What is recorded here

Situated c. 9m NW of the round tower (CL029-009010-) on Inis Cealtra. Excavations in the 1970s (licence no. E000180) revealed burials in this area (de Paor 2013), possibly linked to the earthen church (CL029-009139-). Post-excavation work in 2015 yielded radiocarbon dates of Cal AD 777-992 (UBA-27100) and Cal AD 725-979 (UBA-27101).
