What is recorded here

A flat cemetery was discovered in 1959 with evidence for 7 -8 human skeletons running E-W and N-S including a possible infant. One of the burials may have been slab-lined, another in a crouched position. These were unaccompanied remains (NMI Topographical files, Cahill & Sikora 2011, 467). Now located within playing pitches which have been lowered and levelled relative to the surrounding topography. The skeletons were buried in the graveyard at Mulhuddart Church of Ireland.   Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 29 January 2015
