Burial in Drumrevagh

Burial

What is recorded here

A skeleton was uncovered in 1935 at this location in Drumrevagh townland when foundations were being laid for the construction of a house (NMI files /SMR file). It was reported in the Irish Independent (9th Nov. 1935) that 'The skeleton, enclosed in a box, now lies at the Garda barracks, Foxford, where daily hundreds of people come to view it.’.

A single burial from the early medieval period; its isolation and lack of associated monument make its wider significance uncertain.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
