• KD003-007 Burial ground
  Description

  The OSL (Herity 2002, 33) records a second-hand report that, '… there was an old burial-place in Kilglass townland …'. In 1954, inhumation burials of seven individuals were discovered in a sandpit. Three burials had been disturbed, but four could be examined. All were extended inhumations in unprotected graves with the skeletal remains orientated NE-SW. (Cahill and Sikora 2011, Vol 2, 333-6) The sandpit was subsequently extended and the burial area may have been dug away. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
