The graves here are not marked by inscribed headstones or neat kerbing, but by large, unworked boulders, plain and uninscribed, sitting in heavily overgrown ground within a low, degraded earthen bank. The whole enclosure measures roughly 34 metres north to south and 40 metres east to west, modest enough to pass for a forgotten field corner if you did not know what lay beneath.

The 1842 Ordnance Survey six-inch map places the burial ground in the south-east quadrant of what appears to have been a larger enclosure, possibly of early ecclesiastical origin. Such enclosures, often roughly circular or oval in plan, are a recurring feature of early Christian settlement in Ireland, typically defining a sacred precinct around a church or monastic cell. By the time the revised six-inch map was produced in 1903, the larger enclosure had been removed entirely, lost to the reorganisation of the surrounding field system. The burial ground itself survived, though the 1903 map already describes it as disused. Whatever community once maintained it had long since moved on, leaving the boulders to sink quietly into the pasture.
