See Cahill and Sikora (2011, Vol. 2, 43); 'A week after the excavation [of KE004-062----], Lilian Nolan, one of the finders, rang to report the discovery of a second cist by a local who deliberately went searching for it. It had since been covered up by the Gardaí, however, and it was decided to leave investigation of the cist to a later date.' Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 28 January 2013
