Marcel Mac Duchamp and Rroseeen Ní Shélavy in Infrat(h)in said:
I remember, as a child, digging down in the sand in Skerries (perhaps 65 years ago). Obviously not digging far, but hitting a layer of black stuff. My parents told me it was oil. It had a very particular smell. I still remember it. I still wonder what it was. It happened more than once.

The answer, according to A.I.:
The Science Behind the 'Black Oil' Layer
The Lack of Oxygen (Anoxia): On popular beaches like Skerries South Beach or North Strand, the top few inches of sand are constantly turned over by waves and the tide, keeping them well-oxygenated and clean. However, just a short distance below the surface, the tightly packed sand particles block fresh water and oxygen from penetrating.
Decaying Organic Matter: Over time, bits of seaweed, marine organisms, and organic silt get buried under the shifting sand. In an environment devoid of oxygen, normal decomposition cannot happen. Instead, specialized anaerobic bacteria take over to break down this organic material.
The Chemical Reaction: These bacteria "breathe" sulfates (which are abundant in seawater) and exude iron sulfides. It is this iron sulfide that dyes the sand grains a deep, jet-black color and gives it a slick, greasy texture that looks identical to oil. -

The sign says it is a Posting House which is where carriage horses would be stabled, so I’d say at least some of these men are waiting for their carriages.

Also in the album ...
Image 7 of 21 looks like it might be something to do with the 1882 Phoenix Park Murders.
Image 13 of 21 has a date "1891" 'Grave of the Irish Chief, Glasnevin'
Image 2 of 21 is this Lawrence photo of Kingstown - catalogue.nli.ie
