In 2004, portion of a pottery vessel containing fragments of cremated bone was found during a programme of unlicensed monitoring of topsoil-stripping at the Wyeth Medica Ireland facility at Littleconnell.

The vessel was initially removed from the site in a stabilised earthen block and later excavated in controlled laboratory conditions.
