What is recorded here

In September 2010, the National Museum of Ireland were informed of the accidental discovery of burial remains. A subsequent inspection determined that during the bulldozing of the top of a low hill, the machine operator noticed bones in the disturbed soil and informed the authorities. Four human skulls were collected from the site, and it was thought likely that more burials may be present. (pers. comm. Padraig Clancy, NMI) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
