Marked on the 3rd edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, this site holds no visible traces above ground, its significance preserved only through local memory and historical documentation rather than physical monuments or markers.

These types of burial grounds, known in Irish as cillíní, served a specific and often heartbreaking purpose in Irish communities. They were typically reserved for unbaptised infants, stillborn babies, and young children who, according to the strict religious customs of the time, could not be buried in consecrated ground. The gentle slope towards Lough Eske would have provided a peaceful, if segregated, resting place for these youngest members of the community, set apart from the main churchyards but still watched over by those who remembered them.

The site at Greenan represents one of many such burial grounds scattered throughout Ireland, each telling a story of social customs, religious doctrine, and family grief. While the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983, provides the scholarly record of this location, the absence of surface features means that without local knowledge or historical maps, one could walk across this sloping pasture without ever knowing the sacred nature of the ground beneath. It stands as a quiet testament to the countless unnamed children who rest here, their memory preserved in the landscape even as their individual stories have faded with time.
