Re: Monu-Mental About Prehistoric Dublin

Received the book this morning FW. Thanks for the promptness and your sig.

I see in the bibliography that you researched papers on a (I'm paraphrasing here) prehistoric site in Drimnagh.

This reminded me of a question that I meant to ask at the launch: In all the research that you undertook, did you ever come across mention of prehistoric sites/monuments that would have been in the Dublin city area? In the intro, you mention the Dublin plain, the area now occupied by the city. Given that up until relatively recently places like Rathmines were still villages, I can't help but wonder about sites/monuments that may have been concreted over in the 20th century. Are there any records for these (if they ever existed)?
