- DU026-031001 Castle - tower house
Description
The fragmentary remains of this tower house are located in private grounds at Beechlands. It is situated in a prominent position above Bride's Glen. It was built in 1408 by a member of the Lawless family and it was destroyed by fire in 1763 (Turner 1983, 85-6). The ivy covered W wall and NW corner are all that survive. The later rises to three storeys. There is a chimney stack present. The tower house is built of roughly coursed granite masonry. There is a high base batter on the section of N wall. The ground floor is vaulted on an N-S axis. There are two deep recesses with wicker-centring in the ground floor W wall (int dims. L 8.4m; Wth 2.15; Wall T 0.9m), (Ball 1902, 117-18, 123, 125-6; Mc Dix 1897, 39, 6). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 14 April 2018.

- DU026-054003 Cross
Description
One of two 12th-century crosses (DU026-054004-) which stood on the ecclesiastical site of Kiltuc. The site of Kiltuc Church stands a low-lying green area belonging to a modern housing estate known as Castle Farm. In 1979 a cross base lay along the E wall of the site of Kiltuc church (DU026-054001-). Today there are no surface remains visible of the cross-base. This was a round boulder (diam. 0.7m) with a level upper surface and socket (OPW files). In 1937 the Reverend J. P. Sherwin, P.P. removed the 12th-century cross-head from its original location at Kiltuck church site (DU026-054001-) in the townland of Shanganagh, Co. Dublin and erected it on the grounds of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Anne in nearby Shankill. At that time the cross-base was left behind standing on the eastern wall of the site of Kiltuck Church. The shaft of this cross is decorated with a head carved in relief was found about 1938, among debris which had been removed from the modern house named Shanganagh Castle during alterations to the underground story. The shaft was removed by Rev. J. P. Sherwin to the garden of his house in Ballybrack, where it remained until it was attached to the cross-head in the grounds of St Anne’s Church in Shankill. This cross was one of two crosses at Kiltuck Church. The other cross has been moved and now stands in Rathmichael (DU026-051----).

- DU026-054005 Building
Description
All that survives of Kiltuck church (DU026-054001-) are the overgrown foundations of a rectangular building defined on three sides by rough large boulders. In 1837 Eugene O'Curry of the Ordnance Survey described that 'there were traces to the south-east of the church of another small square building standing on the south-east of the church' (Ball 1902, 119). No surface remains visible of this building now standing in a green area of a modern housing estate. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of update: 11 November 2022
- DU026-055001 Martello tower
Description
Mahera Point, Shanganagh Martello Tower No. 4 and two batteries (Kerrigan 1995, 170). According to Kerrigan (1995, 168) construction of the Dublin area Martello Towers and their batteries commenced in 1804 under the supervision of Colonel Benjamin Fisher of the Royal Engineers and by December 1805 all towers were armed and complete. Kerrigan (ibid., 170) recorded that; ‘The towers and batteries south of Dublin are numbered from 1 to 16, but there were only fourteen towers, as at two locations there were batteries only, while several of the towers were close to adjacent batteries’. The martello tower and two batteries at Mahera Point was located above the beach, E of the disused railway line. Annotated 'Battery' on 1837 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Annotated 'Martello Tower (Disused)' on the 1863 ed. OSi 25-inch map. Not indicated on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map. There is no visible trace of the martello tower and its disappearance may have resulted from coastal erosion. Taylor's 1816 map shows a tower and battery here. Described by Kerrigan (1995, 171) as; 'tower no. 4, flanked by two batteries. Another mid-nineteenth-century plan depicts this tower with semi-circular glacis to the east and west, with a battery some 500 feet to the south and a similar battery 500 feet to the north. The tower and batteries stood on the cliff some sixty feet above the beach; the coastline has suffered from erosion here and the tower was dismantled in the early years of this century. Large pieces of masonry on the beach here may be from the Martello, but there seems to be no trace of the two batteries, each of which presumably mounted two guns, four 24-pounders and one 18-pounder were listed for no. 4 in December 1805'. See attached Taylor's 1816 Map showing the location of the Battery and the Martello Tower.

Description
There was a defensive redoubt associated with the martello tower (DU026-055001-). This has been removed by coastal erosion (pers. comm. Rob Goodbody).

