No headstones, no enclosing wall, no depression in the grass. The field is known locally as 'The Cill', a word derived from the Irish for church, and the landowner has long understood it to contain a children's burial ground, of the kind once called a cillín. These were informal, unconsecrated plots used for the interment of unbaptised infants and others considered ineligible for burial in consecrated ground, a practice that persisted in rural Ireland well into the twentieth century. They are often found near the sites of early medieval churches, tucked into field corners or beside old boundaries, and they tend to survive in memory more reliably than in stone.

The site was recorded by Bowman in 1934, who noted both a church site and a burial ground on land then belonging to John Kelleher. Around a decade before that recording, bones had come up when the field was being ploughed, which is how such places frequently announce themselves. The associated church, listed separately, has likewise left no visible trace above ground. The name of the field is, at this point, the most legible thing about the place, carrying a designation that has outlasted every physical structure that once gave it meaning.
