• KD035-045001 Burial
  Description

  On a slight rise in undulating pasture. Human bones were unearthed at various times during the extraction of sand from a pit here, most recently in 1992. The burials, adult inhumations, are regarded locally as being the remains of people hanged in 1798 and may relate to the townland name (SMR File). The burial noted on the W edge of the pit (KD035-045001-) is possibly that of a mature adult. A second burial (KD035-045002-) was noted c. 70m away, on the E edge of the pit. The pit is not in use but deposits of fine sand are visible to the N. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 23 December 2013

• KD035-045002 Burial
  Description

  On a slight rise in undulating pasture. Human bones were unearthed at various times during the extraction of sand from a pit here, most recently in 1992. The burials, adult inhumations, are regarded locally as being the remains of people hanged in 1798 and may relate to the townland name (SMR File). The burial noted on the E edge of the pit (KD035-045002-) comprised a partial skeleton together with lumps of lime which may have been deposited to speed up decomposition. This area has since been grassed over. A second burial (KD035-045001-) was noted c. 70m away on the W side of the pit. The pit is not in use but deposits of fine sand are visible to the N.

• KD035-069 Burial
  Description

  In 1978, the NMI, excavated and collected the remains of four individuals (two adult males, one female and one of undetermined sex) from a shallow pit (dims. L 2.52m NW-SE; Wth 0.8m; D 0.28m) underneath a recently cleared field boundary. Two samples were subsequently radiocarbon-dated to between the 11th and 14th-century. It was suggested that the burials might be part of a larger cemetery. (Cahill and Sikora 2011, Vol 2, 49-51) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 11 February 2013
