The files of the National Museum of Ireland records that in February 2000 human remains were discovered during quarrying operations at Derrygarran, Co. Laois (Cahill & Sikora 2011, Vol. 2, 489-90). The site was reported to the Gardaí at Portlaoise, but the National Museum was not informed until April of that year. The site had previously been inspected by the State Pathologist, Professor John Harbison, and his analysis of the bones indicated that they were the remains of a young adult aged 18 to 25 years at death. A site investigation was carried out by Mary Cahill in April. The skeleton was apparently found at the base of the topsoil, at a depth of 0.3-0.45m below the original ground level. There was no indication of the presence of other burials on the site and it was not possible to investigate the find place of this burial as the area had been completely disturbed. The remains (2000:11) were handed over to the Museum by Professor John Harbison (NMI File). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload / revision : 10 August 2012

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
