More than 100 skeletons, some over 1,000 years old, have been discovered at a site off Capel Street in Dublin city centre during archaeological excavations for a hotel development.
The find, made by archaeologists working on the site of the Bullitt Hotel, which is to be built between Abbey Street and Mary’s Lane, indicates the existence of a Christian church predating the foundation of St Mary’s Abbey, previously thought to be the earliest post-Viking settlement in this part of the city.
The hotel, for which Northern Ireland hotel group Beannchor secured permission two years ago, is being built within what was the Victorian Boland’s bakery and biscuit factory, much of the fabric of which still remains.
For an article by Olivia Kelly about the excavations on the site where over 100 skeletons were discovered.
The old Boland's Bakery building off Dublin's Capel Street which is being redeveloped as a hotel.
Archaeologists excavate the old Bolands bakery site off Capel Street.
However, the site contains the remnants of much older ecclesiastical buildings associated with the monastery founded in the 12th century as well as substantial parts of a Presbyterian meeting house from the 17th and 18th centuries, and foundations and cellars of a “Dutch Billy” merchant’s house dating from about 1700.
The site was part of the lands of St Mary’s Abbey, founded in 1139 by French Benedictine monks, and so archaeologists working on the site had expected to find burials from this period.

However, excavations have uncovered a number of skeletons which appeared to predate the foundation of the monastery, according Edmond O’Donovan, director of excavations for Courtney Deery Heritage Consultancy.

“Most of the skeletons are medieval, dating between 1200 and 1540, but there are definitely two that are 1,000 years old. One of them is dated by their association with a kite-shaped stick pin, very datable to the 11th century, and probably a shroud pin. Those two burials are significant because they predate the foundation of the abbey,” he said.
The manner of the burials indicate they were Christian, Mr O’Donovan added. “The burials show that when the abbey was established it came to an existing church site; we have no previous historical reference for that. That tells us a little bit about the relationship between the late Viking population and Christianity – we see a Viking-age Dublin that is becoming Christian before the coming of the Anglo-Normans.”
The skeletons, which have been removed from the site, will be examined by an osteologist for further research and transferred to the custody of the National Museum to become part of the national collection.

St Mary’s Abbey was Ireland’s largest and wealthiest medieval abbey, but was demolished after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539. However, its stones were used in the construction of the Presbyterian meeting house built on the site in the 17th century and substantially rebuilt in the 18th century.
The meeting house was in turn incorporated into Boland’s bakery from 1882. Spared from previous development largely due to their backlot location, the bakery buildings remain some of the best-preserved early industrial buildings in the city. Ovens are still visible in the bakehouse and these and other structures associated with the bakery will be incorporated into the new hotel.
The planned 98-bedroom hotel, which is to be eight storeys tall, was granted permission in June 2021, almost three years after Beannchor first sought to redevelop the site. Mr O’Donovan said the development would bring the historical significance of the site to wider attention.
“Dubliners know about Abbey Street and Mary Street, but they wouldn’t necessarily associate it with the medieval abbey. This development will allow the story of what was the Christ Church of the northside to re-emerge.”
OCCI what do you know about this are they CELTS or Vikings or Townies or Northsiders .

OKKI Your caught .I was down the flats talking to Big Dommo about Celts as his sisters bestfriends cousin knows one and I asked about Celtic Sleeping Patterns and Big Dommo said You might be the Marty Morrisey of this forum .Celts do not sleep more than other wasters but Big Dommo recons you have a deal with Mattress Mick to promote sleeping to help him sell Beds .Do you know Mattress Mick ?Occi its sad to think you might be the Tubberdy of Taxiing .Shilling Mattresses and bed linen to exhausted Taxi Drivers .Please dont let it be so You were on the cusp of greatness like Tubbs a few hours in the morning and the odd late performance .You were the antidote to stickers and Ambassadors you were a role model for the semi professional lounge Lizards that drive part time .PLEASE Occi tell us its not so .
Occi You never once mentioned buying the love of your life a Tara Broach or taking her on a day trip to see the Cross of Conng you never said you had a poster of Queen Maobh or the bull of Connaught on your bedroom wall as a kid with the exception of living in Clontarf where Big Brian Died in Battle you dont seem to have any great Celtic Connections but ending your posts with a Bed Emoji looks fairly suspect when it comes to promoting Mattress Mick .

Mattress mick isn't a celt fuk sake ...he's money mad like Ken an nearly as chubby ...
Micks real name is mick flynn ....flynn was a name
The celts gave the flynns an is derived from the ancient celtic word that resembles "flying" in English...because they wer always runnin away in battle an had a tendency to jump off cliffs cause they wer shit scared of the celts ....later " flying" was changed to flynn to save them further embarrassedment ..the celts wer very nice like that .
The Romans an the Greeks also ran away because the celts wer so fierce that they used to went into battle stark naked ...an the size of ther flutes terrified the Romans so much they came to ireland only once an fuked off an
never came back again...not a drop of blood spilt ...amazin stuff ....that's why thers no roman artifacts found in ireland ....
The Greeks heard bout the big flutes an came over in big ships in ther thousends smellin of perfume cause as yu know the Greeks wer all gay ...an the celts beat the bollix out of them ...an they never came back neither
Any more questions johnny :)?

The Romans had zero interest in Ireland, even going so far as to call it Hibernia, the Land of eternal winter. Now that the climate is adjusting to banana-growing weather, we have long-armed, tree-swinging, whisky-swilling, spas like McGregor filling our news feeds. Just as it was thousands of years ago.

Down the Flats this morning with Big Dommo and his Cousin who is related to Galloping O Hogan on his Great Grannys side and Cucullin on his other Grannys side .He recons Occi might be a real Celt after all and not a Mattress Salesman .He was telling me a story his granny was told by her granny .That when the Jock Giant walked across the Giants Causway that Cucullin was Asleep in his bed and his Ma told the Jock Giant that Cucullin was actually the new born Child of the Irish Giant Cucullin and the Jock fucked off scared shitless and Cucullin threw a big sod of clay at him that formed the Isle of Man and Lough Bann .So there is Celtic legend of sleeping .So I think I might owe OCCi an apology he could be the link between the De dannan the Ardagh Challace and have nothing to do with Mattress Sales .

Mick and his daughter Mattress Michelle are far from original. Owner presenters were doing this in the U.S. for decades.
