• DU018-060001 House - 16th/17th century
  Description

  Pre-development assessment in 1995 failed to reveal evidence for a dwelling called 'Ball's House' which stood here at the beginning of the 17th century (Gowan1996, 16, Joyce, 1912, 25; Ball 1907, 23; 1996, 16).

• DU018-060006 Windmill
  Description

• DU018-060009 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  The present graveyard in Donnybrook Village is reputedly on the site of an an early convent site associated with St. Broc and later attached to the church of Taney (Ball 1903, 57). The previous existence of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (max. est. diam. 120m) at Donnybroook is suggested by the curvature of the SE section of graveyard wall and the kink in the road to the N of the village. There is also a granite cross-base of probable Early Christian date standing by a wall fragment in the middle of the graveyard. This graveyard was the burying place of the Fitzwilliams in the 16th-century (op cit 58). The earliest tombstone in the graveyard today commemorates Thomas Jordan and Catherine Hanon 1629 (Parkinson 1993).

• DU018-060020 House - fortified house
  Description

  Shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map . St Mary Magdalen's Convent of Sisters of Charity, off Brookvale Road occupies the site of Donnybrook castle, an Elizabethan Mansion built by the Ussher's in 1560 (Ball 1903, 51-55). It was demolished in 1759 (Ball 1903, 54). An 18th-century drawing of the castle (op cit 52) shows a long rectangular, two-story building with a circular turret and lit by double-light, round-headed windows. Pre-development excavations in 1995 in the vicinity of the convent uncovered a gully (Wth 1.2m, D 0.3m) which formed part of a small, circular enclosure of probable, late medieval date (Mc Conway 1996, 13)).

• DU018-060021 Enclosure
  Description

  Archaeological monitoring at St. Mary's Brookvale Road revealed part of a sub-circular enclosure (diam. 12m) enclosed by a ditch (wth.1.2m, D 0.3m). This is thought to be of Medieval date (Mc Conway 1996, 13).
