What is recorded here

Burial in St. Dominicks Abbey is a burial in St. Dominicks Abbey, County Tipperary, Ireland. A 2000 excavation near Dominic Street uncovered three partially hidden burials between the friary church and the town wall. The bodies faced northwest to southeast, and a later ditch cut the southernmost one. Workers recorded the remains and left them in the ground because they likely belong to a larger burial area.

An excavation was carried out in 2000 which fronts onto Dominic Street on the W, with St Dominic's friary church forming the northern boundary of the site and the town wall forming the southern boundary. A two-storey stone building stands on the line of the former town wall on the SW side of the breach (O'Donnell 2002, 313). The remains of three burials were partially uncovered. They were recorded as found and left in situ, as they are probably part of a larger area of burials/interments. They were orientated NW-SE, and the southernmost burial had been cut by a later ditch which appears to be a fosse associated with the town wall.
