A SECOND SKELETON has been found during pipe laying and enhancement works in the Smithfield area of Dublin.
The remains of a child, thought to date from the 17th century, have been found next to the skeleton of an adult which was discovered on May Lane yesterday.
An archaeologist excavated the bones which were found yesterday, as it is necessary for the pipe-laying works to continue in the area. It’s thought the remains date from between 1650 and 1700.
