Situated on a rise in pasture, with good views of the surrounding landscape. Not depicted on OS mapping. Monument described in 1996 as having been marked up on a set of SMR maps. The provenance is potentially derived from local information. It is assumed that this children’s burial ground is within the interior of the ringfort.
