A large number of burials were uncovered during landscaping immediately E of Moore Abbey house in both the mid and late-19th century (The Countess of Drogheda (1902-3, 230). They were probably associated with the Cistercian abbey (KD026-001----), upon the site of which the house is believed to be built.
