Dublin Port has made an exciting discovery after unearthing an ancient sea wall off the city's coast.
The ruins were found underneath a former electricity substation on East Wall Road. There were several historical artefacts dating back to the 1720s found at the site, including preserved clay pipes marked with political slogans. The remnants of the past have now been claimed by Dublin Port company for conservation.
The sea wall was discovered by building company Dunwoody and Dobson, who were carrying out works on a former electricity substation located at the junction between East Wall Road and Alexandria Road. The sea wall would likely have been eroded over time as the port was developed in an easterly direction away from the city.
