Four of the burials were overlain by the original N-S drive into Teaguestown House, and there were two definite and two possible double interments. The high instance of dental caries suggests a post-medieval date. (Delany 2008; Delany and O'Hara 2009, 3:2, 4:1) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 9 July, 2019
