• DU004-004 Enclosure
  Description

  Located on a ridge under a crop of corn SE of the Delvin river. An aerial photograph taken in 1972 (FSI4.536/7) shows cropmarks of an enclosure (diam. c. 40m) and possible field systems radiating from the N quadrant. Not visible at ground level.

• DU004-005 Barrow - stepped barrow
  Description

  This barrow is situated on a hilltop under pasture beside the Naul to Fourknocks road and near the Ford of Fyne. A circular dome-shaped mound (diam. 15m; H 2.5m) which rests on a circular earthen platform (diam.30m; H2m). (Healy 1975, 16; Scully 1972-3, 103). Slopes down steeply to north and south to circular tree-lined enclosure. marked on the OS 25" as a 'moat'. Directly to the north on the other side of the Delvin is the Fourknocks ridge. When the grass is down large stones are visible. The monument was recently surveyed by Trim Archaeology Projects Ltd., the results of which were summarised as follows; 'The monument site was enclosed by a ring of trees which formed a small plantation in a former designed landscape of Westown Demesne. Today there are trees along the boundary to the SW and there are hedgerows forming boundaries from the SE around to the north of the monument with occasional large trees along them. It is adjacent to a former Gate lodge and avenue to Westown House, constructed c.1890. A garden centre now occupies the adjacent site which is attached to the gate lodge. The monument appears to be composed of an upper mound and lower mound. The lower mound measures 23.8m in diameter and its height is 1.2m. It’s lower break of slope is recorded at 85.7m OD, while the upper break of slope measures 86.9m OD. The upper mound is located in the centre of the lower mound. It measures 10m in diameter and 1m in height. It’s shape is more bulbous than the lower mound. The lower break of slope of this mound is at 87.5 OD and the top of the mound at 89.2m OD, so the mound itself is 1.3m high. The total height of the monument is 2.5m. On top of the upper mound, two distinct features were identified in the survey. One is a circular feature measuring 4m in diameter and 0.2m in height situated just off centre on the mound. There is a dip in the centre suggesting that this upper mound may have had a shallow bank or rise on its outer edge, either an original feature or a later addition. The second feature identified is located in the centre of the first. It measures 0.5m in width and 0.2m in height and while it may be of archaeological interest, it could also be related to vegetation growth. There was no depression recorded in this mound, which, if present might have represented earlier antiquarian investigations. It is unlikely therefore, that the site was ever excavated or disturbed in the modern period. The profile of the barrow at Moat Wood appears to closely resemble the campanile form, with a distinct bulbous, flat-topped central mound form with a flaring berm and bevelled skirt around the bottom. When compared to other stepped barrows in Ireland, the distinct form of the barrow at Moat Wood would appear to better resemble the architectural characteristics of the stepped barrow’s UK counterpart, the ‘bell’ barrow, which is a more definitive morphology than that seen under the broader stepped barrow classification. Between July 25th and August 4th and the 25th and 26th August 2022, a series of geophysical surveys were undertaken over Barrow DU004-005 and on lands surrounding the monument by Earthsound Geophysics Ltd. The electromagnetic investigations of the land surrounding recorded monument barrow DU004-005---- revealed a series of relict agricultural boundaries and what may be associated cultivation furrows. The orientation of these is different than the field boundaries now, but the earliest mapping which shows field boundaries, Rocque’s map seems to indicate a similar pattern to the present, so this system is likely earlier than the 18th century. The land surrounding the recorded monument was subjected to a series of high-resolution surveys consisting of high resolution topographical and earth resistance surveys as well as lines of electric resistivity tomography and ground penetrating radar. These surveys revealed the full extent and composition of the monument. Two distinct mounds were identified. The lower mound measures c.23.8m in diameter and 1.2m in height, has a relatively flat top and is surrounded by a possible enclosure ditch and agricultural features. The upper mound has been placed on the centre of the lower and measures 10m in diameter and over 1m in height. This mound is more bulbous in formation and has no distinctive break in slope at the top. A circular expression measuring c. 4m in diameter and 0.2m in height sits on top of the upper mound. A central topographical expression measuring c.0.5 wide and 02m in height sits on top of this circular expression. The internal structure of both mounds indicates that they appear to be built on the natural topography and contain multiple separate deposition events, it was impossible to tell if they represent one building event or are two mounds built at separate times one on top of another. Surrounding this mound, a possible enclosure ditch was detected as well as evidence for agricultural processes. Adjacent to the mounds evidence for arcing ditches, pits, stone deposits and banks was detected. While some of these appear to follow or respect the alignment of the mounds and are suggestive of archaeological remains others represent agricultural boundaries' (Carroll 2022; Gimson 2022).

