Yet this modest rise in the ground is a calluragh, a type of unconsecrated burial ground used in Ireland for centuries to inter unbaptised infants. Because Catholic doctrine long held that children who died before baptism could not enter consecrated ground, communities created their own quiet alternatives, often in liminal spots, old raths, or, as here, seemingly unremarkable rises in a field.

The site takes an irregular semi-circular form, abutting the southern side of an east-west field wall, and measures roughly 14.7 metres east to west and 11.6 metres north to south, rising to somewhere between half a metre and sixty centimetres in height. What makes it particularly curious is that it sits just fifty metres west of another site of the same type in the same townland, and the historical record is genuinely ambiguous about which of the two the older sources intended to describe. The Ordnance Survey Name Books for the Ventry area note only a single calluragh in this townland, leaving the relationship between the two unresolved. The site was identified on what is known as the Fair Plan, an early draft mapping stage, under the name calluragh, but that name never made it onto the published Ordnance Survey editions, so it passed effectively unnamed into the official cartographic record. J. Cuppage documented it in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, which remains the primary source for the site.
