Fitzgerald (1903-05, 370-1) recorded that this site was used as a burial ground for unbaptised children and described the site as following; 'The land for some distance around is never tilled, as the building is said to have been a chapel (KD038-048----) in ancient times; and though no graves now exist, yet unbaptized children are interred here'.
