The first edition six-inch OS map, produced in the mid-nineteenth century, shows a sub-circular area of trees roughly seventy metres north to south and eighty metres east to west, labelled plainly as "Old Grave Yard". Later revisions of the same map series simply omit it, leaving no mark, no label, no acknowledgement that it was ever recorded.

The disappearance of a site from official mapping does not mean the site itself has gone. Burial grounds described as "old" on the earliest OS maps were typically already long disused by the time surveyors visited them, often associated with early medieval ecclesiastical settlements or with pre-Famine rural communities whose parish arrangements had since shifted. The sub-circular shape noted here is worth remarking on: circular or near-circular enclosures are frequently associated with early Christian foundation sites in Ireland, where the curved boundary of an original monastic or church enclosure was preserved across centuries in field boundaries, tree lines, or the shape of a graveyard. Whether that is the origin of this particular enclosure is not recorded, but the form itself places it in a recognisable category of quietly persistent landscape features.
