This is what the Dubliner, whose remains were found under College Green, might have looked like.
For more than 500 years the remains of a young man, no older than 35, lay in a mass grave under what is now Dublin’s College Green.
His skeleton and that of four other people were found in August 2014 by archaeologists excavating for the new Luas cross city works. They were found located in what was once Hoggen Green, one of Dublin’s three main medieval commonages.
