This is an interesting find.

No chariot burials in Ireland, no, but a few tentative cart fragments have been found in wetland contexts

I've always been intrigued by this. Written in 1878 by an eminent Victorian gentleman geologist and occasional antiquarian.

'In the County ******, townland of ******, to the SW. of *******, in the river flat, immediately north of the hill called Lyra (Anglice a fork formed by
two glens), Mr. M.H. Jones states that about thirty five years ago, the miners found under about 5 or 6 feet of meteoric drift, an oak frame about 14 feet by 10 or 12 feet. The oak beams were neatly squared, the shorter ones being morticed into the others about a foot from their ends. On the outside of all the beams, were rude figures of animals, some being mounted by men. These animals " were like mules with long bobtails, goats or deer, and nondescript animals." The sculpture on the beams was discovered when they were washed, to get rid of the sand and drift, previous to their being sawn into ground joists for the east wing of the ***** Hotel.'

I shared this reference with an eminent archaeologist, whose immediate reaction was...chariot!
Maybe the story should be taken with a hefty dose of salt, just maybe. It is a secondhand story after all. On the other hand...
The hotel still survives and major renovations are due to be carried out soon. It's an exciting possibility that some of those timbers and 'rude figures' might still survive.
