Recorded monuments

• DU008-024001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Turvey House was an early 18th-century residence, which incorporated an earlier tower house and a late 16th-century house associated with the Barnewall family. The castle was reputedly built from the stones of the nunnery of Grace Dieu (DU. It was demolished in 1987. However archaeological monitoring of rubble removal in 1993 revealed upstanding remains of these three phases of building on the present site. The earliest phase identified was the construction of a rectangular tower house (L 11.5m; Wth 8m) with an angle tower in the NW corner. There was a barrel vault over ground floor, now collapsed. The sections, which survive, show evidence of wicker-centring. Original features include a double garderobe chute in the N wall of the angle tower and a splayed window embrasure. The tower house was extended to the S by the addition of an L-shaped building of late 16th-century date. Fragments of four original windows remain in situ, one of which is the sill for a three light window. An original doorway and fireplace was also revealed (Moylan 1961, 22-3, Murtagh 1993, 33-34; ). The site is now fenced off and overgrown. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 19 December 2014

• DU008-025 Enclosure
  Description

  An aerial photograph taken by in 1971 (FSI 587/588) shows part of a possible enclosure visible as a curving cropmark (diam. c. 100m). There is a corresponding curve in the nearby field boundary. The site is located in low-lying pasture close to Rogerstown estuary. Not visible at ground level. Now incorporated into Turvey Nature Reserve. Geophysical survey (Licence no. 06R0154) was undertaken to identify the extent and location of the enclosure site. However no clear responses suggestive of an enclosure were identified. Isolated responses were recorded probably the result of natural variations in the sub-soil (Leigh 2006, 2). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 19 December 2014

• DU008-083 Burial
  Description

  In 1984 human remains were discovered on Turvey Estate. The human remains were discovered in a disused gravel quarry which had been converted to a cattle shelter (NMI Cahill & Sikora 2011, 474). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26 August 2011
