The National Monuments Service's description
This site was identified as part of test excavation associated with the East–West Interconnector Project (HVC E-WIP) (Licence no. 11E0235). Located N of Rogerstown estuary the burials extend for 15m E-W x 20m N-S within the construction corridor and extend beyond towards the estuary. A N-S alignment was determined in two cases. A number of burials were in stone-lined graves. A radiocarbon determination for one of the burials returned a date of 618-675 AD (Mullins 2011).
