Pit-burial in Camlin

Pit-burial

Why this matters

Pit-burial in Camlin is a single inhumation burial, likely dating to the Early Christian period. Its significance lies in providing insights into burial practices and settlement patterns in the region during this time.

What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of a S-facing slope of Camlin Hill, with an E-W section of a SE-NW stream c. 100m to the S. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass (Doyle et al. 2010, 32-3) identified a pit-burial (diam. 0.35m). A large oval pit (dims. 3.1m x 2.2m) with a boulder in the fill was just S of the pit-burial, and the boulder was visible on the surface. The pit (diam. 0.35m) with an inverted urn was excavated (E4104) as Camlin 3 when it was block-lifted for conservation (Hackett 2010; Hackett 2013).
