Inside it stand two cross-slabs, and the ground they mark was once used to bury children. This is a calluragh, the Irish term for a burial place set apart from consecrated ground, most commonly associated with unbaptised infants who, under Catholic teaching as it was long practised, could not be interred in a parish cemetery. These sites are found across Ireland, often in liminal spots, on boundaries, beside water, or at the edges of settled land, and this one occupies exactly that kind of in-between place, neither within the village nor entirely separate from its life.

Children were still being buried here into the early nineteenth century, according to the Ordnance Survey Name Books for Cloghane, which recorded local knowledge during the mapping surveys of that period. The enclosure's name in Irish, An Cheallúnach, derives from the same root as calluragh. Its location on the mountain slope may not be accidental. The ancient pilgrim path from Cloghane to the summit of Brandon Mountain passes through Faha village below, and the archaeologist Peter Harbison has suggested a possible connection between the calluragh and that long-established pilgrimage route. Whether the proximity shaped how the site was understood by local communities, or simply reflects the density of sacred geography in this part of the Dingle Peninsula, is difficult to say, but the two cross-slabs inside the enclosure suggest the place carried more than purely practical significance.
