Excavated (Licence no. E3918) in advance of the construction of the Tyrrelstown to N2 Link Road, this monument consisted of an irregular pit. (2m x 1.6m). It had been significantly disturbed by tree boles and the single fill included charcoal (alder, hazel) and small amounts of barley, false oat-grass tubers and grass. The cremated bone recovered was identified as that of an adult human (O’Hara R. 2008, 2). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 6 February 2015
