The first phase of monitoring of a residential development in Lisnamuck and Templemichael Glebe townlands in 2006 revealed what the excavator interpreted to be a cremation pit. The pit (c. 45m; D 0.15m) was sub-oval in shape, with concave sides leading to a flattish base. It was filled with dark brown silty clay, mottled with pale brown naturally occurring subsoil, packed with charcoal and burnt bone. The material within the pit was retained for archaeo-osteological analysis. A second pit (0.7m E-W; 0.3m E-W) filled with mid-brown loose topsoil lay 0.3m to the SW. (Giacometti 2006, 7; 2009, 339).
