The 1923 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked the site as a children's burial ground. It occupies a rectangular area measuring 18 metres east-west and 14 metres north-south on a steep northwest-facing slope above the Glenmore stream. A field bank bounds the north and east, while a low stone bank two metres wide and half a metre high bounds the south and west.

Marked 'Children's Burial Ground' only on the 1923 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in woodland on a steep NW-facing slope overlooking the N-S Glenmore stream at a point where it turns W. This is a rectangular area (dims. 18m E-W; 14m N-S) defined by a field bank at N and E, and by a low stone bank (Wth 2m; H 0.5m) at S and W. Some stones in the interior may be grave-markers.
