Ballagilbert Burial

Archaeology

The site of a conjectured burial ground at Ballagilbert. There is a surviving local tradition of an 'old graveyard' but surface indications of it are now lacking. Apparently during the 19th century quantities of human bones were ploughed up by Mr. Taggart, the then owner, but no mention of stones or lintel-graves is made. On the evidence available the site must be classified as doubtfully Christian.
