Slab-lined burial in Hoddersfield

In tillage, on N-facing slope. Excavated by O'Kelly (1955) who found stone-lined grave (L 2.1m; max. Wth 0.56m; max. H 0.54m) containing bones of 'tall strongly-built adult male'. He suggests an Early Christian date based on E-W orientation of cist and absence of accompanying objects. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
