The markers, some standing upright and others lying flat, are uninscribed limestone slabs, regularly spaced about 0.7 metres apart and oriented roughly north to south. There is no enclosing wall, no ditch, no formal boundary of any kind, just a roughly square plot of ground, not quite twelve metres across, where children were laid without public record or ceremony.

Places like this were once a quiet fixture of the Irish rural landscape. Known variously as cillíní, killeens, or children's burial grounds, they served as resting places for infants who had died unbaptised and were therefore, under Catholic doctrine as it was then applied, considered ineligible for consecrated ground. The prohibition meant that families buried these children in marginal spaces, often at parish or townland boundaries, near the ruins of early medieval churches, or in unconsecrated corners of fields. The location at Curragh More, close to a townland boundary, fits this pattern precisely. The site is documented by O'Flanagan as early as 1927 and noted again by Melvin around 1971, suggesting it was recognised and recorded across several generations. The limestone markers, plain and uniform, are typical of such sites, where the impulse to mark a grave existed but formal inscription was either impractical or considered unnecessary.
