Overview
- Forensic teams recovered seven sets of human remains adjacent to an underground vaulted structure, with initial assessment indicating they are infants.
- Radiocarbon dating and other analyses are underway to determine the era of origin, with results expected to take several months.
- In a separate excavation area, seven historic skeletal remains consistent with the Workhouse era have now been recovered.
- The vaulted structures are distinct from the previously identified multi‑chambered tank in the memorial garden, and other chambers containing significant remains have not yet been exhumed.
- ODAIT is coordinating with the National Museum of Ireland on historic remains as the two‑year excavation, which began in July, continues in phased sections.
