No names mark them. The site, known in Irish as Ceallúnach na bPíobairí, translates roughly as the burial ground of the pipers, though its recorded purpose was rather different: it served as a resting place for children and, notably, for adult strangers.

Such sites are known across Ireland as cillíní, informal burial grounds used for those who, for various reasons, could not be interred in consecrated ground. Unbaptised infants were the most common occupants, excluded by Church doctrine from sanctified cemeteries, and so communities quietly maintained these marginal spaces at the edges of bogs, on ancient boundaries, or near the sea. The inclusion of adult strangers at this particular site is a less common detail; it speaks to a practical, if melancholy, extension of the same logic, providing burial for those who arrived unknown and died without local parish ties. The Ordnance Survey Name Books, compiled in the nineteenth century as surveyors mapped and recorded Ireland's townlands, noted this dual purpose explicitly. The site itself measures roughly twelve metres north to south and sixteen metres east to west, and a short section of drystone facing survives at the north-west, rising to just under a metre in height, possibly a remnant of an original revetment wall that once defined the enclosure more clearly.
