• OF031-070 Burial
  Description

  The files of the National Museum of Ireland records that in November 1968 human remains were discovered at a house called 'The Hermitage' near Kilcormac, Co. Offaly (Cahill & Sikora 2011, vol. 2, 506). This house is indicated on the current edition of the OS six inch map. The remains were discovered during excavations for a septic tank on the site of a dwelling house. The site was reported to the Gardai at Kilcormac who visited the site and removed the bones, stating that they were approximately 400 years old. The landowner, Mrs Maxwell, then reported the discovery to the NMI. According to the Garda who investigated the site, the remains were approximately 0.3m below ground level and did not constitute a complete human body. The site was kept under surveillance but was not investigated by the NMI. The remains were not acquired (NMI file).
