An assessment was carried out in Esker, Lucan. A residential development is proposed for the land to the south and east of the ruined 12th-century St Finian’s church and graveyard. The development is also near the remains of the medieval King John’s Bridge (SMR 17:78).
Ten trenches were excavated to the south and east of the graveyard wall and along the south-western section of the site. Nothing of archaeological potential was found.