- DU026-089 Battery
Description
The tower listed as No.5 was a Battery and the ruins are still in place. According to Kerrigan (1995, 168) construction of the Dublin area Martello Towers and their batteries commenced in 1804 under the supervision of Colonel Benjamin Fisher of the Royal Engineers and by December 1805 all towers were armed and complete. Kerrigan (1995, 170) recorded that; ‘The towers and batteries south of Dublin are numbered from 1 to 16, but there were only fourteen towers, as at two locations there were batteries only, while several of the towers were close to adjacent batteries’. Battery No. 5 was described by Turner (1983, 94) as; Although there was never a tower here, one was certainly under consideration, and the remains of a battery are still to be seen. The site is on the townland of Shanganagh, on top of the cliffs, a little south of the mouth of the Loughlinstown river. A tree-lined path known as Battery Wood leads to it from the railway line through new Council houses [Shanganagh Cliffs Estate]. The remains of the battery seem to be as they were in Joyce's time when he considered the position "very ill. chosen .. . as no portion of the structure, owing to rising ground in front, commands a view of the shore, etc. Remains of the dwelling for the accommodation of the garrison may still be seen, and underneath is a vaulted chamber probably the ammunition store". In 1815, when Napoleon was safely out of the way, the officers of H.M. Ordnance advertised for "proposals from persons willing to purchase the materials of the Battery No. 5.. . together with one acre on which the same stands. The Battery consists of 3 apartments, one 14.88m x 6.40m fitted up as an Officer's Guard Room. The road to the Battery is along the strand at low water'. Outline of the Battery and its walls are visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. Battery remains on cliff-edge location are clearly visible on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2023 and 26-/04/2021 Images courtesy of http://www.photopol.com/martello/killiney_bay.html Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 24 January 2023

- DU026-167 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated in grassland 270m W of the Irish Sea and 530mm SSE of Shanganagh Castle (DU026-120----). The townland boundary with Cork Little marks the boundary of this field to the E and S. No surface remains visible. Possible levelled ringfort originally identified in 2018 during geophysical survey carried out under licence No. 18R0223 (Nicholls 2019, 6). The survey identified the remains of a bivallate enclosure in Area 2. The presence of the enclosure was confirmed in 2019 by archaeological testing carried out by Lisa Kavanagh of IAC ltd. under licence No. 19E0098. Archaeological monitoring carried out by Steven McGlade under licence No. 20E0562 monitored the removal of the grass and upper level of the sod (under Licence No. 20E0562) overlying the monument. Archaeological test trenching undertaken by Lisa Kavanagh uncovered the remains of a possible bivallate ringfort (ext. diam. 64m) consisting of a circular shaped area (diam. c 45m) defined by two fosses (Wth 2.3m; D 0.85m). A human skull was identified at a depth of c. 0.8m in the inner fosse (Kavanagh 2019, 13). A hand phalange and fragment of rib were also retrieved from around the head, which may indicate historic disturbance or an unusual body position (ibid.). The remains were preserved in situ. It is unknown whether the enclosure contains more burials or if the skeleton within the inner ditch is an isolated example (Kavanagh 2019, 19). Two field boundary ditches, one extending to the northeast and one to the southeast, were identified and excavated during the 2021 works. These appear to be related to the bivallate enclosure, possibly part of an associated (petal) field system. A kiln complex was identified to the east of the ditch to the southeast. Two kilns were identified, with the later example being within a small enclosure. It was decided to preserve the archaeology in situ within the golf course development and that minimal intervention would be required over the monument and that a 10m buffer zone would be left around it (McGlade 2022).

- DU026-168 Cross - Churchyard cross (present location)
Description
One of two 12th-century crosses (DU026-054004-) which stood on the ecclesiastical site of Kiltuc. The site of Kiltuc Church stands a low-lying green area belonging to a modern housing estate known as Castle Farm. In 1979 a cross base lay along the E wall of the site of Kiltuc church (DU026-054001-). Today there are no surface remains visible of the cross-base. This was a round boulder (diam. 0.7m) with a level upper surface and socket (OPW files). In 1937 the Reverend J. P. Sherwin, P.P. removed the 12th-century cross-head from its original location at Kiltuck church site (DU026-054001-) in the townland of Shanganagh, Co. Dublin and erected it on the grounds of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Anne in nearby Shankill. At that time the cross-base was left behind standing on the eastern wall of the site of Kiltuck Church. The shaft of this cross is decorated with a head carved in relief was found about 1938, among debris which had been removed from the modern house named Shanganagh Castle during alterations to the underground story. The shaft was removed by Rev. J. P. Sherwin to the garden of his house in Ballybrack, where it remained until it was attached to the cross-head in the grounds of St Anne’s Church in Shankill. This cross was one of two crosses at Kiltuck Church. The other cross has been moved and now stands in Rathmichael (DU026-051----). Cross-reference with DU026-054003-.

