What is recorded here
This monument was excavated (Licence no. 08E0155) in advance of road widening. Uncovered at the base of a hill where Donabate church (DU012-005001-) and tower house (DU012-005002-) are located, this was one of two adjacent structures situated on the edge of an early medieval ditch (DU012-082001-). Defined by a rubble-wall collapse, a flagstone floor and the remains of a dry-stone wall (3m E-W) the structure was located immediately E of the second structure (DU012-082002-). Associated with N – S drainage ditches from which a significant quantity of 12th-14th century pottery was recovered (Kavanagh 2011, 14).
