What is recorded here

Gaulstown in Duleek Lower By. holds three dead from July 1938 when a sandpit exposed two extended bodies and one cremation. One burial carried a boar's tusk, the other a bowl, marking them as more than discarded bones. The sandpit took their shapes before people named them, but the gifts suggest they belonged somewhere and someone remembered how to place them.

In July 1938 three human skeletons were discovered in a sandpit near Balrath. Two extended burials accompanied by a boar's tusk and a cremation accompanied by a bowl (Cahill & Sikora 2011, vol 1, 357-359). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 28 February 2013
