It measures approximately 40 metres on its longer axis and 10 metres across, with noticeably rounded corners, and it sits unenclosed, open to the surrounding fields rather than bounded by any wall or ditch.

Places like this are known in Irish as cillíní (singular: cillín), informal burial sites used for centuries to inter unbaptised infants and others who, under Catholic Church practice, could not be buried in consecrated ground. They are scattered across the Irish landscape in considerable numbers, often occupying ancient or liminal spots, marginal land at parish edges, beside water, or on the boundaries of townlands. The proximity here to both a townland boundary and a river, roughly 600 metres to the south, fits that pattern closely. The rounded corners of the plot are a detail worth noting; they appear in a number of recorded cillíní and may reflect a local tradition of marking the ground in a manner distinct from ordinary field boundaries, though the significance of the form is not fully understood. The site at Parklaur has not been subject to fieldwork, and what lies beneath the grass, whether any surface markers survive or whether the ground retains any visible trace of its former use, remains unrecorded.
