What is recorded here

Pit-burial in Glenacunna (Garrangibbon parish) is a pit-burial in Glenacunna (Garrangibbon parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. A circular pit about 0.75m across held the cremated remains of one adult and was partly or wholly lined with small slabs or dry stone. It lies about 12m east of a double cist burial, suggesting a Bronze Age date through that nearby association. Bulldozing in 1975 badly disturbed the grave in undulating pasture.

In undulating pasture. During bulldozing activilty in 1975 a pit grave was badly disturbed (Twohig 1976, 61, 68). It is located c. 12m E of a double cist burial (TS078-013001-). The pit appeared to be circular (diam. 0.75m) and was partially or wholly lined with small slabs and/or dry stone walling. It contained the cremated remains of one adult. Based on its association with the nearby cist it is probably Bronze Age in date. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