- DU026-169 Enclosure
Description
Enclosure (AA1) in NW quadrant of development site in Shanganagh Park, Shankill, Dublin 8. Archaeological testing was carried out in April 2019, the trenches targeted, geophysical anomalies and open green space c. 100m southeast and c. 250m south (Kavanagh 2019, Licence No. 19E0098). Testing revealed 17 areas of archaeological potential. These comprised a 32m diameter circular probable Bronze Age enclosure and external pits (AA1). Further archaeological monitoring and excavation on this site took place from 2020–2022 revealing prehistoric and early medieval features (McGlade and Nevin 2022, Licence No. 20E0562). A geophysical survey was undertaken to inform this assessment in July 2023 (Dowling 2023, Licence No. 23R0312). Several features of archaeological potential were identified including a number of enclosures, a ring-ditch and a possible early field system. A large D-shaped enclosure labelled ‘anomaly 1’ was identified in the northwestern extant of the site. The enclosure measures 43m by 40m, a 3.3m gap to the northeast may represent the original entrance to the enclosure and a second gap 1.5m wide is seen to the southeast of the enclosure. A large pit-type anomaly overlaps the western boundary of the enclosure. Archaeological testing was carried out over the course of 5 days from 18 September 2023 using a mechanical excavator fitted with a flat grading bucket. The trenches targeted a series of geophysical anomalies and open green space to fully investigate the archaeological potential of the site. Testing revealed five areas of archaeological significance, which have been designated as Archaeological Areas 1-5. The report was undertaken by Paul Duffy of IAC Archaeology under Licence No. 23E0758. AA1: a sub-circular enclosure c. 45m in external diameter and encircling several pits and smaller features. A large, sub-circular spread of dark soil with some charcoal inclusion was identified immediately to the south of this enclosure while a series of narrow linear features criss-crossing the area and were found to variously pre-and post-date the enclosure. These linear features form part of a field system, at least some of which might pre-date the enclosure, though further excavation would be required to confirm this. Finds of animal bone and struck flint from the enclosure and a fragment of struck flint with edge wear from one of the linear features (C71) present the only dateable material retrieved. A probable cereal drying kiln (C55) of indeterminate date was identified 25m southwest of the enclosure. It is likely that the large sub-circular enclosure C16 in AA1 as well as the field system (formed by C11, C49 and C71) and spread (C52) are of pre-historic date. The large enclosure containing a smaller enclosure (C76) finds parallel at Farrankelly, c. 10km to the south (Ní Cheallachaín 2020). Excavations at Cork Little c. 790m to the south provide a close parallel for many of the features identified during the archaeological assessment at Shanganagh (McGlade 2022). Here, a sub-circular enclosure measuring 32.2m by 26.6m internally and with an eastern causewayed entrance was excavated. A similar causewayed entrance at C16 is suggested by the geophysical results. At Cork Little, the enclosure has been dated to the Late Bronze Age ad has been interpreted as being associated with nearby domestic activity (McGlade 2022). AA1, AA4 and AA5 will not be impacted upon by the redesigned proposed works. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Paul Duffy
- DU026-170 Ring-ditch
Description
Ring-ditch (AA2) in Trench 9 located in S quadrant of development site in Shanganagh Park, Shankill, Dublin 8. Archaeological testing was carried out over the course of 5 days from 18 September 2023 using a mechanical excavator fitted with a flat grading bucket. The trenches targeted a series of geophysical anomalies and open green space to fully investigate the archaeological potential of the site. Testing revealed five areas of archaeological significance, which have been designated as Archaeological Areas 1-5. The report was undertaken by Paul Duffy of IAC Archaeology under Licence No. 23E0758. AA2 is located towards the centre of the proposed development area and comprises a ring-ditch (C32), an external pit (C34) and at least four small pits (possible cremation pits) enclosed by the ditch (C34A-D) c. 12m in diameter and associated bank which enclose a central cluster of pits that may represent cremation pits. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Paul Duffy.
- DU026-171 Burnt mound
Description
Possible burnt mound (AA3) in Trench 1 located in E quadrant of development site at Shanganagh Park, Shankill, Dublin 8. Archaeological testing was carried out over the course of 5 days from 18 September 2023 using a mechanical excavator fitted with a flat grading bucket. The trenches targeted a series of geophysical anomalies and open green space to fully investigate the archaeological potential of the site. Testing revealed five areas of archaeological significance, which have been designated as Archaeological Areas 1-5. The report was undertaken by Paul Duffy of IAC Archaeology under Licence No. 23E0758. AA3 comprises a probable trough (C4) associated with possible burnt mound activity in the southeast of the proposed development area. No sign of the mound material survives. The probable trough (C4) that is likely to have been associated with burnt mound activity in the southeast of the proposed development area would be typical of Bronze Age activity. Two fulachta fiadh are known to have been excavated c. 500m to the west of this trough illustrating that this activity was taking place in the immediate area (DU026-116----). It is recommended that the probable small trough (AA3) and the features in the northern limit of AA2 be subject to preservation by record (archaeological excavation) prior to the construction phase of the project.
