Archaeologists have unearthed the bones of 146 people in the graveyard of a now-demolished medieval abbey in Northern Ireland. While most of these people received full Christian burials, a handful of graves may belong to executed criminals who were denied this treatment.
The graves mostly contained the remains of men, as well as a small number of skeletons belonging to women and children, archaeologists told the BBC. Researchers think the find dates to the 14th or 15th century, but further analysis is needed to confirm this.
