The work covered in this video has been variously funded by grants from the CMF 2021, the RIA and Incultum. This is a work in progress, aiming to better understand the archaeology (and history) of 19th and 20th century institutional burial in Ireland.

Thanks to Dr Paul Naessens, Dr Steve Davis, Dr Alastair Ruffell and institutional historian Dr Aoife Bhreatnach for their help in working these things out. Jerry O'Sullivan, TII Project Archaeologist, helped us work out grave typologies and the TII LiDAR data is proving very useful in our surveys.

Also Tony McDonagh, caretaker Forthill graveyard, Galway and Brian Scanlon, caretaker Sligo Old Cemetery. Willie Whelan and Willie Fraher of Waterford County Museum in Dungarvan also assisted in developing our understanding of these sites. Buíochas freisin do Liam Suipéil agus Muiris Uada san Rinn.
