The National Monuments Service's description
The Ordnance Survey Letters (1838-40) record that 'some old people here remember having seen bones (human) some say skeletons of men women and children, dug up from a great depth at the edge of the beach, a little within Bray Head, at or near one of the lodges or gate houses belonging to Mr. Putland of Dublin.' (O'Flanagan 1928, 29-30). The exact location of this is not known.
