What is recorded here

In October 1951 human remains were discovered during the construction of a new Garda Station at Cross Lane, New Ross. According to the Garda report the remains were found in quicklime in a shallow grave. The remains were found on the site of the old Bridewell or gaol of New Ross. As the disposition of the burial suggested that it was modern, it was not investigated the NMI. The remains were not acquired. (Cahill and Sikora 2011, vol. 2, 523) Compiled by: M. Cahill and M.
