The National Monuments Service's description
A human skull was found in July 1999 in digging a canal close to the Jamestown canal. It was investigated by Mary Cahill of the National Museum of Irealnd, and it is now in the Museum (1992:32). The context was disturbed and no other bones were recovered, but the skull seems to have come from the location of a small lake. (Sikora and Cahill 2011, vol. 2, P 509-10, 7.178)
