The hollow had been quarried to create a small, box-like rectangular cut, just 35 centimetres wide and 23 centimetres deep, precisely sized for its occupant: a neonate, a newborn infant, laid with its head to the west.

The burial, recorded as F3047f, was found on the eastern side of the bedrock hollow during archaeological investigation. Despite some disturbance from root growth over the centuries, the skeleton was relatively intact and compactly arranged. There was no covering slab and no grave-goods, nothing placed alongside the child to mark status or ease a passage. What was found, to the south of the burial, was a linear stone boundary running north-east to south-west across the hollow. Whether this boundary pre-dates the grave or was constructed specifically to demarcate the burial area is unclear, but either way it suggests that the spot carried some degree of deliberate organisation. The radiocarbon dating, placing the burial within the Irish Late Bronze Age to early Iron Age transition, situates it within a period when funerary practice was varied and often localised, and when the burial of infants in particular could differ markedly from adult interment customs. The absence of grave-goods is not unusual for the period, though the effort taken to shape the bedrock into a snug, purposeful grave, rather than simply placing the body in a natural depression, points to a careful and considered act of burial.
