They can not excavate sacred ground, I believe.

It doesn't look like they were "excavating" in the strict sense, just clearing brush and accumulated debris. A real excavation, digging up graves, would require a major paperwork effort with the Church authorities as well as (one assumes) the local and national governments.

Very interesting article but sad to think that it was left to deteriorate like that over all the years.
A local church in a town between us and Goliad, Tx - which is very historical with two 'mission-forts' - discovered an old Indian burial place while preparing land for a new parking lot.
They were delayed for a long time but I believe they were allowed to relocate the burial grounds to a nearby spot.

Nice post, blam.
"tombs in the shape of Celtic crosses, dating back 1100 years"
WOW!
What a very interesting article.
Thanks for the ping, devolve.

Ireland is a neat place, you've got to admire a culture with a hero named Finn McCool.

Correct - when it comes criminal investigations, warrants are required, I don't know what the procedures are for archaeological digs - but I imagine there is a lot of paperwork.

The thing about the ancient world is, they only had 300 baud modems.
It was completely barbaric.

Shredded printer paper, at least ... or maybe it will be recycled.
