What is recorded here

At the crest of a WNW-ESE drumlin ridge. Described as a subrectangular area (dims 8m E-W; 6m N-S) defined by an earthen bank with small stone markers on the bank and with local information of its use as a children's burial ground (Gannon 1972). It is now a circular grass-covered platform (diam. of top c. 8m) defined by a scarp (0.5m) with some stones protruding through the sod. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
