The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture near the upper NE end of a ridge. (Google Earth aerial imagery, 10-6-2010, shows the location under dense tree and scrub cover.) Reported as a Children’s Burial Ground (SMR file) and still regarded as such locally. While there is no visible surface trace, sub-surface evidence may survive intact. A bullaun stone (MA070-014001-) lies c. 30m to the NW and there is a ringfort (MA070-016----) in the same field, c. 60m to the SW. A possible church and enclosure site (MA070-015001- and MA070-015002-) lie c. 90m to the ESE.
