On the level plateau of a limestone ridge, in lush pasture. Indicated in the angle of two field boundaries on the 25-inch OS map and the 1921 6-inch OS map and named Killoghan Children’s Burial Ground. A subtriangular area (26m WNW-ESE; 18m NNE-SSW) defined by a bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.25m; Wth at top 2.3m; overall Wth 7.3m) SE-S, open S-WSW and defined by a linear bank which appears to be incorporated into an earth and stone field boundary (H 0.5-0.75m) to NW and NE. The interior is partially grass covered and is dominated by scrub consisting of whitethorn and briars. There are low, uninscribed gravemarkers (H 0.2-0.4m; L0.3-0.6m) within the scrub area along with some loose stone, which may derive from field clearance. A short portion of field boundary extends (long-axis NW-SE) from the N corner of the monument.
