What makes it stranger still is the local tradition that holds this to be a children's burial ground, one of those liminal spaces found across Ireland where unbaptised infants were laid to rest outside consecrated ground. These sites, sometimes called cillíní, occupy an uneasy place in the landscape and in memory, neither fully acknowledged nor entirely forgotten.

The enclosure itself measures approximately 25 metres in diameter, and what little can be examined of its enclosing wall suggests a stone bank built from limestone boulders, around 1.8 metres wide. The external face stands roughly 0.6 metres high at the north-east, while the interior face is considerably lower, between 0.3 and 0.4 metres. By the time the Ordnance Survey mapped the area in 1838, a circular embanked enclosure was already recorded here. A later edition from 1931 shows a penannular form, meaning the enclosure is broken rather than fully closed, open to the north-west, and by that point its walls had been partly absorbed into the surrounding field boundaries. The enclosure sits at the steep break of slope on the south-west side of the ridge, where the bank merges with the natural fall of the ground, making it difficult to say with certainty where deliberate construction ends and topography begins.

The dense overgrowth of blackthorn that now fills and surrounds the site means the interior remains largely unexamined. Limestone boulders or outcrops of bedrock break through what appears to be a relatively level floor, but little else can be confirmed from the outside. The ridge position does afford wide views across the surrounding landscape, which may or may not have been a consideration for whoever first built here.
