Nothing marks the spot. There is no headstone, no enclosure, no hollow in the turf. The site exists, in any practical sense, only because a building project in 1957 accidentally broke through it.

When foundations were being laid for a bungalow, a number of skeletons came to light and the National Museum of Ireland was called in to investigate. Archaeologists identified approximately twenty burials, each placed in a separate pit and orientated east to west, the traditional Christian alignment with the head to the west so the body faces east towards the rising sun. Notably, none of the pits had cut through an earlier one, suggesting the graves were carefully spaced by people who knew where their dead already lay. There were no objects buried with the remains, which makes precise dating difficult. The archaeologist on site told the landowner that the burials likely continued beyond the excavated area, possibly extending towards the road and into the field to the south. The bungalow, rather than being built directly over the site, was relocated a short distance to the west. The proximity of the site to Athasselabbey, the ruins of a large Augustinian priory founded in the late twelfth century and once among the most important monasteries in Munster, raises the obvious question of whether this ground formed part of a wider monastic or parish burial landscape, though no formal connection has been established from the available evidence.
