The National Monuments Service's description
Found during the archaeological excavation (Tobin 2001) of a kiln (KD023-118----). The skeleton had been placed on its side with knees bent, one arm raised by the head and the other across the abdomen. The burial was interpreted by the excavator as being a hasty deposition as the kiln was reused after the burial was deposited.
