Episode II is all about Harold's Cross and I, Laura Fitzachary am joined by Trisha Ryan. She is an archaeologist and historian from Waterford and is now based in Dublin. With her days spent talking about Viking invasions we used archaeological evidence to meander through Harold's Cross and the surrounding Kimmage & Crumlin as early examples of town planning. From manorial settlements to utopian suburbs and from arrowheads in back gardens to Fair City, Episode II went from the Neolithic to the '90's. Episode II takes the locals of Harold's Cross and their history through the centuries.
