In March 1981 human remains were discovered during bulldozing on a farm at Outrath, near Foulkstown, Co. Kilkenny.142 The bulldozing was being carried out in advance of the construction of a silage pit and the remains had been removed by the finder before Museum personnel visited the site. The site was visited by Mary Cahill. According to the finder there was no evidence of a cist or associated artefacts. The burials appear to have been extended and covered by a layer of large, water-rolled pebbles. As the site was completely disturbed, the association of the stones and the burial is not clear.
