What is recorded here

No. 12 Dame Street still stands in Dublin South City, but its basement once hid two skulls beneath a clay floor. In 1957, workers broke through the surface and exposed the bones, forcing a sudden confrontation with the lives buried under ordinary business. The street continued bustling above while death waited patiently below, proving that even busy cities keep forgotten layers beneath their feet.

In 1957 human remains were found at No. 12 Dame Street. Two skulls were visible at the time of inspection. They lay under a clay floor of a basement room (D 0.076m) (NMI).
