Recorded monuments
- DU015-117 Enclosure
Description
A large oval shaped enclosure visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph. May contain internal features (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Geophysical survey (Licence no. 14R001) undertaken at the site did not yield significant responses. However testing (Licence no. 14E0007) confirmed the presence of a large enclosure (c.100m diam) ditch (2.5m wide x 1.1m deep). It is to be excavated in advance of development. Compiled by: David O’Connor Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 28 January 2015
- DU015-118 Enclosure
Description
A circular enclosure visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). This site was subject to three geophysical surveys. Geophysical survey (Licence no. 07R0230) was undertaken in advance of proposed realignment. It identified a pennanular ditch (c.30m diam.) with an entrance to the east (Nicholls 2008). Another geophyscial survey (Licence no. 07R0230EXT), also in advance of a proposed road realignment immediately north, identified another circular feature (c.25m diam.) which may be associated (Harrison 2008). A third geophysical survey (14R0045) in advance of the Greater Dublin Drainage Scheme identified the southern limit of the same enclosure, the ditch of which may contain burnt remains (Bonsall 2014, 9).

- DU015-119 Ring-ditch
Description
A circular ring-ditch visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Geophysical survey (Licence no. 14R001) confirmed the presence of a ring ditch (c.12.5m diam.) as did subsequent test excavation (Licence no. (14E0007) It will be preserved in situ within green space of development. Compiled by: David O’Connor Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 28 January 2015
- DU015-134 Enclosure
Description
Geophysical survey (Licence no. 14R001) and test-excavation (Licence no. 14E007) were undertaken in advance of a residential development. Within the same field to the E is a ring ditch (DU015-119----) and to the NE, an enclosure (DU015-117-----). This monument is a large figure-of-eight enclosure (c. 75m N-S x 50m E-W). The ditches (2m wide x 1.2m deep) contain waterlogged basal fills with well-preserved mollusc and animal bone inclusions. A possible entrance is located to the NW. The S element of the enclosure encompasses internal features including a possible kiln, pits and ditches (Walsh 2014, 11). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 6 February 2015
- DU015-135 Enclosure
Description
An enclosure was identified by geophysical survey (Licence no. 07R0230 ext.) undertaken in advance of a road realignment scheme. The circular enclosure (25m diam.) is located 27m N of another enclosure DU015-118--- on the S-facing slope of a low E – W ridge. Internal responses indicative of pits and postholes have been identified suggesting an area of occupation or settlement (Harrison 2008, 8).
