What is recorded here

Kildare still keeps a green burial ground untouched because people remember the dead beneath it. In 1990, a field bank exposed a skull, bone fragments, animal remains and charcoal-like matter, giving visible proof to the local warning. The land may have swallowed families, travellers or forgotten victims, but its boundary is clear: leave the green space alone.

In 1990, human remains comprising a skull and skeletal fragments were noticed in the section face of an earthen field boundary. The remains were apparently lying in a depression in the field bank and were associated with some animal bone and a thin stratum of charcoal-like matter. The field to the E contains a green space which is known locally as a burial ground, which consequently has not been developed.
