"According to prehistorical mapping, it showed there shouldn’t be anything there on the ground. We did uncover what seems to be a medieval burial site, we still have to get proper dates from bone dating. It is looking like it’s 16/17 Century. It will affect the development significantly. We need to work with National Monuments service to see what we can do at the site.”
