It sits within a low earthen bank, the kind of boundary that might easily be mistaken for a field division or a natural rise in the ground, yet it marks something considerably older and more deliberate.

The enclosure is irregular in shape, stretching roughly 48 metres in length and just over 10 metres wide, dimensions that suggest it grew organically rather than being laid out to a plan. Within it, many grave markers have been recorded. Burial grounds of this type, set apart from later parish churchyards and often located in open agricultural land, are scattered across rural Ireland. Some are associated with early Christian communities, others with traditions of local or family burial that persisted long after formal ecclesiastical cemeteries became the norm. The earthen bank enclosure is a feature more common in early medieval contexts, though without excavation it is rarely possible to assign a precise date to such sites.
