Engineers have found two anomalies at the site, using ground penetrating radar. One is a box or culvert-like structure about 5m by 5m, that is most likely man-made, according to engineers examining the site.
Another area. 12 by 4 mters, is anomalous in that the area is more dense than the covering or adjacent soil.

The Children's Home Graveyard Committee and Caherine Corless cooperated in the project.

It is suggested that slit trenches are the next step.

It has been suggested that the children are not in the ground, but Catherine Corless says "I still believe that they are in that ground."

A lot remains to be learned about the site and the burials. One family has made a formal exhumation request.

The anomalies found may belong to the age of the workhouse, or they may be later; only digging will answer that question.
