That small divergence, a single body oriented differently and set apart from its companions, is the kind of detail that stops an archaeologist mid-note.

The site came to light during excavation carried out under licence number 06E0288, in advance of the Premier Business Park development in County Dublin. The main burial ground, located to the south-east of the excavation area, was already much disturbed by the time archaeologists reached it, but the remains of at least sixteen individuals were identified, their graves enclosed by a deep ditch oriented on a north-east to south-west axis. Only a short section of that enclosing ditch survived, which limits how much can be said with confidence about the original extent or character of the site. The findings were published by McQuade in 2009, and the site record was compiled by Christine Baker for upload in February 2015. East-west burial alignment is broadly associated with Christian practice, the body laid with the head to the west so as to face east and the rising sun at resurrection, though the tradition has earlier roots and the precise dating of this group is not specified in the available record.

Cappoge is a townland in the north of County Dublin, and the burial ground now lies beneath or immediately adjacent to a business park, which means there is nothing to see on the ground today. The value of the site is entirely in the excavation record rather than in any visible remains. Anyone researching early burial practice in the greater Dublin area, or the archaeology of development-led excavations more generally, would find McQuade's 2009 report the logical starting point, accessible through the National Roads Authority scheme publications or the relevant institutional libraries.
