believed that the enclosure is the site of a children's burial ground, a suggestion reinforced by the townland name. However, no grave-markers are visible. (Crawford 1926, 124-5)
