MoS radar tests that showed ‘anomalies’
IN JUNE 2014 the Irish Mail on Sunday commissioned a specialist engineering firm to scan the burial site using ground penetrating radar.
The survey, carried out by TST Engineering Ltd, revealed two areas at the site which appeared to contain ‘anomalies’, and Catherine Corless believes the structures found by the Commission of Inquiry are the same as those highlighted by that scan.
The specialised radar creates an image – not unlike a heat map – of what is below the surface. One anomaly was a box-like structure on the left measuring 5m x 5m. On the right they found a larger anomaly measuring 12 metres long and up to 4 metres wide.
TST recommended digging slit trenches as a sensitive way of finding more information.
Catherine Corless said yesterday: ‘I would say it is exactly as the Mail on Sunday found, it has to be the same place as the diagram which was published in the paper.
‘I’ve not been told this, but it has to be the same place. They talk of a long structure, that is exactly what was in the paper.’
