The ground keeps its secrets well; the area measures roughly ten metres north to south and nearly fourteen metres east to west, and it sits so quietly in the landscape that a person could walk past it without registering anything more than a slight change in the terrain.

The site is defined not by walls or a formal enclosure but by what the land itself does. To the north, a scarp, essentially a low natural or man-made earthen drop, rises to around 1.2 metres and acts as one boundary. To the east and west, a low arc of earthen bank, only about 0.4 metres high, curves around the space, giving the enclosure its characteristic semicircular shape. A straight field boundary completes the outline on one side. No grave markers have been recorded, and the whole area is heavily overgrown. Burial grounds of this informal kind are not uncommon in rural Ireland; they include unconsecrated plots used for unbaptised infants, known as cilliní, as well as older pre-Christian or early medieval cemeteries that predate the parish church system entirely. Whether this particular site belongs to one tradition or another is not currently documented, which itself says something about how many such places remain only partially understood.
