What is recorded here

Courtnaboghilla holds a shallow grave where a person lay face-up, aligned east to west, waiting for the world to stop turning. A bulldozer broke that patience in 1958, scattering most of the bones before anyone knew the field had kept a dead body. What remains is not a monument but a mistake made visible: human life was there, measured in centimetres of soil, and forgetting required machinery.

In a subrectangular enclosure (KK025-003----). Human bones were discovered during bulldozing operations in 1958. Most of the bone was disturbed but according to reports some remains were buried in a supine position, aligned E-W, at a depth of 0.3-0.6m below ground level.

A subrectangular funerary enclosure, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age; its significance lies in the rare survival of human remains, despite disturbance, offering insight into burial practices of the period.
