What is recorded here

Kilkere holds a graveyard immediately west of a possible church where bones emerged during the erection of an electricity pole in 1990. The discovery suggests people died and were buried beside a worship place long before modern wires cut the sky. What is certain is only the chamber, the pole and the bones; what is probable is that ordinary life still touched this quiet ground.
