What had once been a subcircular enclosure, roughly 40 metres north to south and 50 metres east to west, defined by a field fence along its northern and eastern edges and a lane cutting through its southern half, was quietly erased from the landscape. Low mounds within the area, which may have marked individual graves, were removed along with everything else.

The site had already been shrinking on paper before it disappeared on the ground. The 1842 six-inch Ordnance Survey map records the full extent of the enclosure, labelling it plainly as "site of Grave Yard". By the time the 1904 and 1937 editions of the same map series were produced, only the north-eastern quadrant was still being shown, suggesting that much of the ground had already been absorbed into agricultural use or was simply no longer legible in the landscape. Locally, the place was known as the "keel", a word derived from the Irish "cill", meaning a church or early ecclesiastical enclosure. That name points toward an origin in early Christian burial practice, when small, often oval or subcircular enclosures were established around a church or oratory, sometimes long before any formal parish structure existed. The name outlasted the physical evidence by some margin.

Nothing of the original enclosure is visible today. The site exists now only in the cartographic record and in the local placename, which quietly preserves a memory of what stood there.
