Human bones were discovered in 1969 in the course of the widening of the Sligo – Bundoran road and the site was inspected by a member of the National Museum of Ireland (NMI file) who recorded that ‘12 metres from the apparent edge of the cemetery [SL014-016001-] a large approx. saucer-shaped deposit of burnt clay and stones and flecks of charcoal was visible at approx. the same level as the cemetery. The visible portion of this deposit measured 4 metres across and its bottom was 60cm below the road surface; it consisted of layers of burnt stones, patches of charcoal, layers of ash etc. and was apparently either a hearth or an ash pit. No artifacts were noted.’ The location of this monument is that recorded in the NMI file.
