Recorded monuments

• KD014-041001 Church
  Description

  A roll dated 1352 records the 'church of Baledwenii/Baldewynii/Baldewynye' (Bodenstown) as belonging to the priory of Connell and it was still recorded as a possession in an Inquisition of 1606 (Price 1953, 200-01). According to Sherlock (1909-11, 223), '… church, chancel and books (were) in good order about the year 1612 when Bodenstown was held along with the vicarage of Clane by John Golborne, Bishop and Archdeacon of Kildare.' In the N sector of a graveyard (KD014-041002-). A fairly poorly preserved, ivy-clad, rectangular structure (int. dims. L 16.4m E-W; Wth 6.6m N-S) comprises the N, S and W walls of a nave, standing to full height and built of roughly dressed, uncoursed limestone, and the grassed-over foundation wall line of the E gable wall. A slightly raised, grassed-over area (L c. 7m E-W) immediately to the E is the site of a probable chancel, which appears to lie slightly off-line, to the S of the line of the nave. The nave is entered through a nice, round-headed doorway (Wth 1.05m; H 1.68m), with beam-slot hole inside the N jamb, to the N of centre of the W gable wall, which is surmounted by a bellcote. The nave is lit by a round-headed window in the W gable wall and by two, narrow windows in the S wall; one round-headed and the other square-headed. The nave contains fragments of a font (KD014-041003-) and Wolfe Tone's grave abuts the S wall. (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 228-9) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD014-041002 Graveyard
  Description

  On the S side of a road, on the narrow summit of a short, low, N-S pasture ridge in an area of mixed tillage and pasture. An almost square area (dims. L c. 70m; Wth c. 70m) is enclosed by a stone wall and entered from the road along the N. Contains a church (KD014-041001-) in the N sector, with the main concentration of burials to its S. The oldest, legible grave markers date to the 19th century and stand to the E and W of the church. The E and W perimeter and S-third of the interior are planted with palm trees. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD014-041003 Font
  Description

  In Bodenstown church (KD014-041001-). Two granite pieces appear to be part of the same, possibly 13th century baptismal font. One piece is square (dims. L 0.67m; Wth 0.67m) with a central, circular perforation (upper diam. 0.23m; base diam. 0.009m) and forms part of the base. The second, slightly larger piece (dims. L 0.8m; Wth 0.8m) contains a shallow basin which has small, opposing mortices. Sherlock (1899-1902, 298-9) explains that the opposing mortices on a very similar font (KD014-042002-) from Sherlockstown, c. 1 mile to the ESE, would have contained 'iron rivets leaded into the stone for the cover and lock required by the Constitution of Edward, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1236' .
