No headstones, no kerbing, no humped earth, no trace at all of the people once buried there. What remains is a small triangular plateau, its three sides measuring roughly 34, 36, and 30 metres, sitting quietly in farmland. Without knowing what you were looking for, you would walk straight past it.

The site is that of the ancient parish church and graveyard of Mogeesha, a place name that carries more history than the ground currently shows. The church and its burial ground appear on the Down Survey, the ambitious mid-seventeenth-century mapping project that recorded land ownership across Ireland between 1655 and 1656, and at that time they occupied the very spot where Ballyannan Castle, a fortified house, was later built. Whether the construction of the castle displaced or simply overwhelmed the earlier ecclesiastical remains is not entirely clear, but by the time the antiquarian Power recorded a visit in 1923, he found, in his own words, "absolutely no remains" of either the church or the graveyard. The church itself has been catalogued separately as a distinct site nearby. The identification of the graveyard's precise location was made by researcher Paul MacCotter, who recognised the triangular plateau as the most plausible surviving trace of Mogeesha's lost burial ground.

The plateau is low-lying and unenclosed, with nothing on the surface to mark a grave or suggest a boundary. Its triangular shape, measured carefully, is the closest thing to evidence that this was ever a defined and deliberately bounded space.
