The National Monuments Service's description
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 an L-shaped dry-stone wall (5m E-W) the structure was associated with N – S drainage ditches from which a significant quantity of 12th – 14th century pottery was recovered (Kavanagh 2011, 13).
