What made it quietly distinctive was the arrangement at its western edge: two upright stones flanking a low rectangular stone, itself bearing a subrectangular socket on its upper surface, the kind of fitting that would once have held a cross or marker upright. By around 1990, those stones had been removed and the platform levelled, most likely during agricultural improvement. What had been a cillín now exists primarily in earlier descriptions.

A cillín is an unconsecrated burial ground, typically used in Ireland for unbaptised infants, suicides, or others excluded from sanctified churchyard burial. They are often small, discreet, and easy to overlook in the landscape. This one at Kilcronat appears to have been rather more substantial than most. Writing in 1951, a researcher named Power recorded the presence of a small cross-head with plinth, an axe-mould, and what he described as an arc of an outer rampart enclosing two to three acres. No surface evidence for that enclosure or for burials was visible even before the levelling took place, but the combination of a socketed stone, a cross-head, and a possible enclosure suggests the site may have had a longer or more layered history than a simple post-medieval cillín would imply. The axe-mould is a particularly curious detail; such objects, used in the casting of metal axe-heads, are occasionally found in early medieval contexts and hint at activity on or near the site that has nothing to do with burial at all.

There is nothing to see at Kilcronat today. The platform has been levelled, the stones are gone, and the ground is in tillage. The place survives only in the record Power made in 1951 and in the gap left by its own erasure.
