The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a general SE-facing slope. Archaeological testing (15E0138) in advance of a 2.5km road improvement scheme on the N61 road about 2.5km N of the northern edge of Roscommon town identified an E-W inhumation with the head at the W adjacent to a post-medieval drain. Further excavation recorded three undated pits (F 25 dims 0.9m x 0.7m; D 0.45m: F 30 dims 1.08m x 0.91m; F 31 dims 4.55m x 2.77m) and a post-medieval slot-trench. The inhumation is of an adult in a Christian mode and the discovery of a possible shroud-pin was made nearby. (O’Connell 2015)
