What is recorded here
Killeany Castle overlooks bones the Grand Jury tossed aside when paving a road, proving progress often means eating the dead to feed the living.
Unlocated graveyard at Killeany that the Grand Jury built a road through in the nineteenth century, burials from which were re-buried near Killeany Castle which were later uncovered.
