What is recorded here

Situated in a level landscape. A few sherds of a vase urn with incised decoration and cremated bone representing an adult and an infant were found in a cist in January 1935 and are now in the NMI. The cist was in a field bank, but only the capstone (dims 0.84m x 0.53m; T 0.2m) remained when it was investigated (Cahill and Sikora 2011). (Waddell 1970, 133; 1990, 146) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 20 March, 2012.
