The find comprised a collection of cremated bone, among them a recognisable cranium, along with 31 sherds of pottery belonging to two cinerary urns. Cinerary urns are ceramic vessels used to contain the cremated remains of the dead, a funerary practice associated broadly with the Bronze Age in Ireland, and finding evidence of two such vessels in a single deposit suggests either a shared burial or material gathered over time from the same general area.

The objects were presented to what is now the National Museum of Ireland in 1873, recorded under the reference NMI 1873:29. The presentation was made by William Wilde, the surgeon, antiquarian, and father of Oscar Wilde, who was at the time one of the most active figures in documenting Irish archaeological finds. The material came via the Reverend Scott Moore, identified in the record as a local landowner, who presumably recovered or received the pieces following their discovery. The burial is also referenced in an unpublished 1989 M.A. thesis by Mount, which catalogued prehistoric cremation practices across the region, suggesting the site has attracted at least some academic attention despite its obscurity.

The honest difficulty with this site is that it cannot be precisely located. No coordinates, field name, or ordnance reference appears to have been recorded at the time, and the surviving documentation places the find only loosely within the Liffey valley near Kilbride. The area around Kilbride is largely rural, edged by farmland and the broader landscape of west County Dublin, but there is no marker, no monument, and no visible trace of where the burial originally lay. For anyone interested in the find itself, the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin holds the registered material. The site on the ground, if it can even be called that, remains an absence, a point somewhere in a valley field that once held the remains of at least one person and the broken pieces of vessels made to carry them.
