Description
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope, partly within early ecclesiastical enclosure (13884). Indicated on 1842 OS 6-inch map as arc (C c. 70m) NE->S, enclosing NW corner of field and named 'Children's Grave Yard'; indicated as larger subrectangular enclosure on 1905 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps, with field boundaries forming W and part of N side. Roughly D-shaped enclosure (straight side c. 57m E-W; projecting c. 30m to N) defined by low earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) SW->E, by linear N-S earthen bank which forms remainder of E side, by low linear earthen bank (L 57m) on S side. W end of S side continues beyond enclosure for short distance, stops short of W field boundary and turns N to form linear bank (H 0.25m) parallel to field boundary; bank fades out before joining N field boundary. No grave markers noted. Arc, SW->E forms part of enclosing element of early ecclesiastical enclosure. Bullaun stone (13918) on bank to NE; second bullaun stone (13919) on linear S bank. Corner of field, practically cut off from remainder by enclosure, area formed by both indicated as burial ground on 1905 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps.

- CO018-007004 Ecclesiastical enclosure
Description
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Oval enclosure (c. 90m ENE-WSW; c. 60m NNW-SSE) defined by earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) SW->NE and by cropmark of fosse NE->SW, visible in aerial photograph (J. Monk, March 1998). Inside enclosing bank and concentric to it is arc formed by low earthen bank (int. H 0.2m) WSW->NE. Interior raised, sloping gently down to S. Linear, N-S and E-W, banks cut off E and S sides of interior, respectively, from remainder; area formed by upstanding bank of enclosure SW->NE and by these two linear banks now form burial ground (14129). Bullaun stone (13918) on bank to NE; second bullaun stone (13919) on linear S bank of burial ground. Described by Power (1932, 86) as 'a space of perhaps an acre or more, roughly circular in outline, ...left untilled in an arable field'; he identifies Kilmaculla with Cill Mochuilli of the Crichad an Chaoilli (ibid., 86, 30), described as subsidiary church of the Tuath O Cuscraidh. St Mochuille said to be an older contemporary (6th century AD) of St Molaga of Aghacross (13873) and Labbamolaga (13887) (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 1, 15).
