Designated sites

• Proposed Natural Heritage Area: Dodder Valley 000991

Recorded monuments

• DU022-025001 Church
  Description

  The remains of a two storey dwelling survives on the site of a monastery described in the OS Letters in 1837 (Herity 2002, 36). In 1990 proposed development on the periphery of this site necessitated the archaeological clearance of the areas to the north, east and south (licence no. E000586). No features were encountered and the only finds of archaeological interest were two sherds of Sgraffitto-type pottery, and a portion of a large quernstone. In the absence of evidence for enclosure or burial in the extensive areas examined, it remains doubtful whether this was ever an early ecclesiastical site (Swan 1991, 27).

• DU022-025002 Graveyard
  Description

  The OS Letters in 1837 describe a monastery (DU022-025001-) and graveyard (Herity 2002, 36). In 1990 proposed development on the periphery of this site necessitated the archaeological clearance of the areas to the north, east and south (licence no. E000586). No features were encountered and the only finds of archaeological interest were two sherds of Sgraffitto-type pottery, and a portion of a large quernstone. In the absence of evidence for enclosure or burial in the extensive areas examined, it remains doubtful whether this was ever a graveyard here (Swan 1991, 27).

• DU022-025003 House - 16th/17th century
  Description

  The remains of a two storey dwelling survives on the site of a monastery described in the OS Letters in 1837 (Herity 2002, 36). It is rectangular in plan with steeply pitched gables (est. dims. L 12.80m; Wth 9.50m) and a chimney out-shot in the SW corner. Remains of two plain (damaged) windows survive in the N gable. Built of randomly coursed rubble masonry with roughly dressed quoins. There are traces of a vault over the ground floor. In the 19th century wicker centring was observed. The OS Letters also describe a series of steps which descended to ground floor, that no longer exist (Hegarty 1939, 70; Healy 1961, 109-130). Proposed development on the periphery of this site necessitated the archaeological clearance of the areas to the north, east and south in 1990 (licence no. E000586). No features were encountered and the only finds of archaeological interest were two sherds of Sgraffitto-type pottery, and a portion of a large quernstone (Swan 1991, 27).
