Dublin __________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 Introduction 1.1 This document constitutes an archaeological assessment of a c. 3.72ha development site comprising the grounds of Dalguise, Monkstown Road, Monkstown, Co. Dublin (Figure 1). It is being submitted to An Bord Pleanála as part of a Strategic Housing Development application on behalf of Lulani Dalguise Ltd. Dalguise lies within an extensive curtilage to the south of the Monkstown Road. The site of the proposed SHD is surrounded by modern developments, where the northern boundary (excepting the existing and proposed access routes to the Monkstown Road), is formed by the Rochestown Stream (sometimes referred to as the Monkstown Stream), which flows along the base of a steep slope. The eastern and southern boundaries are those first depicted on the Ordnance Survey in the 1830s; to the west the grounds of Carrick Brennan (which were possibly laid out at the same time as the grounds of Dalguise) have been developed for housing. Figure 1 Site location (ASI, Historical Environment Viewer) 1.2 Dalguise is listed in the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Record of Protected Structures (RPS No. 870),1 where it is described as ‘House’ with an address given as Clifton Lane. The house has been heavily altered since its initial cartographic iteration on the 1836 Ordnance Survey as Richmond Cottage, with the name suggestive of a villa-style structure typical of the type of development undertaken across the area from the early nineteenth century. The property incorporates extensive mature landscaped grounds and lawns, a walled garden, greenhouse, 1 Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2016-2022. Appendix 4, Record of Protected Structures. 24.07.2019 1 Lulani Dalguise Ltd. Archaeological assessment Dalguise, Monkstown, Co. Dublin __________________________________________________________________________________________ out-buildings and a separate coachyard. Also within the development footprint are two gate lodges, one of which served an adjacent house, Carrick Brennan. There are no recorded archaeological monuments within the proposed SHD footprint, with the nearest relevant monuments located some 550m to the southeast within two clusters, the medieval ecclesiastical complex at Carrickbrennan and the late medieval towerhouse and settlement complex just to the south of the church. 1.3 The assessment involved a desk-based examination of the available documentary and cartographic sources relating to the site. In addition, a site inspection was undertaken on 2 July 2019 to assess the ground across the open areas and nothing of significance was noted. The assessment did not involve the excavation of archaeological test trenches, however ground investigation logs were consulted. Figure 2 Development site (Google Earth) 24.07.2019 2 Lulani Dalguise Ltd. Archaeological assessment Dalguise, Monkstown, Co. Dublin __________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 Proposed SHD and existing site description 2.1 The proposed SHD comprises inter alia a scheme of eight apartment blocks arranged around the site (Figure 3). Three blocks (Blocks A, B and C) are to be located cut into the slope to the Rochestown Stream and will accommodate 23 and 32 and 32 residential units respectively. The remaining blocks (Blocks D to H) will accommodate 187 apartments around a series of landscaped communal amenity spaces, where 21 terraced and semi-detached houses are also included in the proposed scheme. Figure 3 Proposed SHD masterplan 24.07.2019 3 Lulani Dalguise Ltd. Archaeological assessment Dalguise, Monkstown, Co. Dublin __________________________________________________________________________________________ The conservation and conversion of the existing structures within the coach yard is also proposed to provide a single residential unit, where the conservation and conversion of the upper levels and west wing of Dalguise will provide a further two residential units and a crèche. The application is described as thus: The proposals comprise of a residential development on the lands at Dalguise House (Protected Structure RPS No. 870). The proposed development will comprise of 299 dwelling units within a site area of circa 3.72 hectares. The proposals include: • 274 apartments in a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bed units arranged in 8 no. blocks around a series of landscaped communal amenity spaces; • 21 no. terrace/semi-detached housing (18 no. houses located at the site's Southern perimeter and 3 no. houses located to the North-West of the site); • the conversion of the existing structures within the Stable Yard to the South-West of the site to 1 no. 3-bed house; • the conversion of Dalguise House to 2 no. houses & Crèche in the basement; • the conversion of the existing gate lodge to a Concierge/ Site Manager’s office; • the refurbishment of an existing single storey brick gate lodge; • the relocation and refurbishment of an existing Vinery and Greenhouse within the site; • the demolition of an existing modern dwelling, known as the White Lodge, located at the end of the Dalguise Avenue to the North-West of the site; • the demolition of a modern swimming pool structure adjoining the East wing of Dalguise House and the removal of a non-original, residential garage structure adjoining the walled garden to the South-West of Dalguise House; • circa. 234 no. car parking spaces located in basement & undercroft locations, with 62 no. surface parking spaces; • 388 bicycle parking spaces in secure basement undercroft, 205 at surface level; • residents’ Leisure Suite located on the ground floor of Block E; • associated site works including 2 no. ESB substations, plant areas, refuse storage facilities. Vehicle access and egress is facilitated at Monkstown Road. All access, landscaping, open space, servicing and associated infrastructure will be provided within the red line boundary. 2.2 The site is approached via a tree-lined extending to the south of Monkstown Road. The entrance here is marked by granite pillars inscribed with Dalguise, with fine primary iron railings and gate opening to a narrow avenue which crosses the Rochestown Stream on a modern bridge. A gate lodge to the west of the entrance appears to be derelict andhas a slightly different footprint to the structure depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey mapping. On crossing the stream, one approaches Dalguise along a driveway which extends diagonally across the slope, passing two further lodges. The house, situated back beyond the height up to the right, reveals itself slowly through the planting, where the stream flows along the bottom of the slope to the left within mature vegetation. Dalguise itself is being examined by ARC Architectural Consultants Ltd. and sits behind an extensive area under lawn. To the rear of the house a slight slope extends to the south, with an extensive walled garden immediately to the southeast. An access road follows the western site boundary leading to the coachyard and associated outbuildings located in the southwestern corner of the site. Where the architect of 24.07.2019 4 Lulani Dalguise Ltd. Archaeological assessment Dalguise, Monkstown, Co. Dublin __________________________________________________________________________________________ Dalguise is unknown, the coachyard and the surviving greenhouse just to the east are by the partnership formed by William Mansfield Mitchell and John McCurdy. The site boundaries are marked by mature trees and it is likely that at least some of the vegetation was planted by Joshua M.

Introduction Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council is seeking Ministerial consent for a programme of works to be carried on Dalkey Island, Co. Dublin (RMP no. DU023-029). The proposed project is being undertaken by CRDS Ltd, in collaboration with Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council. It is envisaged that the project will run over a number of months. The National Monuments (Amendment) Act 2004, section 14, (1) (b) requires Ministerial Consent to proceed with the proposed development (see Appendix 3). 2. Site location and Background Dalkey Island Pier, also known as the Boat Harbour, is located on the west coast of Dalkey Island off the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Coastline. Dalkey Island is an uninhabited 22acre island some 300m east of Dalkey Village (see Figure 1). The stretch of water separating the island from the main land is known as Dalkey Sound.
