No gravemarkers survive, no obvious surface disturbance marks the spot; only a local tradition, passed on by Leo Morahan, keeps the memory of it alive.

The enclosure itself is identified as a possible rath, a type of circular earthwork that was typically used as a farmstead enclosure during the early medieval period in Ireland. Raths are found in great numbers across the Irish countryside, and many acquired layers of later folklore and use long after their original occupants were gone. Among the most poignant of these later associations is the cillín, a practice of burying unbaptised children, and sometimes others excluded from consecrated ground, in marginal or ancient locations. The identification of this particular site as a children's burial ground rests on oral communication rather than any physical evidence, which is not unusual; many such places were maintained largely through local memory rather than marked in any formal way, and that memory can thin and eventually vanish across generations.
