No wall, no hollow, no scatter of stones suggests that anything was ever interred here. The ground gives nothing away.

What is known comes largely from cartographic evidence, and even that is thin. The site does not appear on the Ordnance Survey maps made between 1841 and 1842, which were among the most thorough surveys of the Irish landscape ever undertaken. By 1939, however, a later OS map marks the location as "Kyle Burial Ground (site of)", the parenthetical already acknowledging that whatever had been here was gone or unverifiable. Children's burial grounds of this kind, known in Ireland as cilliní, were informal, unconsecrated plots used for the interment of unbaptised infants, who were excluded by Catholic practice from burial in consecrated ground. They were typically marginal places, set at field boundaries, beside water, or on the edges of townlands, and they were rarely given formal markers. The fact that this one was noted at all on the 1939 map, even as a "site of", suggests some local memory persisted into the twentieth century that has since faded entirely from the surface of the place.
