The skeleton of an adult human was found in 1952 in a sand-pit (NMI). It was c. 2 feet [0.6m] under the surface and lay flat with the feet to the SE. The remains were not protected by any stones. This burial was not precisely located though it was stated to have been found on the top of a hillock close to Lough Labe.
