人类遗骸的重新埋葬以及对病原体和污染的担忧促使人们寻找和评估一个有156年历史的墓地。为了找到这个墓地，将历史和轶事信息与航空摄影的景观解释进行了比较。为了评估和绘制内容物，使用了表面塌陷、金属探测器指示和探地雷达（GPR）。在200 MHz的探地雷达数据上，发现了170个与埋葬相适应的异常，其中84个与地表塌陷相吻合，这表明地面未塌陷，随后填充，以及多次埋葬。 墓地可能被分成罗马天主教的多个墓地;新教的墓地;和一个kileen，或未受洗者（通常是儿童）的墓地。这项工作是定位和绘制近期和历史无名坟墓地图的一种方法。
Reburial of human remains and concerns regarding pathogens and pollution prompted the search for, and assessment of, a 156‐year‐old graveyard. To locate this graveyard, historic and anecdotal information was compared to landscape interpretation from aerial photography. To assess and map the contents, surface collapses, metal detector indications, and ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) were used. Some 170 anomalies compatible with burials were identified on 200 MHz GPR data, 84 of which coincided with surface collapses, suggesting both noncollapsed ground, subsequent infill, and multiple inhumations. The graveyard was possibly split into Roman Catholic plots with multiple inhumations; Protestant plots; and a kileen, or graveyard for the unbaptized (often children). The work serves as one approach to the location and mapping of recent and historic unmarked graves.
