“This site (off the Grange Road) is within the area which is currently under the consideration of Fingal County Council in the development of a Local Area Plan (LAP). Following publication of the LAP all outstanding PCC issues and timescales will be finalised.” more

A strange Contraption was spotted today on Seagrange Green by many Baldoyle locals. The Contraption, resembling a mix between Molly Malone’s famous cart and the Mars Rover, was in fact a high tech piece of survey equipment.
This was a part of a magnetometry survey undertaken by the Grassroots Archaeology Project which is a homegrown, community based initiative
which seeks to combine professional expertise and local support to unearth the story of a forgotten monument.
