• KD040-002 Historic town
  Description

  The church was founded here in 812 AD (US 1986, 85), and was attached to Bangor. It was plundered in 842, 867, 1040 and 1106; this last recording burning was probably of a wooden structure. The earliest remains of this foundation consist of the round tower and a doorway of twelfth century date. The town was granted to Walter de Riddlesford c. 1181, when he may have built a castle here, although it was probably built at Kilkea (see below) (Orpen 1892, 11), and founded the Fratres Cruciferi priory between 1199 and 1216. The borough was established at this time. The murage grant in 1295 may indicate a walled town. The castle referred to in the town name was built by Gearoid More by 1507, although no castle survives in the town. The Irish name Diseart Diarmada means Dermot's HeRmitage, probably a reference to the Early Christian church site.

The walls were pierced by three gates; the Dublin (at the N), Friary (at the S) and Carlow (at the W) Gates, none of which survive. The walls originally enclosed a pear-shaped area, (dims c. 550m x 375m) and had an overall length of c. 1460m.

  Description

  Town defences: The visible remains consist of two short portions of roughly coursed limestone. One of the surviving sections lies in the convent grounds, near the friary (see below) (L 13.5m; H 2.5m); the other section is just to the N (L 11m; H 3m) where it runs into the Carlow gate, at which point there is a wide basal batter and two bar holes. The walls were pierced by three gates; the Dublin (at the N), Friary (at the S) and Carlow (at the W) Gates, none of which survive. The walls originally enclosed a pear-shaped area, (dims c. 550m x 375m) and had an overall length of c. 1460m. The course of the eastern wall is not clear, but it was probably bounded by the River Lerr. An archaeological evaluation was carried out at a site at Athy Road, Castledermot, Co. Kildare, from 28 October to 2 November 1998, in response to a request for further information by the planning authority regarding an application to construct a housing development. The proposed development site is roughly triangular in outline, occupying most of the area of land between Athy Road on the west, Barrack Road on the east and Carlow Gate Street on the south. The south-west corner of the site abuts the site of Carlow Gate, while the intersection of Carlow Gate Street and Barrack Road, beyond the eastern corner of the development site, is the site of a castle. The known line of the town wall runs through the development site from Carlow Gate north-eastwards to Barrack Road, and the line of this wall can still be made out in part of the site. Seven test-trenches were inserted, based along five trench lines, distributed approximately evenly over the entire site. Two of the trenches were designed to transect the line of the town wall and to permit the comparison of the stratigraphy on the external and internal sides of this feature. The test-trenches were generally dug to a depth of 0.5-1m below the present ground surface. Several features of archaeological significance were identified, including the remains of the town wall, which was indicated by the linear concentrations of stone and rubble uncovered on both the eastern and western sides of the site. On the western side of the site a number of features were noted on the internal side of the town wall. These included a number of small linear cut features as well as at least two possible ditch features, which ran roughly parallel with the line of the town wall. A number of sherds of medieval pottery were found within the fills of these features. On this side of the site the remains of the town wall appeared to be indicated by a band of uncut stone of various sizes, mixed with mortar, which occurred precisely on the line of the town wall as indicated by the Urban Archaeological Survey. This band of stone was 5.2m wide and appeared to run in a north-east to south-west direction. It occurred at a depth of 0.5m beneath the ground surface. Nothing was noted on the external side of the town wall on this side of the site. On the eastern side of the site three distinct bands of stony material, which ran parallel to the line of the town wall, were noted in the known vicinity of this structure. They measured, respectively from south to north, 3.8m, 1.8m and 3m wide and, combined, covered an extent of almost 13m. They occurred between 0.2m and 0.4m beneath the ground surface. These features may indicate a complex structure to the town wall in this area. No features were observed north of the line of the town wall on this part of the site. Other features noted on the internal side of the town wall in this area included a number of possible medieval drains, which may emerge from a habitation area in the vicinity of the street front and run northwards towards the town wall. One of these features produced a medieval iron arrowhead. The area of the site outside the known line of the town wall was largely free of archaeological remains. However, a number of non-specific features also occur in this area. A layer of brown, sandy silt was noted immediately outside the line of the town wall in the central area of the site. This layer produced a single sherd of medieval pottery and a medieval bronze ring-brooch. The occurrence of two medieval finds within this layer, together with the absence of modern inclusions, strongly suggests that this represents a medieval soil horizon. One feature of particular interest occurred in the north-western area of the site. It consisted of a curving band of red and black material. This continued for a distance of at least 1.5m. The material inside this curving band contained fragments of a white material that appeared to represent burnt stone. This may represent a phase of activity pre-dating the medieval occupation of the area. A number of modern stone water conduits and other drains were found in the north-western part of the site (wwww.excavations.ie) Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 8 September 2016

