Recorded monuments
- DU008-001 Castle - unclassified
Description
Named on Duncan's map (1821) as 'Castle in ruins'. Site accessible from laneway off Skerries-Lusk road. Located in low-lying field under tillage. Owner's grandmother talked of the castle in the 'Lane field'. Suggestion that the house (constructed in the early 19th century) stables and wall which incorporate large stones may have re-used stones from the castle. No visible surface remains.

- DU008-002 Enclosure
Description
Situated in arable land on a gentle north facing slope with fantastic views down to Lusk. An aerial photograph taken in 1972 (FSI 427/6) shows a cropmark of a circular, univallate enclosure (diam. c. 45m) with possible field boundaries attached. Archaeological assessment (11E0431) in advance of a house construction in the same field identified the enclosure and a figure-of-eight kiln (2.4m l.). The latter was excavated (Mullins and Dunne, 2012). Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 5 December 2014
- DU008-113 Ring-ditch
Description
Located on the S facing slopes of a broad E-W running ridge with very extensive views E towards the sea, S to the Dublin mountains and E, with views to the N somewhat restricted by higher ground. Situated in the NE corner of a very large arable field, just 40m W of the road between Lusk and Skerries. This is a sub-circular enclosure which appears continuous c. 11m in ext. diameter, identified on the Digital Globe mapping on July 24th 2018 by Christine Baker, appearing as a crop-mark.
