  • Archaeology & Cultural Heritage
    Chapter 4: Archaeology & Cultural Heritage Golf Lane SHD Environmental Impact Assessment Report Chapter 4 – Archaeology and Cultural Heritage 4.0 ARCHAEOLOGY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE 4.1 INTRODUCTION 4.1.1 GENERAL The following chapter details a pre-planning archaeological assessment undertaken for a proposed residential development at Golf Lane, Glenamuck Road in Carrickmines Great, Dublin 18 (Figure 4.1, ITM 721600, 723950). This assessment has been carried out to ascertain the potential impact of the proposed development on the archaeological and historical resource that may exist within the area. The assessment was undertaken by Maeve Tobin and Jacqui Anderson of IAC Archaeology. The site partially lies within the zone of notification for Carrickmines Castle and associated features (DU026-005), a National Monument in local authority ownership. Archaeological testing was carried out within this part of site in 2007, although no archaeology was found at this time (Ministerial Consent C207, Registration No. E003332). Pre- planning consultation with the NMS noted that further testing should be carried out to inform this impact assessment; however, the current site conditions meant that this is not currently feasible (Figure 4.4). Detailed relating to all recorded monuments in the study area are included in Appendix 4.1. The archaeological assessment involved a detailed study of the archaeological and historical background of the proposed development site and the surrounding area. This included information from the Record of Monuments and Places of County Dublin, the topographical files within the National Museum and all available cartographic and documentary sources for the area. A field inspection has also been carried out with the aim to identify any previously unrecorded features of archaeological or historical interest.

    DALKEY - Deilginis ‘Thorn Island’ COMMUNITY COUNCIL Irish Heritage Town "Ireland's longest-running voluntary community newsletter" First Published April 1974 NEWSLETTER No 512 (Volume 26) Deireadh Fómhair (October) 2020 Sunrise from Dalkey Hill Photo: Michael Ryan ❖ DaLkEy caSTLE & hERiTagE cENTRE upDaTE ❖ Dalkey castle Tours are back in action and preparing for schools to visit in the autumn. The Newsletter: This month, the article will concentrate on the oldest part of the site here: St. Begnet’s Church and Graveyard. St. Begnet’s church was founded around the 7th century, in common with many Early Christian churches. Originally, the church was a wooden structure but was later rebuilt from stone. The majority of the surviving building is Anglo-Norman and is built with granite. The church served the Catholic community until the Reformation of Henry VIII when there was great upheaval. Over the centuries, it served both Catholic and Protestant congregations. The Church was reported to be ‘ruinous’ by 1630. The parish was united with Monkstown in 1689 and St. Begnet’s fell into disuse. The Nave is the oldest part of the church building. Incorporated into the north wall of the nave are two features which were part of the earlier church. One is a small round-headed window on the interior and the other is a stone with a cross picked into the surface on the exterior. The Twin Belfry dates to the 13th or 14th century. The bellcote contained two bells. Access to the belfry was made by climbing up the outside and the bells were struck by hand.
