Inside, three or four rows of small plain stones align north to south, each about sixty centimetres long, fifteen centimetres wide and no more than thirty centimetres high, with no names or ornament to identify the children they mark.
At the SE end of a low NW-SE ridge. Rectangular grass-covered area (int. dims 20.5m NW-SE; 12.5m NE-SW) defined by field walls at NW and NE and concrete walls at SE and SW. Three or four rows of grave markers (max. dims c. 0.6m x 0.15m; H 0.3m) are aligned N-S. (Timoney 1995, 8)
