No markers, no enclosure, no worn path toward a particular corner. The interior of this stone ringfort, a cashel being a type of ringfort built from dry-stone walling rather than an earthen bank, holds its secret entirely beneath the surface, or perhaps only in memory.

The site is recorded in local tradition as a cillín, the Irish term for an unconsecrated burial ground used for unbaptised infants and others excluded from churchyard burial under Catholic practice. Such places were used for centuries, often quietly and without ceremony, by families who had little choice in the matter. The choice of a pre-existing ancient enclosure like a cashel was not unusual; these structures carried a liminal quality in the landscape, neither fully domestic nor sacred in the Christian sense, which may have made them feel appropriate for burials that existed outside the formal rites of the Church. What distinguishes Fearagha is the complete absence of any visible surface trace, meaning that without the survival of oral tradition, the site would leave no physical indication of its function whatsoever.
