Recorded monuments

• DU021-015001 House - fortified house
  Description

  The surviving architectural remains of the manor form a roughly rectangular courtyard with out-buildings attached to and extending E and W of the original 17th century manor house. The N gable wall and SW corner is all that survives of the manor house. It is built of lightly bonded masonry with block and dot decoration on the quoins indicating a 17th century date. The N wall rises to two storeys with splayed embrasure on the ground floor and a fireplace on first floor (est. dims. c. L 16m, Wth 8.20m). A rectangular vaulted chamber is attached to the N end (int. dims. L 9.50m, Wth 3.70m). Window in N wall (Healy 1977, 1-5; St John Joyce 1912, 217-219; Stout 1982, 217, Stout 1998, 145-154). Further excavations in 1997 uncovered the eastern section of a substantial stone building, of which a small section (west) survives above ground in derelict form. The eastern gable end of the structure had been removed by the sewer-pipe trench (at 62.09m OD). Excavation directly east of the standing section revealed sub-surface remains of the central portion of the structure, including foundation walls, a partition wall, internal post-holes and a series of internal cobbled floors and drainage features. A mixture of medieval and post-medieval finds were recovered from the cobbled floors and associated wall foundations. The remains of a late outhouse structure were recorded and a section of stone wall was uncovered within the cobbled surface 1.5m south of the outhouse. This wall survives to a length of 2.6m, and is on average 0.74m wide and 0.3m high (63.29m OD). Several walls of 17th century date were uncovered within the excavated area. These included the south-west portion of the manor house, and the north wall of the manor house which forms the south wall of the barrel-vaulted building (McConway 1998, 22-23).

• DU021-015002 Gatehouse
  Description

  A gatehouse stands at the entrance to the 17th century manor built by Sir William Parsons, Surveyor General of Ireland in 1622. A boundary wall runs up to the SE corner of the tower but is not bonded to it. It is a square tower which rises to two storeys with battlemented parapet (Int dims. L 6.3m; Wth 6.3m, T 0.6m). Built of coursed limestone masonry with some dressed stone in the arches on the E and W sides. The elliptical arched entrance passage is off-centre and occupies most of the ground floor. There is a small chamber S of the entrance passage which is lit by two slit loops and is defended by a gun loop in the N wall. The joist holes for the first floor are visible. The upper chamber above the gate contains a fireplace in the NW corner. This level was originally reached by a stair, the only indication of which is the absence of plaster in the S end of the upper chamber (Mc Dix 1898, No. 914, 9, 19). Lit by large plain windows in E and W walls with smaller opes on N and S sides. In general this building appears to have been an insubstantial fortification, relying on gun loops to provide security rather than wall thickness. Compiled by Geraldine Stout

• DU021-015003 Barrow - stepped barrow
  Description

  This two-tiered earthen mound is located in a field of pasture NW of a 17th century manor house (DU021-015001-) and within a ceremonial enclosure (DU021-015006-). The first stage of the earthwork is a raised, steep-sided platform (diam.42m; H 2.5m) with a wide berm around the upper edge (Wth 3.5m). The second stage is a smaller earthen mound (diam. c. 20m; H 2.5m). A circular stone wall of limestone masonry runs around the top of the upper mound (diam. 10m). Inside of this is a square turret with a plain doorway and window with chamfered brick corners. The upper stage of the earthwork had been landscaped to insert an external stone stairs on the SW side. Beranger's drawing of 1767 shows this as a two-storied turret. This 'Sham Ruin' was probably erected on the earlier mound in the 17th century as part of the landscaping of the manor (McDix 1898, 40, 19; Handcock 1899, 6; Ball 1906, 116, Stout 1998, 145-154). Compiled by Geraldine Stout

• DU021-015004 Designed landscape - belvedere
  Description

  On the summit of a stepped barrow is a circular masonry enclosure c. 10m in diameter on top of which is a small turret. This contains a doorway and three windows. Beranger's drawing of 1767 shows this as a two storied turret. This is an Eighteenth-century folly. Compiled by Geraldine Stout

• DU021-015005 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  According to Ball (1906, 219) an ancient roadway ran from Ballymount to the Belgard road near a crossroads known as the Shoulder of Mutton. The precise location of this roadway is unknown. Compiled by Geraldine Stout

• DU021-015006 Ceremonial enclosure
  Description

  An aerial photograph (FSI 2 262/1) taken in 1971 shows cropmark evidence for a large oval enclosure (165m E-W; 102m N-S) confined to a field W of the ruinous buildings at Ballymount Great. The E end of the enclosure has been disturbed by a track which crosses the site on a N-S axis. Located eccentrically on a slight prominence in this enclosure is a stepped barrow (DU021-015003-). Excavations in 1982, prior to roadway construction revealed one inner fosse (dims. Wth 4.5m; D 1.7m) and a denuded external earthen bank (Wth 6.8m; H 0.4m). Finds at base of fosse fill included animal bones and iron objects namely a socketed tool, a tanged knife and iron slag. A horse-skull lay in a primary position in the fosse indicating a possible ritual deposit. Final silting of the fosse took place in the 9th century AD (Stout 1998, 145-154). Further investigations were undertaken in 1997 to examine the eastern part of the enclosure threatened by the proposed Luas Line. The only finds recovered were animal bones and two sherds of Medieval pottery. Excavation of the main enclosure ditch in 2002 demonstrated the existence of a medieval re-cutting of this feature and possible evidence for an entrance (O Néill 2004, 125). Compiled by Geraldine Stout

• DU021-015007 Kiln - lime
  Description

  Archaeological investigations in 1997 immediately below the foundation layer for the earliest cobbled floor of one of the outbuildings at Ballymount manor uncovered a limekiln. In profile the kiln is 1.2m wide and 0.71m deep, consisting of a flat base (1m wide) of limestone slabs (top 62.32m OD) with vertical walls of irregularly shaped stones 0.6m high (south) and 0.5m high (north). The kiln is filled by three deposits: a basal layer of white lime mortar, at most 0.13m thick, an intermediate level of mixed brown soil with orange clay flecks, at most 0.36m deep, and an upper boulder infill, at most 0.22m deep. Three sherds of Dublin-type ware and one of Leinster cooking ware were recovered from the fills indicating a medieval date (Conway, 1998, 22-23). Compiled by Geraldine Stout
