Labelled simply as 'Children's Burial Ground', the site has since vanished from the surface entirely, leaving only the cartographic annotation as evidence that it was once recognised and named by those who knew the landscape.

The burial ground sits within a rath, a type of enclosed farmstead of early medieval origin, typically defined by one or more circular earthen banks and ditches that once surrounded a dwelling and its associated outbuildings. The reuse of raths as burial grounds for unbaptised infants was a widespread practice across Ireland, rooted in the belief that these ancient, liminal enclosures occupied a space outside ordinary Christian consecrated ground. Such sites were known variously as cillíní or knockanes, and they served communities who could not inter unbaptised children in parish graveyards under Catholic ecclesiastical convention. That this particular example was considered significant enough to be named on the first edition of the six-inch Ordnance Survey map suggests it was a known and used site in the 1830s, even if the physical traces have since been lost to agriculture or time.
