The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological testing (01E1170) by L. Clarke at a housing development recovered the partial remains of two young adult males (excavations.ie 2001:945) which were completely removed, and there was no evidence of any other burials. Although no dating material was recovered, it is thought likely that they are of later prehistoric or early medieval date. (Clarke 2001)
