No headstones break the surface, no enclosure wall marks the boundary, and nothing visible distinguishes this ground from the surrounding farmland. Yet the place has a name, and names in the Irish landscape tend to preserve what the ground itself no longer shows.

The site belongs to a category of burial place known in Irish tradition as a cillín, an informal, unconsecrated cemetery used for unbaptised infants and occasionally others considered ineligible for church burial under Catholic canon law. Such places are scattered across the Irish countryside in their hundreds, often located at field margins, beside old boundaries, or near ancient earthworks, and they were used quietly, without ceremony or official record, well into the twentieth century. This particular site was recorded by O. Davies in 1948, who noted that it was locally known as the Caldragh Field. The name "Caldragh" is itself suggestive, likely deriving from the Irish "calldrach", a word associated with burial places or sacred enclosures, and it appears elsewhere in Ireland attached to sites of similar character. That a field name carried this association into the mid-twentieth century, even as the ground showed no physical trace of its past use, says something about the long persistence of local memory around places of this kind.
