It could be weeks, if not months, before locals are told about the history behind hundreds of skeletal remains unearthed in Naas.
Kfm has learned that it will be up to the owner of the property if details will be released, as the discovery was made on a private development.
Operations at the site are being managed by a team based in Cork.
Some of the team have worked through the entire summer, unearthing the remains.
Kfm reported yesterday how almost all of the skeletons recovered were those of men and some youths.
No grave markings, timber boxes, or religious artifacts were found, suggesting burials carried out without ceremony or identification.
There is no historical record of the site ever having served as a community graveyard.
Instead, the findings point to Gallows Glen being both a place of execution and burial - potentially linked to the 1798 Rebellion.
Following the failed attack on Naas Jail in 1798, dozens of rebels were reportedly captured and “disappeared.”
The forensic analysis is expected to confirm the age, cause of death, and potential era of those buried.
