Context (Amendments / updates)
The four scrapers under the idno 1925.731 A-B have been marked with letters assigning provenance; two are marked '(a)' to identify them as from Cul na Croise, two are marked '(b)' to identify them as from Cladhfaoidail. It appears at some point that these location-makers were thought to be idno-suffixes instead and two records were created; A and B. It has been decided that the suffixes should remain in place to keep the provenances separate. Four records have therefore been created for the individual objects, see 1925.731 A.1-2 and B.1-2.
