- Tarbert Island, Co. Kerry, Kerry

In May 1965 human remains were discovered by workmen carrying out excavation work in advance of the erection of the electricity generating station at Tarbert Island, Co. Kerry.¹²¹ The discovery was made while using an electric drill, so the bones were heavily disturbed at the time they were noticed. The human remains are described as having been underneath a flagstone approximately 1.2m below ground level, and some 5.5m from the shore of the River Shannon. When first noticed, the disturbed bones were scattered over an area measuring c. 0.76m by c. 0.6m. According to the report, the material around the area where the bones were discovered did not differ from the rest of the area, and comprised river gravel. The report does not mention the presence of associated artefacts in the vicinity of the burial. The find was reported to the Gardaí at Listowel, who informed the National Museum. The local coroner was also notified and agreed that the bones should be reburied. Following agreement from the National Museum, it appears that the bones were reinterred.
