Come Here To Me!

What better way to announce such a thing on Facebook. 😀

Some eagle-eyed spotter in the Evening Herald perhaps noticed it as well, as there was an article about the discovery in the paper two days later (March 12).

TEMPLE Bar’s giant umbrella plans at Meeting House Square have been delayed after an unexpected archaeological discovery. Preliminary excavation work on the square began in January, in preparation for the construction of a large retractable canopy.

The Temple Bar Cultural Trust (TBCT) hoped that the facility would expand the use of the square for events during unsettled weather. Dublin City Council gave the green light to the TBCT to install the 21-metre tall structures.

But now the reopening of the centre will be delayed after city archaeologists uncovered a 13th Century structure.

“The finds were made on Wednesday afternoon, so at this stage it’s very early,” a spokeswoman for TBCT told the Herald. “We believe that it is a 13th Century structure. It will add time with our plans, but we have every confidence that we will be able to go ahead with our project.”
