The field is called 'The Cill', a word derived from the Irish term for a church or ecclesiastical cell, and the landowner knows it as a children's burial ground. Yet there is nothing to see. No wall, no grave marker, no earthwork. The site survives only as a name carried forward by the people who have farmed around it.

In 1934, a researcher named Bowman documented the location as a church site and burial ground, recording it in John Kelleher's land. Children's burial grounds of this kind, sometimes called cilliní, were used across Ireland for the interment of unbaptised infants and others considered ineligible for consecrated ground under Catholic practice. They were frequently sited at or near early ecclesiastical remains, and the field name here strongly suggests that some form of early Christian activity once took place. Whether any physical trace ever survived above ground, or whether it had already vanished by the time Bowman visited, is not recorded. By the time the site came to be formally catalogued, no visible surface evidence of either the church or the burials remained.
