The National Monuments Service's description
A cemetery of stone-lined graves were discovered on the present grounds of the Suttonians Rugby Club in 1937. These skeletons were extended E-W in long stone cists (L c. 1.8). There were no grave goods (Raftery, J. 1941, 303). Monitoring (Licence no. 04E1647) of the installation of floodlighting did not identify any remains. Not visible at ground level.
