Recorded monuments

• DU012-023001 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Traditionally called 'Sunday's Well' or 'St. Sylvester's Well'. Not indicated on the 1837 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Annotated 'Well' on the 1863 ed. OSi 25-inch map. D'Alton (1838, 186) recorded that; 'In the middle of the town is a well of clear and wholesome water, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, and covered with an arched enclosure , within which her statue was formerly set'. O'Reilly (1910, 147-8) disagreed with the dedication recorded by D'Alton and wrote the following details about the well; 'This well was situated towards the centre of the road way at the top of New Street, the side street running northwards from The Mall, or main street, to the shore, and was in a line with the fronts of the houses on the north side of The Mall. The well is now covered in; but the source supplies a pump erected at the rear of the new National' Schools. When I first saw it in the sixties, it was surmounted by a small, slate-roofed, circular stone-house about 12 feet high and nine feet wide, in which a flight of steps descended to the well, the door of which was then kept locked. D'Alton was misled as to the dedication of the well by the facts that, till a comparatively recent period, a patron was held at it on Lady Day in August, which afterwards was transferred to the Sunday following that feast, and that a statue of the Blessed Virgin had formerly been placed there, as is shown by the continuous tradition of the people as to the name of the well, and the dedication of the Roman Catholic church'. Folklore collected from Malahide School recorded that; 'There is a well in Malahide called Sunday's Well because it was not there on a certain Saturday night but was first seen on the following morning. It is just outside the school windows' (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0791, Page 158;https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4498689/4385454). Today the well structure stands in a square at the rear of St. Sylvester's R.C. Church. The well is covered by a conical stone built superstructure. Access to the spring from a flight of steps. Pattern day on August 15th (Ó Danachair 1958 78; O'Reilly 1910, 147-65; Flanagan 1984, 110-113). A modern stone plaque at the foot of the well is inscribed: St Sylvester's well ca. AD 430, restored 2001. See attached photographs taken by Henry A.

• DU012-023002 Church
  Description

  According to Flanagan (1984, 112) there was an early church site on the present site of St. Sylvester's RC Church. No architectural remains survive (O'Reilly 1910, 147-165). Test excavation (Licence no. 10E0426) was undertaken in advance of an extension to the modern church. Two post-medieval masonry walls, interpreted as the remains of the early 19th-century church building that previously occupied the site, a small undated pit/drainage gully and a silty deposit that may date from the medieval period, were identified. No burial remains were uncovered. Further testing (Licence no. 11E0326) uncovered medieval structural remains, ditch pits and 18th/19th century masonry walls.

• DU012-023003 Earthwork
  Description

  According to Flanagan (1984, 112) there was a mound on the present site of St Sylvester's church. Test excavation (Licence no. 10E0426) was undertaken in advance of an extension to the modern church. A small undated pit/drainage gully and a silty deposit that may date from the medieval period, were identified. Further testing (Licence no. 11E0326) uncovered medieval structural remains, ditch pits and 18th/19th century masonry walls. The recovery of medieval pottery is interpreted as some level of activity taking place on the site or in the vicinity during the 13th or 14th centuries. It is possible that the pottery sherds could relate to activity associated with the mound that once stood on this site, perhaps suggesting that it may have been a motte or a rath that was occupied for a considerable period of time. No visible surface remains. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 16 January 2015

• DU012-032 Earthwork
  Description

  There is a mound marked on the OS 6 inch map (1827 edition). The site was on a hill overlooking Seamount House and the sea. Test excavation (Licence no. 06E0609) was undertaken in the vicinity of the mound site in advance of drainage insertion. The area had been disturbed by quarrying works and subsequent back-filling. The mound site was not discovered during the course of testing. Local informants indicated that the area had been dug out some time in the past. No visible remains.
