Archaeologist examines Monknewtown Cemetery.

Monknewtown cemetery near Slane, where bones are falling into an adjoining garden, has been examined by Meath County Council's archaeologist.
A spokesperson said this week that there had been slippage over a lengthy period of time.
The archaeologist said this appeared to be a gradual and continuous process and the bones probably date to burials pre-1825.
The area will now be examined to establish what remedial works would be required to address the problem, according to a spokesperson.
The horrific sight of human bones, including part of a skull, exposed to the elements and precariously poised to fall into an adjoining garden, had led to urgent calls for Meath County Council to act.
The bones were exposed when a wall between Monknewtown Cemetery and the garden of a house next door partially fell and while the bones currently exposed could be up to 100 years old, the owner of the adjoining garden Mr Frank Taaffe pointed out that there are newer graves nearby.
“There was a burial there about three years ago, quite close to the wall,” he said.
Mr Taaffe says the problems began 20 years ago when the ground in the cemetery became saturated with heavy rainwater and pushed the wall out.
“It has got worse since then and over the past 20 years part of the wall has fallen, exposing bones.”
