One part of this directive stated that: ‘A Conservation Plan for the area containing the structures and features to be preserved in situ should be submitted to the NMS [National Monuments Service] before the completion of the archaeological mitigation works. The plan should include a detailed architectural assessment of the farmhouse and other structures. Proposals for the long-term conservation of the area of the monument to be preserved in situ should also be included'. The final report on the archaeological excavations at the site were submitted to the Council in August 2012, allowing the conservation process to begin with full knowledge of what has been discovered during archaeological investigations. To fulfil this Ministerial Directive the Council established a Steering Committee consisting of the following members1: Tim Carey, Heritage Officer, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council Gerry Concannon, Senior Executive Engineer, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council Ian Doyle, Head of Conservation, The Heritage Council Rónán Swan, Head of Archaeology, National Roads Authority Pamela O’Connor, Senior Architect, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. 3 DRAFT Carrickmines Castle Conservation Plan, February 2014 1.2 The Conservation Plan process The Conservation Plan is a process that seeks to guide the future development of a place through an understanding of its significance James Semple Kerr2 A Conservation Plan is a document3 that states why a place is significant, and develops policies to ensure that significance is retained in the long-term. It is driven by the need to understand why a place is important, and it provides a framework for managing the place so that its cultural significance is not lost in the future. The Conservation Plan process was developed after the 1981 Burra Charter of ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites) which introduced the concept of cultural significance as the basis for conservation policy making and management. Conservation Plans were introduced to Ireland in 1998 by The Heritage Council as a useful tool to understand and protect historic sites, to secure funding for conservation works and particularly to achieve consensus for historic places where there are several elements of historic significance and conflicting priorities. Above: The farmhouse at Carrickmines, c.1960 (left) and the site during archaeological excavations (right). The Conservation Plan differs from other types of reports used for historic places such as management plans (which can have a wider scope and include financial planning and immediate works) and archaeological or architectural heritage reports (which are often prepared in response to a particular development proposal). A Conservation Plan instead 4 DRAFT Carrickmines Castle Conservation Plan, February 2014 focuses on understanding a place, and then translating that understanding into specific policies and actions to care for what is important about a site. Conservation, at its most basic, involves handing on to future generations what we value. Conservation advisors are not there to stand in the way of change, but to negotiate the transition from the past to the present in ways that minimize the damage that change can cause, and maximize the benefits. Kate Clarke 4 Conservation Plans are often the first step in a design process for a historic place. However, it must be stressed that the situation at Carrickmines is an atypical one. Theisplan is being produced at the end of an incomplete process of discovery about the site. There are limited upstanding remains and these upstanding remains tell, in and of themselves, an incomplete story. There remains almost a complete lack of knowledge of the archaeology of the unexcavated core of the site and there is no intention to recommence excavations. Despite all of this the Conservation Plan and the process of its production remains a useful to tool to re-assess the significance of the place, and provides a focus on the policies for the future of the Carrickmines Castle site. 1.3 Scope of the Carrickmines Castle Conservation Plan The area that is covered by the Conservation Plan is the area that has been enclosed by the security fencing since the motorway works. This contains what is believed to be the unexcavated core of the Carrickmines complex. Most of the surrounding area has been archaeologically ‘resolved’ and is not dealt with in this document apart from its importance for providing access to the site. In accordance with the principles of the Australian ICOMOS charter for the Conservation of Places of Cultural Significance (the Burra Charter) as revised (2013) and other guidance documents, this conservation plan intends to: • Understand the Carrickmines Castle site within the limitations set by the low level of knowledge about the site 5 DRAFT Carrickmines Castle Conservation Plan, February 2014 • Assess the significance of the Carrickmines Castle site (including all values) • Explore and identify issues which threaten that significance • Set appropriate policy aims and objectives to guide the management of the heritage of the place • Agree a series of management actions to care for the site by implementing the objectives of the Conservation Plan and its agreed policies. • Monitor and review the plan The Conservation Plan has drawn heavily on the information generated through previous historical and archaeological research arising from past development work at the site including a proposed realignment of Ballyogan Road c.1983, sewerage works c.1996, the laying of a gas pipeline c.1998, and especially the final excavation report arising from archaeological resolution of Carrickmines accompanying the construction of the M50 motorway c.1999-2005. These sources are listed in Table 1. It is fully recognised that there are gaps in our understanding of the site due to the absence of knowledge of the unexcavated core of the site, believed to contain the site of the castle. Extensive efforts have been made to synthesis the very large body of archaeological evidence collected during excavations at this location into a meaningful story which explains the history and significance of the place and the sequence of events and developments at the site. 1.4 Archaeological Investigations "…the most extensive rural settlement to have been excavated in the Dublin area…" Thaddeus Breen Though a considerable amount of information has been generated about the site of Carrickmines Castle, only selected aspects have been published to date. Much of the area surrounding the site was excavated in advance of the construction of the M50 motorway after a series of desktop, aerial and geophysical surveys. This external area was excavated in two phases: first between August 2001 and July 20025, followed by a second phase from September 2002 until March 20056. Therefore most of the area surrounding the site 6 DRAFT Carrickmines Castle Conservation Plan, February 2014 was archaeologically investigated. The final report7 issued to Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and the National Roads Authority was by Valerie J. Keely Ltd. in 2012. Timeline of Historical and Archaeological Research Year Report 1983 An archaeological report by P. Healy of July 1983 was commissioned by Dublin County Council in relation to a proposed realignment of Ballyogan Road. This identified 23 sites, including Carrickmines Castle8. 1993-6 Ten (10) archaeological reports and surveys produced by Valerie J. Keeley Ltd. on proposed routes, including: 1993, April: Archaeological Report as part of Environmental Impact Assessment REF: Keeley 1993b 1994, February: Revised Assessment based on revised maps. This report noted 'the remains of an old wall ... visible as part of a farm shed' tentatively suggested as part of the castle, and earthworks. 1996, February: Archaeological Assessment of three proposed routes (A, B & 5) Ref: Keeley 1996a 1996, July: 96E236 Archaeological Monitoring of Carrickmines-Shanganagh Main Drainage Scheme by Archaeological Services Unit on behalf of Valerie J. Keeley Ltd. noted post-medieval burning sites (2) and a post-medieval stone drain. 1996, August: Geophysical survey by Valerie J. Keeley Ltd. & Geoquest Associates (REF: VJKeeley & Geoquest 1997) indicated rectangular enclosures and a ditch south of the farmhouse. The earthworks were not surveyed.