• KD040-002002 Round tower
  Description

  National Monument No. 471. The lower portion of the round tower survives (H. c. 20m). It is of granite with limestone pinnings (int diam. 2.5m; wall Th 2.37m). There are five floors with medieval crenellations above two string courses, but the modern floors do not correspond to the original levels. The entrance is at ground level through a flat lintelled battered doorway. There is an arched window on the first floor, and a flat headed windows between the second and third floors. The windows at the top, and the crenelations are of sixteenth century date. It is joined to the church by a vaulted corridor with wicker centring, of fifteenth century type.

• KD040-002003 Church
  Description

  St. James' parish church lies on what was probably the site of a pre-Norman monastery. It includes Romanesque, thirteenth, seventeenth and nineteenth century elements. The only surviving element of the Romanesque church is a portion of the W gable with a round arched doorway of two orders of triangular voussoirs with a triple row of mouldings giving the impression of chevron ornament. The door jambs have low, rounded mouldings, and are probably of twelfth century date. During the thirteenth century the church was expanded towards the E when a new nave with an aisle at the S was constructed. Of this, the plastered arcade of three pointed arches survives, forming the S wall of the present nave. A splayed window (possibly originally round) at the E has been altered and may be entirely modern. The church was rebuilt in the seventeenth century when the nave arcade was blocked and the N wall was constructed. The round headed windows with internal splays and possibly the chancel arch date from this time. The present chancel and the W wall of nave date to the nineteenth century. The nave was in ruins in 1630 although the chancel was still in repair. The nave may date to 1650-83. (Bradley et al. 1986, vol. 2, 96-9)   The Romanesque archway, only remain of the original twelfth-century church, is a national monument in state care, no. 471, though the rest of the current church is not.

• KD040-002044 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  In 1995, archaeological trial trenching (O’Donovan 1996. Excavation Licence No. 95E0265) in advance of a proposed Local Authority development revealed some 36 medieval pits, and a segment of a fairly substantial ditch (KD040-002045-). The pits varied in size (min. diam. 0.75m; D 0.34m – max. diam 3.94m; D 2.78m) and, while some were cut into one another, most were cut into the natural yellow boulder clay subsoil. All produced substantial quantities of pottery and animal bone. The pottery was largely Irish and included glazed and unglazed wares of 13th and 14th-century date. A large assemblage of soot-encrusted Leinster cooking ware was also recovered. The excavator suggests that the pits may have served a dual function: as well as being receptacles for domestic refuse, the clay dug out to form the pits might have been used for flooring, daub and pottery production.

  In 1995, archaeological trial trenching (O’Donovan 1996. Excavation Licence No. 95E0265) in advance of a proposed Local Authority development revealed a segment of a substantial ditch and some 36 medieval pits (KD040-002044-). The ditch (Wth 2m; min. D 2m) ran N-S (traced L c. 25m) parallel to Main St. and produced pottery dating to the 13th or 14th-century. The presence of silt implies that it once carried water and suggests that it may have functioned as a defensive feature. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 15 January 2013
