The National Monuments Service's description
In 1967 an inhumation burial was discovered while digging sand near Skreen. It lies in a curved extension of an esker that loops around a church (ME032-074----). According to Rynne, the general size of the bones would indicate that they were those of a young adult (Cahill & Sikora 2011, vol 2, 387-388).
