Place & story
A hall site investigated
Martin Byrne’s report, listed as 2015:046 in Excavations.ie, describes twenty-seven test trenches for a proposed community hall at Ballintemple. The plot lay immediately south of an old church and graveyard, across the road from Saint Patrick’s Church. An earlier parochial hall had been demolished in the 1970s, including its foundations. The trenches found no archaeological features or artefacts within the tested development area. The report concerns assessment of the proposed hall site, rather than confirmation that the replacement hall was built. [2]
