What is recorded here

Burial in Unknown Townland is a burial in County Dublin, Ireland. Perhaps workers digging foundations for the Georgian houses at Marino Crescent broke through soil that had kept dead bodies hidden since before the streets existed. Maybe the bones belonged to people whose names vanished before the crescent was drawn, leaving only the shock of discovery for the builders to carry home.
Human burials were unearthed during the construction of the Georgian houses at Marino Crescent (Wren, J, 1983).
