Each is modest in scale, roughly two and a half metres long and just thirty centimetres high, the kind of feature that could be passed over entirely without local knowledge to guide the eye. According to tradition, these are graves, and the ground they occupy is a children's burial ground.

A cashel is a stone-built ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead common across early medieval Ireland, typically defined by a substantial circular or oval wall. The choice to bury children within one, rather than in consecrated ground, places this site within a broader Irish tradition of cillíní, informal burial grounds used for unbaptised infants and others excluded from the rites of the institutional church. That this particular cashel was recorded as a children's burial ground on the 1919 Ordnance Survey six-inch map suggests the site was still recognised and perhaps still in use, or at least remembered, into the early twentieth century. The two mounds, tucked close to the sheltering wall, carry the quiet weight of that long observance.
