What is recorded here

Test excavations on a development N of the Royal Hospital in 2002 uncovered a pit burial (Walsh 2004, 169). The Food Vesssel sat in an unprotected pit (L0.59m, Wth 0.5m). There was no evidence of a cist or mound (Walsh 2004, 169).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
