The results suggest that this multi-period monument can be divided broadly into three major phases of construction. In Phase I a series of pits were dug in the early third millennium BC, one containing Grooved Ware and a second a cup-marked stone. In Phase 2 further pits were dug, again some with Grooved Ware. Two of these antedated a central rectangular post setting, but the recovery of sherds, similar to those from the pits, suggest the structure belongs to the same general period. To this phase also belongs the construction of a massive kerb of graded stones, the tallest to the southwest enclosing a platform cairn in the Clava tradition. Finally, Phase 3 involved the construction of a series of cists, one with a Food Vessel, and the digging of a pit through the platform cairn containing a cremation beneath an inverted Cordoned Urn. There was also evidence of Iron Age and early medieval activity on the site.

The excavation revealed five phases of activity. The evidence for phase I consisted of a spread of refuse and two rubbish pits, followed by

The burials ranged in date from the 7th to the 12th century.

The various forensic and scientific disciplines involved and the analytical procedures undertaken are described: Police Procedure; Forensic Pathology; Forensic Anthropology; CRANID Analysis; Forensic Radiography; Dentistry; Stable Isotope Analysis; Forensic Facial Reconstruction; DNA Profiling. The information gleaned from the results of the various disciplines served to significantly reduce the volume of missing persons requiring investigation. This information also allowed us to build up a picture of the life and death of the deceased and to create a biological profile used for a public appeal by the national and international media. This case presentation demonstrates the important nature of multidisciplinary international cooperation.

A minimum of 22 graves contained a minimum of 34 individuals: 26 were inhumed and 8 were cremated. The graves also contained fifteen bowls, two vases, two vase urns, three encrusted urns, an unidentified food vessel and an unidentified vessel. The non-pottery ceramic finds consisted of two toggles and a plano-convex knife. Accounts of the cemeteries are provided, along with a human palaeopathological report by Laureen ...

Meath, in use some time between 2280 BC and 1520 BC, consisted of six cist burials and eight-ten pit burials, which contained at least 26 individuals. At least seven of the graves contained pottery and one contained bronze and flint artefacts. The finds consisted of the remains of up to twelve complete or partially complete vessels, including nine complete bowl food vessels, one or two vase urns, one encrusted urn, a jet necklace of 40 beads, one bronze razor knife, one flint scraper ...

Thirteen of the graves contained pottery and three contained bone and/or flint artefacts. The finds consisted of the remains of up to twenty complete or partially complete vessels, including three bowl food vessels, three sets of food vessel sherds, four to five vase urns, three encrusted urns, two collared urns, ...

There are a number of reasons for this, including the direction of the current and the convergence of two seas, the Irish Sea and the Celtic Sea, via the St. George's Channel. There is a huge volume of shipping traffic, both commercial and passenger, and the area is well known as a graveyard for shipwrecks over the centuries. The area is also heavily fished by commercial trawlers, who themselves have been the victims of many a wreck. The most popular method of fishing is beam trawling, which involves the use of heavy gear trawling the sea floor, and this results in frequent finds by fishermen of remains: In the majority of cases, the finds are quickly excluded as animal in origin; however, on a number of occasions, human remains are recovered. 9
