In June 1992 fragments of human bone were found by workmen digging a sewer trench, probably representing the inhumations of one individual. No dating evidence or artefacts were recovered, and there was no opportunity for archaeological observation. The burial lay c50m from high water mark, and 90m from the scheduled medieval burial ground of Cnoc Eothail, Baile na Cille (NB03SW 2).
