Recorded monuments

• DG039-012 Flat cemetery
  Description

  In 1950 'six cists containing cremated remains were found. One of the cists also contained an undecorated biconical miniature vessel (1956:428). The site was not investigated by NMI staff and the only report extant is that written by Garda B. McTernan. Ó Donnabháin and Brindley (1989-90, 19-20) reported that the bones associated with the miniature vesselwere those of a young adult female. A piece of unburnt antler was also found. The human remains have not been dated. Brindley (2007, 294) suggests that biconical miniature vessels date from c.1900-1800 BC.' (Cahill and Sikora 2011, Vol. 1, 114).

• DG039-016 Pit-burial
  Description

  In close proximity to a flat cemetery (DG039-012----) which was uncovered in the 1950s (Lacy et al. 1983, 65). In 1998 local archaeological field–walkers identified a pit burial in a quarry face from which they gathered quantities of bones and some pottery. The area was investigated the following year by Halpin on behalf of the National Museum of Ireland. He was unable to precisely locate the monument but suggested that a large slab in the vicinity of the location indicated may have covered a pit burial. Some fragments of cremated bone were discovered in the spoil. The shreds of pottery collected in 1998 are the fragmentary remains of a bipartite bowl (1999:382).
