Recorded monuments

• DU005-057006 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Located on a natural rise in the wooded grounds of Glebe House directly south of the graveyard in Balrothery village. This is a three-storey rectangular tower house with later modifications to the windows and battlements (ext. dims.5.6m N-S; 7.5m E-W). Built of coursed limestone masonry with dressed quoins and a base batter. A pointed-arched doorway on W. side, now blocked, led into a vaulted ground floor. There is a spiral staircase in the SW corner. The interior is lit by a round-headed window in the N wall on the first floor and a trefoil-headed window in N wall on the second floor, which is a later insertion. A machicolation survives on the N wall. There is the scar of a gabled building, which was formerly attached to S wall. This is the castle held by the minister of Balrothery which is mentioned in the Civil survey (1654-6) (Simington 1945, 15; Anon 1833, 209-211). Considerable ivy growth covers the building.

• DU005-064 Field system
  Description

  Pre-development test excavations in 2000 identified medieval activity on the west facing sloping field close to Balrothery towerhouse (DU005-057006-). This comprised a broad curving ditch which produced stratified medieval pottery. This was cut by two other ditches which produced Leinster Cooking Ware (00E0034). The medieval activity was preserved in the open space of a housing estate. Archaeological monitoring (05E1187) in advance of housing construction revealed post-medieval cultivation furrows and surfaces.

• DU005-138001 Ring-ditch
  Description

  One of two similar ring ditches excavated (Licence no. 04E0680) in advance of development. Located on a hill that rose from north to south, the ring ditch was associated with a group of cist inhumations (DU005-139----). The ring ditch contained a cremation deposit associated with fragments of a Navan-type fibula and a glass bead. A date calibrated to 200 BC – 10 AD was recovered from the cremation (Carroll et al. 2008, 126). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 2 February 2015

• DU005-138002 Ring-ditch
  Description

  One of two similar ring-ditches excavated (Licence no. 04E0680) in advance of development. Located 17m south of ring-ditch (DU005-138001-) this ring-ditch (6m diam.) contained four cremation burial deposits. Fourteen small annular blue glass beads and an unidentified iron object were found with one cremation and three small blue glass beads with another. An amber toggle bead was found in the upper layers of the ditch. Charcoal from a cremation yielded a calibrated radiocarbon date of 360-90 BC (Carroll et al. 2008, 126).
