Burial ground in Lisdoo

Excavations in advance of a proposed residential development (Excavation Licence No. 04E1641) uncovered a shallow grave-cut containing a single inhumation burial orientated E-W. Additional human remains recovered from the ploughsoil around this grave indicate the presence of another disturbed burial in the immediate vicinity. No further excavation work was carried out.
