The National Monuments Service's description
In 2004, skeletal remains disturbed during ground works associated with an extension to Sallins National School were investigated (Licence no. 04E1343) and were found to comprise one middle-aged male and a second adult, probably also male Although the latter's burial position was unknown, the former lay in a supine extending position, orientated E-W, with the head to the W, which suggests an Early Christian burial date.
