What is recorded here

On a slight SW-facing slope. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area with some bushes (int. dims 23m NW-SE; 16m NE-SW) defined by the base of a double-faced stone wall (Wth 1.25-1.35m; max. H 0.65m) SE-W-NW. The monument is truncated at NE by a NW-SE field wall and does not survive to NE of this, but there is a stone-lined entrance (Wth 1.65m) at SSW. The interior has stone grave-markers and cairns from a children's burial ground (RO045-157002-), and a bullaun stone (RO045-157001-) (dims 0.4m x 0.3m; H 0.27m) with a single basin (diam. 0.22m; D 0.07m).
