It measures roughly seven metres by seven metres, bounded by a low earthen bank, and within it a handful of grave markers are still visible above the grass. That combination, a deliberately bounded space, however modestly defined, with legible markers still upright, suggests a burial ground that was once known and tended, even if no one tends it now.

Small enclosed burial grounds of this kind are not unusual in the Irish countryside. Many are of early medieval origin, sometimes associated with a local saint or a long-vanished church, and sometimes simply a community plot that predates the consolidation of parish burial into larger churchyards. The earthen bank, rather than a stone wall, points toward considerable age; stone walls came later and more formally. Without further excavation or documentary evidence it is impossible to say precisely when this ground was first used or by whom, but its form is consistent with early Christian period burials found across Munster, where small square or sub-circular enclosures mark out a consecrated space in an otherwise unremarkable field.
