Recorded monuments

• DU022-032 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  'St. Sabh's Well' in the parish of Whitechurch is an enclosed spring well located on a N facing slope in the grounds of St. Columba's College. A beehive-shaped structure of stone with a brick faced addition covers the well. Access to the well is blocked and the water is pumped to an outside trough (Ó Danachair 1958, 85; Healy 1975, 1-19). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 20 April 2023

• DU022-033 Megalithic tomb - portal tomb
  Description

  Located in gently sloping pasture, W of the River Dargle. Three tall granite orthostats survive forming three sides of a chamber which opens to the SSE (H 2.7m; Wth 2.35m; D 2.3m). The E portal-stone leans on the doorstone. A fourth stone had been broken up c. 1876 (Ó Nualláin 1983, 82, 96; Borlase 1897, 2, 393-4). Excavations undertaken between 1984 and 1987 revealed an oval-shaped cairn and concentrations of charcoal and cremated bone associated with the orthostats. A secondary pit burial in the cairn contained an inverted Food Vessel accompanying a cremation (DU022-033002-). N of the orthostats were a series of pits and post-holes and a linear trench, which produced a Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age stone and pottery assemblage (DU022-033003-). A bowl furnance dating to the Iron Age was also revealed in this area (Keeley 1986, 18; 1987, 14-15; 1989-90, 74). Monitoring of groundworks in the same field as 'The Brehon's produced a sherd of coarseware pottery. The fill was burnt, and it is possible that some burning did occur within the pit (Reid 2000, 35).

• DU022-034 Church
  Description

  Shown as 'old Tower' on the OS 1843 6-inch map. D'Alton (1838, 790) describes a small ruin of a tower with detached walls adjacent which he believed to be the chapel of Grange. Joyce writes that it was a square tower or watch tower, entered by a pointed arched door. There are no visible remains above ground. (O Conbhui 1963, 64).

• DU022-057 Cross-slab (present location)
  Description

  This graveslab is at present located in the chapel of the College of St. Columba. It came originally from Kilmashogue Mountain. It has a circular head and shaft (L 0.69m, Wth 0.26m, T 0.07m), the head bears a Greek double-line cross in a circle, with a raised line around the edge. The lower shaft is decorated except for the base, which may have been placed in the ground or in a base (Ó hÉailidhe and Prendergast 1977, 141-42, Fig. 29). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 18 November 2013

• DU025-066002 Graveslab
  Description

  A cross-slab thought to have come from Kilmashogue mountain is held in the chapel of the College of St. Columba. Ball's history (1906, 63) records the existence of a church on the mountain, all traces of which had disappeared by 1912 when Joyce published his Neighbourhood of Dublin. The graveslab (L 0.69m, Wth.0.26m, T 0.07m) has a circular head which bears a Greek double-line cross in a circle (Ball 1979, 140-142). The shaft is also decorated with a square motif. The base of the shaft is rounded, in order that the cross-slab could be placed in the ground. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy Revised upload on: 28 July 2018
