What is recorded here
Kilnagornan in County Kildare holds a shallow grave where a skeleton lay aligned north-south beneath the top-sod. The disused quarry exposed the burial in 1984, while a faint ditch marked the earth immediately northwest. The place still whispers that ordinary soil can hide an entire life when forgotten.
In 1984, an extended inhumation in a shallow grave immediately under the top-sod was exposed in the NE face of a small, disused quarry. The skeleton appeared to be aligned N-S. Immediately NW of the burial, a shallow ditch was visible in the quarry face.
