Recorded monuments
- DU008-023 Burial
Description
Human remains associated with a flint blade were discovered c. 1957 (NMI 1957:5). Found in field of tillage on slightly undulating ground. There is no visible surface trace (Cahill & Sikora 2011, 468). The area at Daw's bridge in the vicinity of the site was subject to extensive drainage works-Lissenhall-Jordanstown Trunk Water Main Scheme- by Fingal County Council. The works were subject to intermittent monitoring (Licence 08E0178) although monitoring was constant where it passed in proximity to this site. Nothing of archaeological significance was noted (Kyle 2009) Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 19 December 2014
- DU008-064 Burial
Description
Excavations (Licence no. 99E0548) in 2001 on the Airport-Balbriggan Northern Route revealed substantial remains of a large circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) which was defined by a ditch (Wth 2.45m, d 1-1.5m). It contained animal bones, flint and iron slag. It enclosed three smaller ditches within which were six human burials. All were aligned E-W with their heads to the W. All were extended, inhumations with no grave goods. A sub-rectangular ditch running from the edge of the large enclosing ditch contained a single human burial within a slab-lined grave. Date uncertain (Opie 2003, 89). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 07 January 2015
