No stones, no mounds, no enclosing wall. The only evidence that anything is there at all comes from a cartographer's annotation on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1842, where a surveyor recorded the words "Childrens Burial Gd." and moved on.

The site belongs to a category of burial place once found across Ireland known as a cillín, a term for unconsecrated ground used to inter those who, under Catholic Church practice, were excluded from burial in hallowed churchyards. Unbaptised infants were the most common occupants, though the category sometimes extended to stillborn children, adults who had died by suicide, or others considered outside the bounds of formal Christian burial. These places were often located at the margins of settled land, in bogs, at old earthwork boundaries, or in fields that had some prior association with ancient or liminal space. They were not forgotten exactly, but they were rarely marked with permanence, and many have now passed entirely out of living memory. The Carrigtishane example follows that pattern: visible to a mid-nineteenth century surveyor, it had already lost any surface trace by the time it was catalogued in the late twentieth century.
