There are no headstones here, no mounds, no visible trace of burial at all. What remains is the shape of the enclosure itself, a D-shaped boundary, partially levelled, and the name the local community attached to it: Killeen.

A killeen, sometimes spelled cillin, was a type of informal burial ground used in Ireland for unbaptised infants and others considered ineligible for consecrated ground under Catholic Church practice. These small, often ancient enclosures were used quietly, generation after generation, and tend to survive more in local memory and field-names than in any official record. In the Garraun example, a survey conducted in the 1990s captured the local knowledge that this particular field "was a burial ground long ago", preserving the testimony of a community that had not forgotten what the land once held even as the physical evidence had largely disappeared. The levelling of the enclosure is thought to have happened during the removal of field boundaries, the kind of agricultural tidying-up that claimed many such sites across Ireland during the twentieth century. No grave-markers remain, and no graves are visible.
