The National Monuments Service's description
In October 2000 a single human bone, a right tibia, was recovered from the spoil heap of a drainage operation at the boundary of Cappaleitrim and Cloonburren. It was acquired by the National Museum of Ireland (2000:70), but no futher remains came to light. (Sikora and Cahill 2011, vol. 2, P 509, 7.176)
