In pasture, on N side of road. Subrectangular area (28m NW-SE; 30m NE-SW) enclosed on S side by low earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.15m) curving in SE angle, by substantial bank of earth and stone (H 1.1m) to W, by levelled bank (H 0.4m) to N and by new lane and earthen bank extending N from road, on E side. Interior slightly uneven; large depression in SE corner (9m x 13m; D 0.9m); no visible surface trace of burials or grave markers. Bowman (1934, 412) notes burial ground as 'oval-shaped... surrounded by a fence, at present about 6ft high and 12ft wide at the top in some places'. He also noted large mound ('45ft x 16ft x 4ft high') on W side with hole ('about 9 sq. yards and about 2ft deep') adjacent, said to have been dug by young man looking for buried treasure who died soon after. According to tradition, some of the slain were buried here after the Battle of Knocknanuss (14694) in 1647 (ibid.).
