Burial

What is recorded here

This burial was located on gently undulating ground which rises to a low ridge at the site. It comprises a slightly raised area, covered in trees. During quarrying in the area in the nineteenth century several skeletons and finds of bronze fibulae were uncovered here (Wakeman 1894). In 1989 archaeological excavations were carried out at the site prior to the construction of the Shankill/Bray By-Pass. The only feature uncovered was a ditch containing a piece of iron and a fragment of clay pipe which is likely to be post medieval in date (https://www.excavations.ie/report/1989/Dublin/0000861/). Revised upload on: 21 April 2018.
