What is recorded here

No new park, no lost child, no hidden victim. The facts point to one buried person, one time, one place. I can tell that story without inventing a warning or a victim.

In 1933 a human skeleton was uncovered at Fairhill in Galway city. The site was inspected by the Gardaí, the Coroner and Dr Shea of University College, Galway. The burial is reported as being at a depth of c. 1m in sandy soil, facing E, with the forearms laid across the chest. The teeth were apparently in perfect condition. The site was not visited by NMI personnel and the remains do not appear to have been retained (pers. comm. M. Cahill and M. Sikora, NMI).

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