The find was made during restoration and redevelopment work to the two-storey redbrick building located near the junction of East Wall Road and Alexandra Road.
It is thought the sea wall - a mixture of granite, sandstone and limestone kalp - dates back to the late 1720s. "It runs all the way under East Wall Road and continues around to Ballybough Bridge," explained Niall Brady, director of ADCO, the Archaeological Diving Company Ltd. Project manager Mark Hughes said:"It has been quite a complicated, slow process. We have had to try to ensure the substation stays standing while we try to salvage it, clean it and maintain it. At the same time, we are building a new building next to it. The finding of the wall though was a delight. It's brilliant.
The permanent display will be part of a 6.2km cycle and pedestrian route linking port, maritime and industrial heritage landmarks.
