Situated in the fosse of the D-shaped enclosure (CL029-009) around St Michael’s Church (CL029-009) on Inis Cealtra. Excavations in the 1970s (licence no. E000180) revealed a burial cut into the fosse of the enclosure. Post-excavation work in 2015 yielded a radiocarbon date range of Cal AD 1024-1163 (UBA-30142). The burial is possibly of a female aged 25-35. (Seaver and O’Sullivan 2015, 11-14, 35) Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 19 July 2016
