Two low stone uprights protrude from the western wall, half-absorbed into the drystone fabric around them, the closest thing to grave markers that remain. The interior is entirely overgrown. This is a cillín, a children's burial ground, a category of site found across Ireland where unbaptised infants were interred outside the bounds of consecrated ground. Catholic doctrine, as it operated for centuries in rural Ireland, held that the unbaptised could not be buried in churchyards, and so families carried their children to liminal places, old earthworks, townland boundaries, and enclosures like this one.

The site carries the Irish name Cill na gCimóg, tentatively interpreted as such, which loosely suggests a small church or cell associated with the diminutive form, though the precise etymology remains uncertain. The enclosure is subrectangular in plan, measuring roughly 16.85 metres on its north to south axis, and is defined by a drystone wall approximately 1.8 metres wide and a metre high. Drystone construction, that is, stonework built without mortar, is common in the west of Ireland and can survive for considerable time without maintenance, though here the wall is clearly deteriorating into the surrounding growth. About 140 metres to the north-north-west lies a holy well, a pairing that is not unusual in the Irish countryside, where sacred water sources and burial places of the marginalised often occupy the same quiet corridor of land.
