What is recorded here

Burial in Trasgarve is a burial in Trasgarve, County Sligo, Ireland. Two partial human skeletons emerged during turf cutting on a northwest-facing blanket bog slope in the Ox Mountains in 1969. The bones lay east-west with feet pointing east, while one skeleton contributed most limb bones and the other added lower limb fragments that partly overlaid the first. No distinct grave structure or pit appeared within the surrounding peat.

On a NW-facing blanket bog-covered slope in the Ox Mountains. Two partial human skeletons were discovered in 1969 during turf cutting. The two skeletons were oriented E–W, with the feet to E. Skeleton One comprised most of the upper and lower limb bones but the skull and vertebrae were not recovered. Skeleton Two comprised only some of the lower limb bones, which partly overlay those of Skeleton One. No features or textural difference in the surrounding peat suggested a grave structure or pit.
