Burial ground in Sliguff

Burial ground

What is recorded here

Young adult male bones in a shallow west-east pit and juvenile skull fragments surfaced during quarrying in Sliguff, County Carlow, in June 2001. The buried bodies may have belonged to a family, a travelling group or someone the community forgot. Stone, soil and silence kept what ordinary life stopped remembering.
