What is recorded here

Fragments of an encrusted urn and fragments of a vase urn that was inverted over cremated bone (WX007-055001-) were found in the face of a gravel quarry in 1989. The cremation represented an adult female. (Ó Floinn 2011) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 16 March, 2012
