Description
In the twelfth century Tallaght formed part of the See lands of the Archbishop of Dublin and is listed among the lands confirmed to Archbishop Laurence O'Toole by Pope Alexander III in 1179 (Sheehy 1962, I, 27). The archbishops founded a borough here and an extent of 1326 mentions that there were then 15 burgesses rendering 15 shillings per annum (Mc Neill 1950, 181). Apart from the burgesses there were also free tenants, eighteen cottiers and four betaghs residing at Tallaght. It was one of the most important ecclesiastical manors in County Dublin throughout the Middle Ages. By the Sixteenth century it was the Archbishop's principal residence outside the city (Handcock 1899, 11). The street pattern of the medieval borough was linear and appears to have consisted simply of main street which expanded at its west end to form the market place, where the road forked N past St Mael Ruains church and south towards Oldbawn. The archbishop's palace lay on the N side of the road and the long plots on the S side are probably the remains of the medieval burgage plot pattern.

- DU021-037002 Ecclesiastical enclosure
Description
The probable position of the ecclesiastical enclosure which surrounded the monastery is indicated by the curvature of the present graveyard boundary on the SW side of the medieval parish church and the apparent continuation of that curvature across the road on the W side where it is thought to have continued around into the present priory lands. Test trenching in 1991 prior to construction of the new regional technical college failed to identify a corresponding section but two ditches were revealed which may be part of an inner enclosure. These had been in-filled in the 13th-14th-century (Wth 5-8m, D 1.4m). They were similar to concentric ditches identified to the SW of the present church boundary (Hayden 1991, 29; 1991, 17). In 1995 test trenching west of St. Maelruan's revealed a single ditch (Wth 4.7m, D1.2m). A sherd of medieval pottery was found in the basal layer. (Mc Conway 1996, ) See DU021-037001-for report.
- DU021-037003 Church
Description
The site of the Celi De monastery founded by Maelruan in 774 AD was probably occupied by the medieval parish church. The West tower of the medieval parish church survives to the SW of the present Church of Ireland church. It is square in plan (int. dims. L 3.30m, Wth 3.24m) with a stair turret carried on corbels in the SE angle that rises from first floor level and projects above the battlements. The W tower rises to four storeys and is built of coursed limestone blocks with roughly dressedlimestone and granite quoins. There is a vault over ground floor, which is accessible from the present church. A gable scar on the E wall indicates the original position of the loft and nave of the medieval church. This was formerly entered through a pointed arched doorway with tufa jambs. . First floor of tower is entered through a later inserted doorway. There is a late chimney flue on the W wall and a blocked up window ope. Joist holes for the second floor are visible. The second floor is entered through lintelled doorway; interior is lit by windows on the N and W sides. There is a belfry stage off the second floor, through a lintelled doorway and lit by single lights in N, W and S sides and a two-light pointed window in the E. The roof is corbelled at this level(Handcock 1991, 37, 3rd, O'Flanagan 1927, 57-59, Gwynn, 1911-12, 115-123; Ball 1905, 2-13).

- DU021-037005 Tomb - unclassified (present location)
Description
One of a number of 17th century tombs in the churchyard (DU021-037004-). FitzGerald states that the central passage up the old church was flagged with large tombstones, some of which, at the time of his writing, lay not far from the gateway of the churchyard (Fitzgerald 1906-08, 31). He states that 'the tomb of Colonel John Talbot, of Belgard is said to have been placed at the foot of the communion table' (ibid, 31-2). O'Curry states that it was moved from its position at the foot of the high alter in the church when the church was transferred from the Catholics to the Protestants (O'Curry 1837, 28). This was to be found on a flat fractured slab, sunk into the ground near the entrance gate, accompanied by the armorial bearings of the Talbots and their motto (FitzGerald 1906-08, 32).
- DU021-037006 Cross
Description
A small Latin cross stands on a pyramidal base which in turn stands on a circular granite stone, possibly a millstone in the graveyard S of the medieval parish church. There is a deeply incised line on one of the faces of cross close to the base of the shaft (Handcock, 1899). Scantlebury states that St Maelruan's 'grave in the churchyard is pointed out where stands the base and part of the head of a small plain cross of granite' (1953, 67). He also points out the former veneration of the locals for this, stating that they 'would not suffer any corpse to be interred too near it' and that 'they were accustomed, too, to measure their family graves as being so many feet or yards from St Maelruan's grave' (Scantlebury 1953, 67).

- DU021-037010 Gatehouse
Description
Incorporated into the present Dominican Priory, all that survives of the Archbishop's palace of the later medieval period is this gate house (Handcock, 1991, 32, 3rd ed). It is rectangular in plan, rising to four storeys with a stair turret in NW angle and an external base batter visible on the E side. It is built of coursed limestone blocks with hammer dressing on the quoins and windows and was considerably altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. There is a vault over the ground floor, which has been converted into a chapel with Gothic windows inserted. Access to upper floors is from a stair turret, which is entered at ground level on S side and is lit by single slit opes. A fireplace has been inserted into N wall of the first floor. The interior is lit by round-headed windows in the four walls, that in the W serves as a doorway. The third floor has a vaulted roof running on an E-W axis, which is probably modern (Ball 1899, 100; Price 1942, 39-41). A stone head was found reused in one of the walls of the stone stair by Sir John Lentaigne (O'Curry 1837, 31; Ball 1899, 101). The tooling evidence helps assign a sixteenth century date to the tower(Bradley & King 1988, 332), although this may just be evidence of later insertions into an earlier building.

Description
In flat terrain at the foot of the Dublin Mts. A small portion of a curving fosse was uncovered during test trenching prior to development in 1990 (Wth at base 1.3m; at top 2.3m; D 0.75m). Traces of an inner bank (Wth 2.6m) were revealed. The fill contained iron slag, charcoal and animal bones. Radio-carbon dates from one of the bone fragments came out at 680-690 AD (O'Brien 1991, 29).

- DU021-037020 Castle - unclassified
Description
The square tower (DU021-037010-) was probably a gate tower to a much larger building (Bradley and King 1988, 320). Monk Mason's (1818) drawing shows a much more extensive castle complex. Handcock states that the parts of this more extensive castle's foundations have been found on occasion, and that there appears to have been an enclosing fosse (Handcock 1899, 29, 35; Bradley & King 1988, 331; O'Curry 1837, 32-3). The original castle was constructed in the first half of the early fourteenth century. Ball states that the castle was used as a garrison in the time of the Geraldine Rebellion (1905, 8).
