Two skeletons were discovered while digging for gravel. One was an extended inhumation of a young adult, aligned E-W, found 0.3m below present ground level. The hands were crossed over the left hip-bone and the feet appeared to have been tied together. No evidence of a burial mound or grave goods (OPW file).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
