This site is located in boggy pasture at the W end of the Black Valley, a short distance NE of the confluence of the Glashankilleen stream and the Cummeenduff river. It consists of a raised rectangular area, 15m N-S x 19m E-W, bounded on three sides by modern field walls. The interior is occupied by numerous uninscribed grave-markers, among which are ten small mounds, averaging 2.3m x 1.5m, which may cover graves. The site was in use as a children's burial ground up to the early twentieth century (local information).
