Magdalene site findings require investigation

A number of ‘features’ that require further archaeological investigation have been discovered at the site of the Sunday’s Well Magdalene Laundry in Cork.

Over the last few months, a team of archaeologists has been examining the former Good Shepherd convent site, under licences from the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, in conjunction with the National Museum.

The examination is part of a request for further information in relation to a planning application for the proposed redevelopment of the site.
