Burial in Ardnasillagh, County Galway

What is recorded here

In February 1994 human remains were discovered at Ardnasillagh, near Oughterard, Co. Galway. The find was apparently reported to the Gardaí, who brought the remains to the Anatomy Department in University college, Galway. The find was not brought to the attention of the NMI while the remains were insitu, and there was therefore no opportunity to examine the site. No information is recorded as to the position of the skeleton when found (pers. comm. M. Cahill and M. Sikora, NMI).
