    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.

  • 2003 Bibliography 16
    CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 16 By John R. Kenyon Introduction I wrote last year, and I quote: ‘I seem to find very little time to actually read many of these items in order to make constructive (or otherwise) comment, rather than rely on authors’ abstracts etc. However, I simply convince myself that the main purpose of this compilation is to let read- ers know what is new, providing some idea regarding content; it is then up to the readers of this bibliography to track down copies of anything they want to see and to read those items for themselves.’ The same holds true of this year, especially as it has been a truly bumper year for material of excellent quality, whether one agrees with everything committed to the page or not. These items of ‘quality’ are both monographs and articles, and although in the past I have grumbled ‘Not another book on castles’, they are all very different, and are gener- ally sound academic publications. I wish that the term ‘quality’ could be applied across the board in terms of actual book production; one author (Oliver Creighton) has not been served well by his publisher as far as the reproduction of the images are concerned, but more on that below. I mentioned last year that I was due to spend a few days in the peace and calm of the library of the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin. This I managed to do, and added some sixty publications, old and new, to “CBA4”, some of which are included here. Before going to Dublin, Con Manning had passed a number of new references onto me, and I am most grateful to him.

This study combines historical, zooarchaeological, genetic and isotopic data from both medieval and post‐medieval samples to address this lack. The paper identifies a peak in the presence of fallow deer between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, with a corresponding peak in documentary evidence for their presence in the thirteenth century. The deer are predominantly male, and from castle sites, supporting the historical evidence for their link with elite hunting. The English origin of the source populations shows correspondence between the documentary evidence, suggesting a western bias, and genetic evidence, with a similarity to southern and western England. Furthermore, isotopic study identifies two possible first‐generation imports, one dating from the medieval and one from the post‐medieval periods.
