Mapped in the early 1840s as a circular enclosure and labelled 'Kyle Burial Ground', it had already been noted as disused by the time the 1939 Ordnance Survey edition was produced. Today, no surface trace of it remains at all.

The site belongs to a category of burial ground found across Ireland known as a cillín, a term used for unconsecrated ground where unbaptised children were interred, typically in locations set apart from the parish churchyard. The circular form recorded on the nineteenth-century map is characteristic of these places, which were often sited within or near earlier enclosures, perhaps reflecting a long continuity of use that predates Christian burial practice. The name 'Kyle' derives from the Irish 'coill', meaning a wood or grove, which may point to the landscape character of the spot when it was in use. That the 1939 map already described it as disused suggests it had fallen out of active use well before the mid-twentieth century, and whatever physical markers once defined it, whether a low bank, a boundary ditch, or simple field stones, have since been absorbed into the surrounding land.
