Cill (site of) is a burial ground in Lyre East (decies Without Drum By.), County Waterford, Ireland. It occupies a subcircular scrub-covered area 30 metres from northeast to southwest and 27 metres from northwest to southeast on a northwest-facing slope. A one-metre-high scarp runs southwest to northeast, a stone-faced bank runs northeast to south, and a straight field bank completes the edge. The 1999 inventory recorded no evidence of actual burial there.
