None of them carry names. None carry dates. They average just thirty centimetres in height, and much loose stone lies scattered between them, giving the enclosure, a rectangle measuring roughly 22 by 15 metres, the feel of a place that has quietly folded in on itself over a long period. The last burial here took place in the early 1960s.

This is a calluragh, or ceallúnach, a type of unconsecrated burial ground used in Ireland for those who could not, under Catholic practice, be interred in consecrated ground. Most commonly, this meant unbaptised infants, though the grounds of exclusion and the local customs around these sites varied considerably from place to place. This particular site is locally known as Ceallúnach na Rinne Rua, and it carries a double grief in its history. As well as serving as a burial place for unbaptised children, it is reputed to have received victims of the Great Famine from the nearby deserted sráidbhaile, or hamlet, of Reenroe. That village no longer exists as a living settlement. The combination of famine dead and the long tradition of infant burial here gives the site an unusual and sombre layering. The townland boundary and a roadway form its northern and western limits, placing it at the very edge of the parochial and administrative landscape, which feels appropriate for a place that existed precisely because certain people were excluded from ordinary burial rites.
