What is recorded here

In the late 19th-century, Knowles (1889-91, 616) found human bones exposed in the sand dunes on the Ross peninsula. He recorded them as followings: "I found the greater part of a human skeleton lying across a hearth, but the skull was gone." The bones were located within the remains of a hut site, one of several (MA11-059002-) associated with a midden (MA015-059001-). The exact location of the find was not recorded.

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.
