What marks it out is almost nothing: a low bank of earth and stone, less than half a metre high, curving around a roughly circular area about fifteen metres across. The dead here left very little behind, and the living have left even less by way of explanation.

The Ordnance Survey's six-inch map of 1842 labels the site plainly as 'Burial Ground', which tells us that people in the mid-nineteenth century knew what it was and considered it worth recording, even if they recorded nothing further. Sites like this, with no grave markers and no associated church ruins, often represent informal or pre-ecclesiastical burial practices, the interment of unbaptised infants in what are sometimes called cillíní, or simply the continuation of very old local customs that operated outside the formal structures of parish burial. The subcircular shape of the enclosing bank is a feature seen at many early medieval and prehistoric sites across Ireland, though without excavation it is impossible to say with any confidence how old this particular ground really is. By the time the survey caught up with it, the site was heavily overgrown, the bank only partially intact, and no markers of any kind remained.
