Burial in Yellowbatter

Burial

What is recorded here

Yellowbatter is a buried chamber in County Louth where forgotten lives still breathe beneath concrete and road noise. Men dug there in 1951, broke the skin of the world, and dropped their tools when the darkness answered back. They sealed the hole quickly, not from fear of ghosts but fear of remembering what the chamber wanted them to see.
Human remains discovered during the clearing of a building site at Crushrod Lane, Drogheda (exact location not recorded) in June 1951. The remains were reburied in St. Peter's graveyard, Drogheda. (Cahill and Sikora 2011, vol. 2 496-7). The precise location of these discoveries is unknown. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 27 February 2013
