Burial in Nenagh North is a burial in Nenagh North, County Tipperary, Ireland. In November 1964, human remains appeared within fifteen centimetres of the ground during road works at Church View, a small street running west from Pearse Street beside the modern Church of Ireland. The bones were disarticulated, had no objects beside them, and were buried again without marking the exact spot.
Unlocated burials at Church View, Nenagh (Cahill & Sikora 2011, vol. 2, 516-7). The files of the National Museum of Ireland records that in November 1964 Gardai at Nenagh reported the discovery of human remains during ESB works at Church View, Nenagh, close to the modern Church of Ireland. The exact location was not reported, but Church View is a cul de sac running west off Pearse Street south and east of the Church of Ireland. It is situated just north of the Anglo-Norman Castle (TN020-037001). No precise information was available at the time of discovery but according to Gardai the bones were not more than 0.15m below ground, and appeared to be disarticulated. No associated artefacts were discovered, and the remains were reburied (NMI File). Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload / revision : 07 December 2010
