Recorded monuments
- DU008-016 Moated site
Description
Located off the Dublin-Belfast Road in a field of pasture that slopes down gradually eastwards to Corduff stream. This site was identified from aerial photographs taken in 1972 (FSI 367/6). It survives as a roughly rectangular raised platform (dims. c. 45m N-S; 35m E-W; H 1-1.3m) with enclosing fosse (Wth 7.5m; D 0.45m). Drains run from the E, NE, NW and SW sections of the platform. Accessed by fording the Corduff river and the field entrance marked by two stone piers. It was marked on 19th century lease maps as the 'Fancy field'. According to the landowner there is a tradition that the field is the site of the 'town' of Newtown Corduff. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 15 December 2014
- DU008-095 Pit
Description
Identified during pre-development works for the M1 (Licence no. 01E1138) this site consisted of five large prehistoric pits 91.6m-3m diam.), possibly of Bronze Age date. To the east of the pits was a small area of c.5m sq. contained eleven pits, two post-holes and eighteen stake-holes. A subcircular pit (0.55m by 0.22m) produced a quantity of burnt bone, and an oval pit (0.16m by 0.14m), produced a single struck flint, a carbonised hazelnut shell (Corylus avellana), a carbonised fruit stone and a single sherd of prehistoric pottery. (Chapple 2002, 21). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 5 February 2015
- DU008-096 Enclosure
Description
Geophysical survey (Licence no. 13R023) was undertaken for route selection of the Greater Dublin Drainage Scheme. The results indicate an enclosure complex defined by a sub‐rectangular arrangement of magnetically strong linear ditch remains with peripheral curvilinear anomalies to the south‐east and weak trends to the east, south‐east, west, and south‐west. Combined these anomalies extend c.50m north/south by c.77m east/west (Nicholls 2013). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 5 February 2015
