What is recorded here

Excavations in 1988 to the S of the Ballyboughal Road on a N facing slope close to Gracedieu Nunnery (DU007-015001-) revealed the poorly preserved remains of 65 individuals, 7 of which were placed in stone-lined and covered graves (Gowen 1989, 15-16). This cemetery lay in the ESE quadrant of an oval double-ditched enclosure (inner ditch dims. Wth 2.2m, D 1.4m; outer ditch dims Wth 5m, 2.15m). A sherd of E-ware indicates an Early Medieval date (Gowen 1989, 16-17). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 16 April 2015
