No headstone, no enclosing wall, no earthwork or hollow in the ground. It sits somewhere on a north-west-facing slope of pasture, and the grass grows over it as it does everywhere else on the hillside. The land carries the dead without any outward acknowledgement of the fact.

This near-total absence of surface trace is not as unusual as it might seem. Many early Irish burial grounds, particularly those associated with unbaptised children or with pre-Christian communities, were left without permanent markers, and centuries of agricultural use, soil movement, and general weathering have erased what little may once have been visible. Oldcourt itself is a placename with roots in the Irish word for a fort or enclosure, suggesting the area has a long history of human activity, though the burial ground has not been formally linked to any particular period or community. What is recorded is simply its presence, its location on a working pasture slope, and the fact that nothing of it can currently be seen from the surface.
