What is recorded here

In 1939, during excavation works by the ESB in advance of flooding an area for a hydro-electrical scheme, cremated human teeth and pottery fragments were discovered, but were removed from their context before they could be examined archaeologically. The remains were acquired by the NMI. (Cahill and Sikora 2011, Vol. 2, 452) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 24 July 2012

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
