Unlocated burial within the townland of Parkmore (Cahill & Sikora 2011, vol. 2, 509). The files of the National Museum records that in March 1972 a human skull was discovered during quarrying operations in a gravel pit at Parkmore, near Birr, Co. Offaly. The information was obtained from Mr Michael Walsh of the Midland Tribune newspaper, who arranged to have the skull forwarded to the NMI. It was apparently found at a depth of 0.45m, and no further details were recorded (NMI file).
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.
