Recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1841 to 1842 as a roughly square plot measuring approximately 35.5 metres north to south and 36 metres east to west, the same ground appears on the equivalent map from 1939 as a noticeably different form, now roughly circular and somewhat larger, at around 45 metres by 42 metres. Both versions carry the same label: Grave Yard.

The shift in recorded outline over roughly a century could reflect changes in how the boundary was maintained, how the surveyor interpreted it, or how the land itself was managed across that period. What adds another layer of interest is the local name that ran alongside the official one. People in the area knew this as the "church field", a phrase that quietly suggests an older ecclesiastical presence on or near the site, though no church is named or described in what survives. In rural Ireland, the term "church field" often attaches itself to ground where a medieval parish church or early Christian enclosure once stood, and the circular outline that appears by 1939 is itself suggestive: many early Irish ecclesiastical enclosures were laid out in roughly circular or oval form, and that shape can persist in field boundaries long after any structure above ground has disappeared.
