What is recorded here
At the E end of a much-quarried hummock in undulating grassland. This childrens' burial ground is defined by a roughly L-shaped unenclosed area (L 9m; Wth 4.3m) within which numerous set limestone blocks indicate graves aligned E-W. Quarrying has encroached upon it at NW. (O’Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 488)
