What is recorded here

In 1961, human remains were discovered during the bulldozing of a gravel ridge through which a road was being cut. According to reports, between five and seven skeletons were discovered at a depth of 0.5-0.6m below ground level, but had been reburied elsewhere before they could be archaeologically examined. The precise locations of the original burials and subsequent reinterments are unknown. (Cahill and Sikora 2011, Vol 2, 483) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 11 February 2013

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