What is recorded here

Creminated bones and two pottery urns emerged from the Liffey valley near Kilbride, preserved in sherds rather than forgotten. William Wilde received them in 1873 from Rev. Scott Moore, a local landowner, turning private discovery into public memory. The dead had been burned, buried, lost and found again, waiting for hands willing to see them.

A collection of cremated bone, including one cranium and 31 sherds of pottery representing two cinerary urns were found in the Liffey valley, near Kilbride and presented on the part of Rev. Scott Moore, a local landowner by William Wilde in 1873 (NMI 1873:29; Mount 1989, 46, M. A. Thesis unpub. ). Not precisely located.

Bronze Age cremation burial; dates to approximately 1000–700 BCE. The find is significant as it provides evidence of funerary practices involving cremation and the use of cinerary urns in the Liffey valley during the Bronze Age.
