Beneath the surface, or so tradition holds, lie the remains of children, buried within the bounds of a rath that has since been levelled almost completely flat. No headstones, no earthworks, no visible trace of any kind survives above ground.

The site sits within what was once a rath, a type of circular earthwork enclosure typical of early medieval Ireland, usually constructed of raised banks and ditches and associated with farmsteads of that period. This particular example has been so thoroughly levelled that it leaves no surface impression. The children's burial ground recorded here is what is sometimes called a cillín, an informal, unconsecrated burial place used historically for unbaptised infants and others considered ineligible for interment in consecrated ground. Such sites are often found at ancient earthworks, boundaries, or liminal landscape features, locations already carrying a sense of separateness from ordinary use. Here, the rath itself is gone as a visible feature, and the burial ground within it survives only as local knowledge, passed down rather than marked out.
