According to Ua Broin (JRSAI, 1944, 200), Brideswell Lane which
ran from a well (RMP DU021-010) to the Naas Road is a survival
of an old road which ran from Clondalkin to Tallaght. Known as
‘Belgard Road’ south of the Naas Road it passed to the west and
very near Newlands House and Belgard Castle.

Measures
Where possible archaeological test excavation should be conducted
in green field areas which are located within the archaeological
constraint area that surrounds these levelled sites. Test excavation
and monitoring should only take place where it is practical and safe
to do so and in consultation with the NRA Archaeologist.