  • CSG Bibliog 24
    CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 29 (2016) By Dr Gillian Scott with the assistance of Dr John R. Kenyon Introduction Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the CSG annual bibliography, this year containing over 150 references to keep us all busy. I must apologise for the delay in getting the bibliography to members. This volume covers publications up to mid- August of this year and is for the most part written as if to be published last year. Next year’s bibliography (No.30 2017) is already up and running. I seem to have come across several papers this year that could be viewed as on the periphery of our area of interest. For example the papers in the latest Ulster Journal of Archaeology on the forts of the Nine Years War, the various papers in the special edition of Architectural Heritage and Eric Johnson’s paper on moated sites in Medieval Archaeology. I have listed most of these even if inclusion stretches the definition of ‘Castle’ somewhat. It’s a hard thing to define anyway and I’m sure most of you will be interested in these papers. I apologise if you find my decisions regarding inclusion and non-inclusion a bit haphazard, particularly when it comes to the 17th century and so-called ‘Palace’ and ‘Fort’ sites. If these are your particular area of interest you might think that I have missed some items. If so, do let me know. In a similar vein I was contacted this year by Bruce Coplestone-Crow regarding several of his papers over the last few years that haven’t been included in the bibliography.

  • Sustainable Management of Tourist Attractions in Ireland: the Development of a Generic Sustainable Management Checklist
    SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN IRELAND: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GENERIC SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT CHECKLIST By Caroline Gildea Supervised by Dr. James Hanrahan A dissertation submitted to the School of Business and Humanities, Institute of Technology, Sligo in fulfilment of the requirements of a Master of Arts (Research) June 2012 1 Declaration Declaration of ownership: I declare that this thesis is all my own work and that all sources used have been acknowledged. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis centres on the analysis of the sustainable management of visitor attractions in Ireland and the development of a tool to aid attraction managers to becoming sustainable tourism businesses. Attractions can be the focal point of a destination and it is important that they are sustainably managed to maintain future business. Fáilte Ireland has written an overview of the attractions sector in Ireland and discussed how they would drive best practice in the sector. However, there have still not been any sustainable management guidelines from Fáilte Ireland for tourist attractions in Ireland. The principal aims of this research was to assess tourism attractions in terms of water, energy, waste/recycling, monitoring, training, transportation, biodiversity, social/cultural sustainable management and economic sustainable management. A sustainable management checklist was then developed to aid attraction managers to sustainability within their attractions, thus saving money and the environment. Findings from this research concluded that tourism attractions in Ireland are not sustainably managed and there are no guidelines, training or funding in place to support these attraction managers in the transition to sustainability. Managers of attractions are not aware or knowledgeable enough in the area of sustainability.

  • 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.

    Working Paper No. 386 May 2011 Does the housing market reflect cultural heritage? A case study of Greater Dublin Mirko Moro*, Karen Mayor**, Seán Lyons***, Richard S.J. Tol**** Abstract: Does the housing market reflect cultural heritage? We estimate several specifications of a hedonic price equation to establish whether distance to cultural heritage site is capitalised into housing prices in Greater Dublin, Ireland. The results show that distance to the nearest historic building has a significant and robust effect on housing prices. To our knowledge this is the first application of the hedonic price method to cultural heritage.
