Burial in Knockboy, County Tipperary

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

What is recorded here

Unlocated burials within townland. Reference in the National Museum files to a crouched burial found in this townland at a depth of three and a half feet (NMI Reg. 1A/107/54). This reference appears to relate to two skulls and a number of bones found during quarrying operations in 1942 (NMI correspondence). These burials may relate to other burials found in Knockboy townland (TS049-061----), though without locational information this cannot be confirmed.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS049-058
