The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in an undulating landscape. The burial ground (RO051-061002-) at Cloonoghil church (RO051-061001-) has uninscribed grave-markers and is locally known as a childrens burial ground (Gannon 1972), perhaps because it is described as 'Caltragh' in italic lettering on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map.
