Burial in Curraboy

In 1984 human bones were exposed here during ploughing. The remains were inspected on 2nd May 1984 by OPW personnel. A thigh bone, possible arm bones, fragments of rib, a shattered skull and a well preserved set of teeth were noted. The bones were scattered and displaced but appeared to have been come from an extended burial placed in a shallow pit (c. 2m NE-SW; c. 1m NW-SE). The burial appeared to be late in date, possibly Famine era. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 October 2013
