Settlement cluster in Ballydoyle

Settlement cluster

What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, sloping slightly to NE. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'There is a Castle upon the lands of Ballydwille & about a Duzen Cabbins with an oarchard' was under the proprietorship of 'James Lord Barn. Of Dunboyne Irish Papist' in 1640 (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 220). In the 1960s an area of earthworks extending c. 150m x 180m N-E-SE of Ballydoyle Castle (TS069-051001-) was levelled. These earthworks were the remains of settlement associated with the tower house and probably dated from the 15th/16th century to the 17th century. Prior to levelling the area a rapid survey was carryed out (Rynne 1966, 72-4).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS069-051002
