Designated sites and recorded monuments
Designated sites
- Proposed Natural Heritage Area: Curragh (Kildare) 000392
Recorded monuments
- KD023-019 Mound
Description
Near the bottom of an E-facing pasture slope which forms the E side of a narrow N-S valley. A fairly poorly preserved, almost circular earthen mound (base diams. 49.7m N-S; 47m E-W; surface diams. 23.3m N-S; 20m E-W), highest at W (H 2.9m) and lowest at E and N (H 1.8m). The edges of the mound have been scalloped by small areas of quarrying and there is a lot of nettle growth in the NE sector. Possibly a natural hillock which has been artificially scarped. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 09 July 2013
- KD023-020 Church
Description
According to Keeley, in 1989 proposed construction of the Droichead Nua By-Pass necessitated archaeological investigation at the site (Licence no. E000484), which was financed by Kildare County Council. A church is marked on Alexander Taylor's 1783 Map of County Kildare, but no other cartographic evidence exists. An article in the Journal of the Kildare Archaeological Society refers to the remains of a church at the site (Fitzgerald 1903-5), and although local tradition placed the church somewhat to the north of Taylor's location, it was considered prudent to investigate further. It was soon evident that much disturbance owing to extensive quarrying had taken place in the area. Though a considerable area was investigated, no evidence of the church was discovered at the site.
