The files of the National Museum of Ireland records that in December 1938 human remains were discovered during works carried out by the Land Commission at Griffinstown, near Kinnegad, Co. Westmeath (Cahill & Sikora 2011, vol. 2, 520). The remains, apparently representing approximately four individuals, were in a poor state of preservation, and their disposition was not noted. The burials appear to have been unprotected and no associated artefacts were found. The site was apparently located c. 18m from a 'fort' but as a number of earthworks and ringforts are recorded in the townland, it is not possible to be more precise about the location of the burials (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.
