Archaeological monitoring was carried out of conservation works at St Mary’s Church of Ireland Clonmethan, in the townland of Glebe, County Dublin. The nineteenth-century St Mary’s Church (RPS 0146; NIAH 11320004), occupies the site of the medieval parish church of Clonmethan (RMP DU007-006001-); the associated graveyard (RMP DU007-006002-) is still in use. The objective of the works was to repair the church to ensure the maximum retention of historic fabric and ensure the preservation and protection of the structure well into the future.
The conservation works were funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage under Stream 1 of the 2023 Community Monuments Fund (CMF23-1-DF004). The conservation works were carried out from 8 August to 29 September 2023. No potential archaeological features, deposits and/or objects were noted during the archaeological monitoring.
