Dense scrub has long since swallowed whatever traces may once have been legible. What keeps it on the map at all is local memory: the land is held by tradition to be a cillín, a children's burial ground of the kind once found throughout rural Ireland.

Cillíní were informal, unconsecrated burial places used for unbaptised infants, and sometimes for others considered ineligible for formal Church burial, including suicides and strangers. They occupy a peculiar position in Irish cultural and religious history, sanctioned by neither Church nor state, sustained entirely by community practice and, eventually, community recollection. This site at Camas Uachtair fits that pattern precisely: no enclosure, no formal record of interments, no physical features that archaeology could easily confirm, only the knowledge passed down locally and noted by the writer and cartographer Tim Robinson, whose meticulous documentation of the human and natural geography of Connemara brought many such quietly remembered places into wider awareness. The site was recorded in Paul Gosling's 1993 inventory of west Galway's archaeological monuments, which noted it had not been physically inspected.

Because the site was never visited by surveyors and remains totally overgrown, there is little to report in the way of visible features. Its significance lies less in what can be seen than in what local knowledge has preserved, a placename, a tradition, a location near the sea that someone thought worth remembering and worth passing on.
