It is a recorded monument, formally acknowledged as part of Ireland's archaeological heritage, yet almost nothing about it has made it into the public domain. No townland history, no associated church ruins, no list of inscribed stones or notable burials. The site sits quietly in the landscape while the paperwork, somewhere, waits to catch up.

Ireland has many such burial grounds, often referred to as killeens or old parish graveyards, whose records were compiled during field surveys but never fully processed or published. Some are pre-Norman in origin, attached to early Christian foundations that have long since vanished above ground. Others served as unconsecrated ground for the burial of unbaptised children, a practice that continued in rural Ireland into the twentieth century. Without the underlying research for Farmhill coming to light, it is difficult to say which tradition this particular site belongs to, or how far back its use extends. What is clear is that it was considered significant enough to record, and that the record itself is incomplete.
