The National Monuments Service's description
A cemetery of several inhumations, discovered near the seafront in Bray. The bones crumbled on exposure to the air, but the burials were accompanied by several Roman coins. One was a coin of the Emperor Trajan (AD 97-117) and another was of the Emperor Hadrian (AD 117-138). (Davies 1989, 108-9)
