No headstones remain, no earthwork marks the spot for a passing walker, and the ground gives nothing away. What the 1947 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map quietly recorded as a "Children's Burial Gd. (Disused)" has since lost every visible surface trace.

The site sits within a rath, a type of circular earthwork enclosure, typically dating to the early medieval period, that served as a farmstead boundary. Raths are found in their thousands across Ireland, but they were also frequently chosen in later centuries as locations for the burial of unbaptised infants, a practice rooted in the theological position that children who died before baptism could not be interred in consecrated ground. These informal burial sites, sometimes called cillíní, were often placed at liminal or ancient spots in the landscape, including prehistoric earthworks, old field boundaries, and shorelines. The Springfield example follows that pattern precisely, tucked within an existing rath whose own origins likely predate the burials by well over a thousand years.
