The National Monuments Service's description
In a cashel (MA063-015----). The interior of the cashel was used as a children’s burial ground (pers. comm. Jimmy Tarpy, 2014). It is thought that the burials were in the S half of the interior, but it is not possible to identify graves amongst the loose stones and overgrowth that cover the interior.
