Located at the top of a steep W-facing slope down to the N-S River Barrow/Nore and within the bank of ring-work (WX039-028001-), while the site of a leper hospital (WX039-028005-) is c. 80m to the NW. Burials in a disturbed state were uncovered along a N-S trench in 1979. The burial of two adults, a male and a female that was protected in a stone compartment, was investigated (Cahill 2011). The grave (int. dims c. 2.1m; Wth 0.3-0.5m; H c. 0.4m) had mortared stone sides covered by one or two slabs and slabs also formed the floor, creating a form of sarcophagus. The skeletal material was sparse, but neither showed evidence of leprosy.
