18th century streetscape unearthed
The remains of an 18th century streetscape have been uncovered at Dublin's Iveagh Market, Francis Street, which is being redeveloped as a multi-purpose market with adjoining hotel. Preliminary excavation of the site has revealed three phases of foundations, from the 1700s or later, including the remains of a brewery. The findings - about eight feet under current street level - correspond closely with old maps of the city, including the Roque map which features on the £10 note.
