A roughly semicircular patch of ground, measuring around thirteen metres at its widest, it consists of grass-covered stones and headstones that carry no names, no dates, no inscriptions of any kind. It sits immediately to the south of a medieval church, within what survives of an ecclesiastical enclosure, and it was significant enough to be marked on the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of both 1842 and 1920, named plainly as "Grave Yard" and indicated with a broken line. That broken line feels apt. The place is, as the record puts it, hardly traceable.

What gives the site its particular character is the tradition recorded by Swinfen in 1992. Writing then, she noted a local memory that children had been buried in this ground up to forty or fifty years before her time, placing the practice somewhere in the mid-twentieth century. This connects the site to a wider Irish tradition of children's burial grounds, sometimes called cilliní, which were spaces set aside outside consecrated ground for unbaptised infants and others who could not, under Catholic practice, be interred in the parish cemetery. Such grounds are often found at the edges of ecclesiastical sites, sometimes reusing much older sacred spaces. Whether the Ballyline ground fits precisely into that tradition the available evidence does not confirm, but the combination of uninscribed stones, a location within an ancient enclosure, and the memory of child burials places it firmly within that broader and quietly sorrowful landscape of marginal burial in Ireland.
