The interior is level pasture, indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland, and yet the earthen bank that curves around it, rising about a metre on the inside, and the carefully scarped edge completing the circuit, make plain that this space was set apart with some deliberation. The quiet is not incidental.

The site sits on a gently west-facing slope in Kilkinlea Lower, bounded on its northern arc by both the earthen bank and a stone wall that skirts the base of the scarp. When the antiquarian T. J. Westropp noted the site in 1904 to 1905, he could find nothing recorded about its history, and that appears to remain the case. What local tradition does supply is the suggestion that this is a famine burial ground, which would place its most intense use during the years of the Great Famine in the mid-nineteenth century. It has also been classified as a children's burial ground, a cillín in Irish tradition, meaning a plot used for the interment of unbaptised infants and others considered ineligible for consecrated ground. Such sites are found across Ireland, often circular, often on marginal or liminal land, and typically unmarked, reflecting both the theological exclusions of the period and the quiet grief of communities who had no other recourse.

The site is recorded in the National Monuments survey, compiled by Denis Power and uploaded in August 2011, but there is no formal public access or interpretation on the ground. Visitors looking for it should expect nothing more than the enclosing bank itself as a guide, and should be prepared for the fact that the interior offers no visible focal point. The form of the earthwork is the thing to observe: the way the bank and scarp together complete a deliberate circuit, containing a space that the land itself has since reclaimed.
