At Owenbristy, Galway, two women, one aged 35ish, the other younger, buried in a single grave - extremely violent deaths - may be 7th century #MedievalRites

A grave dating from 500AD near Lusk, County Dublin, contained the bodies of two males - hands entwined -they had been decapitated and buried on the boundary of the Christian site. What do you think? #MedievalRites
