In improved pasture, in highest part of field, at terminus of broad ridge (general long axis NNE-SSW). Flood plain of River Suir in field to N and W. No visible surface trace. According to OSL (Vol. 1, 314), the graveyard (TS060-030003-) was no longer in use except for the internment of children. John Davis White (1892, 16) confirms that 'at no distant period, unbaptized infants have been buried here.' Named 'Killeen' on latest edition OS 6-inch map. According to Meskell (2003, 16) land reclamation work in the mid 1980s removed all traces of the graveyard. At the time of the reclamation quantities of stone and human bones were uncovered (ibid.). According to local information this graveyard had been used as a burial ground for unbaptised children up to c. 1920 (ibid.).
