Recorded monuments

• KD025-005 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Although not recorded on any edition of the OS mapping, Taylor's Map of County Kildare (1783) shows a castle in this area. In tillage at the SW foot of a steep hill. In 1986, during clearance works in a field known locally as 'Castle Field', a hoard of pewter plates, a medieval tile, portions of two cauldrons and an undated token were found (NMI file). While no visible surface trace of a castle survives, the finds suggest it may have stood in this general area. (De Burgh 1896, 315) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 23 July 2012

• KD025-006 Enclosure
  Description

  On summit of a high step-sided hill (OD c. 270m ), in mixed tillage and pasture. A circular area (diam. 58m) is defined by a low earthen bank (int. H 0.5-1m; ext H 0.7-1.2m) with external stone facing S-W-NE, and traces of a possible narrow, outer fosse (Wth 1m) S-W. No visible entrance. The tree-planted interior contains a centrally located, low circular mound of earth and stone (base diam. 10m; surface diam. 2m; H 0.6m), probably a trigonometrical station.

• KD025-007 Burial
  Description

  In undulating pasture. Discovered in 1983 during topsoil-stripping for the construction of the Cork-Dublin natural gas pipeline. Most of a flat-based, bucket-shaped pot containing ‘tiny fragments of burnt bone’ was found standing upright in a pit of only very slightly larger volume and shape, which may originally have been sealed by a covering stone. While the paucity of the burnt bone led the excavator to caution against interpreting it as a cinerary urn, the form of the vessel suggests a Late Bronze Age date. (Cleary et al. 1987, 43).

• KD025-010 Hearth
  Description

  A ‘cist-like setting of stones with evidence for extensive in situ burning’ (pers. comm. M. Cahill NMI). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 24 July 2012

  Description
