• DU012-019 Earthwork
  Description

  The OS 1837 and 1937 map editions show 'site of moat' on a break in slope overlooking Malahide estuary. There are no visible surface traces. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 16 January 2015

• DU012-020 House - 16th/17th century
  Description

  Located on the north shore of Malahide estuary. This two-storey building, rectangular in plan, incorporates a sequence of building phases some of which may date from the 17th century. A dwelling is marked on the Down Survey (1655-6) map at this location. The Civil survey (1654-6) mentions a 'slated house' at Corballis (Simington 1945, 50). There is an irregular pattern of windows in the building. According to the owner an ornamented window was discovered in the W end of the N wall during re-furbishments to the house but is plastered over. Stone mullions were also unearthed in the grounds (Moylan 1961, 23-24). In one of the out-offices running S of the house there is the remains of a stairwell.

• DU012-070 Burial
  Description

  Situated on the W side of Malahide Island, a sandbar 400m E of the Malahide coastline. In 1950 P. J. Hartnett excavated an extended inhumation burial with some irregular stones covering the body. The grave was orientated NW-SE. Remains were accompanied by a rounded limestone pebble (Diam. 0.25m). Hartnett compared this pebble to a granite pebble found by him possibly accompanying a crouched inhumation at Hempstown Commons, Co. Kildare (Hartnett 1950, 197). The articulated body was extended on its back in a NW-SE direction with the head to the NW. The left forearm lay across the chest with the hand resting on the right shoulder and the right arm was fully extended at the side with the hand underneath the right hip. A brief report on the teeth suggest that the individual was twelve to sixteen years old (Cahill & Sikora 2011, 324-325). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• DU012-087 Burnt mound
  Description

  This monument was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 05R012) and test excavation (Licence no. 06E0027) to inform the Donabate Local Area Plan. A spread of burnt mound material (7.5m diam.) was identified associated with a shallow ditch and circular pit (0.62m diam.) (Baker 2006, 12).

• DU012-097 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Situated in tillage on the edge of the broad crest of a ridge, with extensive views in all directions. The sea is in view to the E and the Broadmeadow river estuary lies to the S. First identified in a geophysical survey in 2005 along with a burnt mound (DU012-086----) at the base of the slope to the S in the same field. Another burnt mound (DU012-087----) was identified in that geophysical survey in the adjoining field to the SW (Baker, 2006a; Frazer 2007a). Test excavations were carried out at the site in in 2006 (Licence No. O6E0027) and the ring-ditch was fully excavated in 2017 in advance of the construction of the Donabate Distributor Road by Liam Coen working with Archer Heritage Planning (Licence No. 17E0407). The site consists of a circular area (diam c. 16m) defined by an enclosing fosse which was recut. The first phase of activity consisted of the excavation of a ring-ditch defined by a broad, fairly deep v-shaped fosse. The fill of this was largely undifferentiated, comprising of a sterile fill which gave the appearance of having been backfilled very quickly after having been dug – there was no silting at the base. The upper ring-ditch which was recut into the earlier fosse was a shallow u-shaped fosse, filled with a darker, charcoal-rich fill with an entrance to the E. This was defined by two rounded terminals with a single central post pit at the center. No features were recorded in the interior. A stone bead with a central waist somewhat reminiscent of a dumbbell bead, some lithics and burnt bone were recovered from the upper ditch fill.

• DU012-099 Enclosure
  Description

  Located within a south facing arable field, that slopes down to Malahide Estuary, cropmarks indicate the presence of subsurface remains of a circular enclosure. The enclosure (diam. c.36m) visible on Google maps imagery (June 2028) is defined by a ditch (wth. c.1.5m).

• DU012-100 Enclosure
  Description

  A substantial ditch enclosure was initially identified in the course of geophysical survey and confirmed as archaeological in origin by test trenching (McLoughlin 2007), the site occupies an area of roughly 65m x 25m in extent. Further test-excavation revealed the ditch to be 1.95m wide and 1.25m deep. Bone, charcoal and a copper object were recovered. A preliminary interpretation of enclosed settlement of the early medieval period has been made (O’Connell 2017) Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 8 November 2021

• DU012-135 Souterrain
  Description

  Situated in a large rectangular arable field just SE of Donabate village along New Road. An arc of housing occupies the NE quadrant of the field. The field is cultivated into NNE-SSW running ridge and furrow, newly planted with cabbage plants. On a S-facing slope, down from the crest of an E-W running ridge, an oval area of ground (L 20m x Wth 8m) has been skirted by a planting tractor in avoidance of lower ground within. At the centre of this area is a sunken hollow (D 0.25m) within which is a large capstone, (L1m x Wth 0.54m) set along an ESE – WSW axis and embedded within the ground, below the ploughsoil. This is edged by an adjacent boulder (L. 0.5m) and another stone lies to the S. The upper surface of the capstone, which is triangular in section, slopes NNE and SSW, has spalls have been removed from its upper surface in the past, probably through plough damage. The capstone or lintel is indicative of the presence of a souterrain. No entrance point to the souterrain is visible save approximately 13m downslope another small dip in the topography of the ploughsoil. No variations in soil texture or colour were observed at the time of the site visit indicating that the entrance hole had been infilled some time ago. There is no current access to the souterrain. From a video of the souterrain interior which had been provided to NMS, the souterrain is T shaped in layout. A low passageway exits a small low corbelled beehive chamber of drystone construction. The walls are composed of crude angular and rounded boulders with the upper courses of the passageway walls oversailing to create a corbelled effect but roofed by flat lintels. One passageway is intersected by a taller passageway running at right angles to the former. One of the passageway ends is fairly crudely blocked by roughly coursed boulders while the other may consist of a drop-hole at its end. There are occasional areas of collapse creating an uneven floor surface. Compiled by: Margaret Keane Uploaded on: 20th July 2022
