No church wall stands here, no carved stone or tower. All that remains of the ecclesiastical building once associated with the site is a low rectangular platform, roughly twenty metres by fifteen, waterlogged and barely legible in the landscape. The boundary of the graveyard is defined on one side by a road and on the other by a field fence, which is to say it survives more through accident of land division than through any deliberate preservation.

The burial ground at Ballinabanoge carries a particular kind of weight in the Irish historical record. Sites described as children's burial grounds, sometimes called cillíní, were typically used for those whom the Catholic Church would not admit to consecrated ground: unbaptised infants above all, but also, as appears to have been the case here, victims of drowning and shipwreck. The Ordnance Survey letters compiled by O'Flanagan in 1928 record it specifically as a children's burial ground, which points either to the ground never having been formally consecrated, or to the graveyard taking on this function after the associated church had long since fallen out of use. Local tradition adds another layer: it is said that shipwrecked sailors were buried here, which is consistent with the practice of interring drowning victims alongside unbaptised children in these marginal, liminal spaces. Just to the north lies St Iver's holy well, a reminder that this corner of Wicklow was once a place of some local religious significance, even if the institutional memory of it has largely dissolved into the fields.
