• DU015-082001 Church
  Description

  The roofless remains of a C of I church, dedicated to St. Assin was rebuilt (1712) on an earlier site. It is enclosed by a stone wall.

• DU015-082003 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Trial excavations were undertaken in June 1996, directly opposite the ruins of a medieval church (DU015-082001-) and about 20m north of the pear-shaped enclosure of the medieval church. This revealed a V-shaped feature which may possibly be a truncated ditch. It was c. 1.15m below ground level at the base. It is similar in shape to, a ditch found by Leo Swan during roadworks in 1970. This ditch was interpreted by Swan as being the outer enclosure ditch of the medieval ecclesiastical site of Raheny. However, the area in which the ditch was found was important historically throughout the medieval period, and there are other boundary and defence features of which such a ditch could form a part. Both medieval and post-medieval pottery were found in disturbed layers adjacent to the feature (Carroll 1996). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26 August 2011
