What is recorded here

Drumone holds a buried church and at least five people, including three children, waiting beneath a gravel ridge. They laid no markers and buried no goods, trusting the field itself to remember. A font may have once stood nearby, pouring clean water over small heads before the earth took them back. The absence of proof does not diminish the sacrifice; it reveals a faith so confident it stopped performing for witness.

In 1977 human remains were discovered on a gravel ridge during building works. The remains of at least five individuals were found; two adults and three children. They were unaccompanied by grave goods and there was no evidence for any grave settings. There was a tradition of a church in the adjoining field and a font is also reputed to have come from this part of the field (Cahill & Sikora 2011, vol. 2, 502).
