In pasture, on a W-facing slope, with views to The Paps of Dana. A raised square area (21m N-S; 21m E-W), covered by overgrowth, enclosed by a stone wall. Some early 20th-century inscribed grave-markers were noted, as well as four plain white metal crosses and many uninscribed grave-markers of unknown date, mainly in the W half. The burial ground is known locally as a 'cillín'. According to Dennehy (1997, 154), this is now a burial ground for local families. As it is named 'Burial Ground for Children' on the 1846 OS 6-inch map, Dennehy suggests that its use as a burial ground for adults did not begin until after that date (ibid.).
