What is recorded here
Kilbride in County Dublin, Ireland holds two sepulchral vessels and calcined bones recovered from the Liffey valley. The exact burial spot has vanished, but the clay and bone still belong to someone the river claimed. Perhaps a child, lover or thief was laid there before the water took the marker. The valley keeps what measurement loses.
The Wakeman Collection Catalogue (No. 176, NMI) describes two sepulchral vessels and calcined bones from the valley of the Liffey near Kilbride. Not precisely located.
Bronze Age burial; dates to approximately 2000–700 BCE. The presence of sepulchral vessels and calcined bones indicates a cremation burial, reflecting early funerary practices in the region.