• DU004-042 Inn
  Description

  Rectangular building annotated 'Hall' on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map appears to be the same structure that is depicted on Rocque's 1760 map of County Dublin and this building may have been the original 'Naul Inn'. The 1641 Deposition of Katherine Magee of Newtown recorded that on of the rebels included 'farmor Peeter Cruse of the Naall in the said Countie of Dublin gent Christofer Cruse of the same Inkeeper' (Clarke 2017, 283). A notice from the Dublin Evening Post dated Thursday 27 September 1787 recorded that 'John Tiernan, proprietor of the Naul Inn, respectfully thanks his Friends and the Public for past favours, begs leave to acquaint Gentlemen who travel the North roads, that the Naul-road (turnpike free) is now in thorough repair, that he has fitted up his House and Stables in the best manner, and will always be provided with good accomodation'. The 'Hall' is aligned on an E-W axis with the gable end facing onto the present road which leads from the village of Naul to the town of Drogheda. Attached to the N side of this building is a public house which is aligned on a N-S axis. Present remains consist of a two-storey stone-building with a gabled and slated roof. The latter was reconstructed and gables raised to give a Dutch Billy effect in the 1940s. A chimney projects outwards mid-way along the lateral N wall of the building. Formerly served as an inn (Vernacular Building Survey County Dublin 1993). The irregular layout of the two buildings the tall projecting chimney stack suggests this is a multi-period structure that may date from the late 17th or early 18th century with later alterations.

• DU004-043001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Westown House is an 18th-century mansion which incorporates portion of an earlier tower house and the ground floor of a possible hall (Knight of Glin, Griffin & Robinson Reprint 1889, 67; VBSCD 1993). The later may be the building referred to in the Civil survey (1654-6) as a stone house, which was partly slated (Simington 1945, 33). In 1993 the mansion and rear courtyard containing finely built out buildings were still in relatively good condition. The rear of the mansion and the outbuildings have since been demolished.

• DU004-043002 Building
  Description

  Westown House is an 18th-century mansion which incorporates the ground floor of a possible hall (Knight ofGlin, Griffin & Robinson (Reprint 1889, 67; VBSCD 1993). The latter may be the building referred to in the Civil survey (1654-6) as a stone house, which was partly slated (Simington 1945, 33). In 1993 the mansion and rear courtyard containing finely built outbuildings were still in relatively good condition. The rear of the mansion and the outbuildings have since been demolished. Accessed by long grass tree-lined avenue leading westwards from Naul village. House facing north, three bay over basement. The main ground floor chamber has a broad, round arch opening in the south-east corner where an entrance down into a passageway is located, the roof of which contains brickwork and is secured with wooden joists. Rumoured to be some sort of tunnel but possibly leads to cellar/icehouse-externally to the north-west of the gable is an outer shute which possibly links the two. Area to rear of house has also been cleared-some architectural fragments stockpiled. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 6 November 2014

• DU004-045001 Water mill - unclassified
  Description

  The 1654-6 Civil Survey of Dublin recorded that in 1641 on the lands of 'Peter Hussie of Westowne' there stood 'one stone house part thereof slated ye rest thereof one small Chaffe Barne w[i]th] three or foure Cottages one Corne Mill & one Tuck Mill in use worth fifteen poundes w[hi]ch Mills are in ye aforesaid towne of Nall [Naul]' (Simington 1945, 32). The 1655-6 Down Survey map of the parish of Naul shows 'Paul [Naul] Bridge' (DU004-045008-) crossing the River Elfin [Delvin], to the E of a watermill in Co. Meath in the area where Naul Park House stands today. It is possible however that the mill depicted on the Down Survey map of Naul Parish was the watermill located on the S bank of the Delvin River rather than a mill in Co. Meath. The terrier of the Down Survey Map of the Parish of Naul recorded that at; 'ye. River Elfin on w[hi]ch Stands a Mill in Repaire, in the Towneland of the Naule & a Bridge (DU004-045008-) over the Said River' (NLI Ms. 714). This was replaced by a flour mill erected by Arthur Mervyn between 1718 and 1722. The Old Mill ceased operations sometime between 1869 and 1906 and was roofless by 1934, when Oliver St. john Gogarty pondered the 'ruined .... roofless mill' in a poem he entitle The Mill at Naul. An archaeological assessment was undertaken (Licence No. 04E1261) prior to renovation. No archaeological finds or features were identified (O'Hara, 2004).
