Burial in Cappagh

In May 1988 an inhumation burial was discovered during the removal of a field fence on a farm. It had a covering of limestone pebbles and appears to have been in an unlined grave. No accompanying artifacts were found. The human remains represented an adult, probably male. Two samples were giving dates of 275+-40 BP and 245 +- BP which calibrate to AD 1480-1800 and AD 1510-1950 respectively (NMI).

A simple inhumation burial, likely dating to the Early Christian or medieval period, indicating local funerary practices without significant material accompaniment. Its lack of artifacts limits broader archaeological significance.
