- Description
-
The relevant archaeological literature in recent times has maintained a perception of a section of the Pale Ditch as being extant in the townland of Ballaly (O.S. Six-Inch Sheet 22; NGR 31790/22580) close to Sandyford in south County Dublin (Healy 1978,1; Goodbody 1993a, 29; 1993b, 25; O'Keeffe 1992, 71). Indeed, as early as 1895 it had been suggested that the line of the ditch had ' crossed the Parish of Taney to the south of that part of the lands of Balally now called Moreen (Ball and Hamilton 1895, 8). This assertion was based on information supplied to the writers by G.T. Stokes (Ibid., 9fn). The first detailed report on the relevant feature appeared in the late 1970s (Healy 1978, 1-2). The visible remains were described as a linear earthwork 220m in length. In its best preserved section this consisted of a flat-topped bank with flanking fosses (mostly filled-in) on either side. The bank was further described as being 3-4m wide on top, 6m wide at the base, and l- l .20m in height. The flanking fosses featured an average width of 2m and had a depth of 0.30m. Subsequently, the layout and construction of the housing estate of Kilcross was to take into account the presence of the earthwork and its southern stretch was duly incorporated into the scheme. In the l 990's the projected construction of the South Eastern Motorway, with a proposed route that would directly impede upon the northern stretch of the earthwork, prompted a further archaeological interest was being taken in the site. Hence a test excavation was conducted in 1996 which focused on the northern stretch of th earthwork. This work exposed a linear 'fosse' extending on a north-south orientation (Gracie 1996, 5-6). The recommendations resulting from the test excavation were t propose that a full excavation should proceed in advance of the construction of th relevant section of the South Eastern Motorway.
