• KD014-026004 Castle - motte
  Description

  The barony of Otyny (modern Barony of Clane) was granted to Adam de Hereford, who in turn granted it to his brother Richard, and the De Hereford's were probably responsible for the erection of the motte in the late-12th century (Bradley et al. 1986, vol. 2, 141-2). According to Cooke-Trench (1899-1902, 109) there was a local tradition that the top of the monument sank c. 1830 and skeletons were found there. In 1940, Leask described the motte as being surrounded by a concentric bank and ditch and noted a report that it was being dug away (SMR file). It stands on level pasture at the S end of Clane village, where it would have controlled an important crossing point (KD014-026008-) on the River Liffey c. 160m to the E. It is a high, conical, steep-sided, flat-topped mound (H c. 8m; diams. at base c. 47m E-W; c. 41m N-S; diam. at summit c. 14m). The sides are overgrown with mature trees and briar, but disturbance at the NE sector c. 1970 revealed a composition of 'gravel and small boulders and a thick layer of brown earth' (SMR file). At its base at N, a small area is denuded of sod-cover and reveals a banded-composition comprising a narrow layer of small angular, fist-sized stones (H 0.3m) with a layer of clay above (H 0.5m) and a second layer of stones (H 0.5m) above again. A shallow fosse (Wth 3.3m; D 0.7m) girdles the base W-N-SSE, but there is no visible trace of the bank noted by Leask. A holy well (KD014-026009-) lies c. 3m to the W. In 2003, archaeological excavation (Excavation Licence No. 03E0904: www.excavations.ie) in advance of a commercial development revealed two pits of medieval origin immediately S of the motte. One was sub rectangular in shape (dims. L 3m; Wth 2.5m; D1.5m) and waterlogged, and contained charcoal fill and 35 sherds of medieval pottery along with some animal bone. The second was smaller and roughly circular (diam. c. 0.8m) with a single fill containing five sherds of medieval pottery. Several fragments of ditches, truncated by modern activity, were also discovered but none contained medieval material.

• KD014-026009 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 42 (128)), 'This was formerly frequented as a holy well. Jackson (1978-80, 147) mentions a late 19th century reference that a procession and pattern were held at the well up to the late 1830's, but comments that, since Sunday was a day of devotion, patterns were not usually held at 'Sunday's' wells. The well lies in level pasture c. 3m to the W of Clane motte (KD014-026004-). It is enclosed in a concrete-roofed, rectangular structure (L 1.8m; Wth 0.8m; H 1m) of concrete blocks, open at the N end, from which a pipe draws water off for domestic use. This spring may once have fed the outer fosse of the adjoining motte? Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD014-026016 Megalithic structure
  Description

  No surface remains visible of a possible megalithic structure that was located in the disused quarry located 85m W of the River Liffey and 100m SW of the head of the mill race of the woollen factory in the village of Clane. According to Bradley et al. (1986, vol. 2, 161), 'Sherlock (1891-5, 27) suggested that a feature known as "St Brigid's Chair and Thimble" was a 'cromleac'. It was situated "a little way above the head of the millrace at Clane, where there is now a disused quarry". It was broken up in the mid-nineteenth century'. The disused quarry mentioned above is depicted on the 25-inch OS map in the townland of Carrigeen. The large quarry is also depicted on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map where a limekiln is indicated. There is no depiction of any possible megalithic tomb in this quarry on the first edition OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 18 June 2018
