What is recorded here

A substantial double ditched enclosure was identified in the course of the Fingal community geophysical survey project What Lies Beneath (Gimson & Garner 2018). A circular enclosure (diam. c.50m) associated areas of burning, ditches and numerous pits was identified. This area was associated with the sixth century St Colman. In the 1830s John O’Donovan of the Ordnance Survey of Ireland, recorded that the ruins of St Colman’s church were to the north-west of Lanistown Castle (DU012-004---). The enclosure is traversed by a later linear landscape feature defined by two parallel bank and ditches. Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 8 November 2021
