In March 1942 human remains were discovered during roadworks on the Navan road. The site lay beside the road on the base of a steep incline. Seven burials were noted. They were extended and in a supine position, with their alignment varying from E-W and N-S (Cahill & Sikora 2011, vol 2, 505). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 11 March 2013
