Place & story
Salvaged bricks from the cottages
On Old Naas Road, just east of this townland, demolition at numbers 8–14 exposed evidence of the cottages’ building materials. Dermot Nelis’s 2018 report records yellow clay bricks stamped Dolphins Barn and red bricks marked Kingscourt Brick & Terracotta Works. Construction workers salvaged both types for reuse. Monitoring also recorded concrete foundations and modern ceramic and plastic drains, but found no archaeological features or artefacts in the development area. This result concerns the monitored site, rather than the whole Bluebell district. [2]
