What is recorded here

In 1956, the Leinster Leader newspaper reported the discovery of two well-preserved skeletons in a Kildare County Council sandpit. A later Garda report stated that four skeletons were found at a depth of some 0.6m below ground level, lying extended N-S in a supine position; three parallel to one another and the fourth 'in a crosswise position'. The precise location of the burials is unknown. (Cahill and Sikora 2011, Vol 2, 483) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

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

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
