Known locally as a cillin, this is a children's burial ground, one of hundreds scattered across Ireland where, for centuries, unbaptised infants and others excluded from consecrated ground were laid to rest. The church refused such children burial in parish cemeteries, and so communities found their own places, typically at liminal spots, old boundaries, or the margins of settled land. This one sits on a sub-rectangular patch of rough grazing, fenced off and kept by the local community, with a rock outcrop rising at its highest point.

The site appears on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map, which places it in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century for its formal cartographic recognition, though it is absent from earlier editions, suggesting either that it predates reliable mapping or that it was simply overlooked. Within the enclosure, numerous plain stone markers indicate individual graves, unadorned and without inscription. Near the entrance stands a single exception, a stone with a cross carved into its face, a small gesture of formal commemoration among otherwise unmarked ground. The community continues to maintain the site, which says something about the way these places are held in local memory, not as relics to be catalogued, but as ground that still belongs to somebody.
