It is the kind of place that appears on official lists of monuments, assigned a classification and a grid reference, yet remains largely mute on the question of what it actually is, or was.

Kilbree is a townland name with early ecclesiastical associations, the prefix "Kil" deriving from the Irish "cill", meaning a church or monastic cell, suggesting that the area had some religious or funerary significance long before any formal record was made. Burials associated with such places range enormously in date and character, from early Christian cist graves, in which the body was placed in a stone-lined pit, to prehistoric cairns or simple unlined interments that can predate written history by several millennia. Without more specific detail, it is not possible to say which category this site belongs to, or whether any physical surface feature remains visible today.
