I would love to have been a fly on the wall of that developer when the construction crews announced their find and shut it all down.

The Irish have such a way with words when they get really upset...

The slate was found to the rear of one of the houses which was made from wattle.

Wattle : a fabrication of poles interwoven with slender branches, withes, or reeds and used especially formerly in building

I was not familiar with the word.

Don’t let the Swedes know. They’ll burn all of it in a selfish, cowardly act of cultural self destruction.
