That is, in its entirety, what is formally recorded about this site. No excavation report, no dating, no indication of how many individuals, no context for how the discovery was made. The place carries the designation of a burial, but almost everything that would normally accompany such a classification is absent.

What survives comes from local knowledge passed on in 1993 by a man named Leo Morahan, who communicated the find to whoever was then gathering such information. Morahan's account offered no further detail, and none has since come to light. This is not unusual in Irish archaeological recording. Townlands across the country hold memories of bones turning up during fieldwork, drainage schemes, or the sinking of a post, and many of these discoveries were never formally investigated. Sometimes the bones are prehistoric, sometimes early medieval, occasionally much later. Without physical examination or laboratory analysis, there is simply no way to know. Scardaun, a townland name derived from the Irish meaning a rocky place or stony ground, gives no particular clue either. The landscape itself has not been made to speak.
