Recorded monuments

• KD015-008 House - 16th/17th century
  Description

  Named 'Castlenarning' on the Down Survey (1655-6), where it is shown as a large gabled house in the vicinity of the current 'Castlewarden House', which dates to the late-18th/19th century and which, according to Garner and Craig (Foras Forbatha 1976, 56: SMR File) may be on the site of 'an important seventeenth century house' . Now the clubhouse of 'Castlewarden Golf and Country Club'. A motte and bailey (KD015-009001-) stands c. 300m to the NW. In 2002, a building survey and archaeological test-trenching (Excavation Licence No. 02E0346: www.excavations.ie) was undertaken before construction of an extension to 'Castlewarden House'. The Down Survey representation was interpreted as suggesting a fortified or semi-fortified house akin to the small 17th-century house at Derrin, Co. Laois (Craig 1982, 135), or a larger, T-plan or H-plan building with two or four flanking towers. The west/central footprint of the existing building at basement/ground-floor level contained thick walls (T 0.6-0.8m) that, while heavily rendered, might incorporate parts of a 17th-century structure: these walls formed a T-shape, measuring 12.8m east-west by 6m, with the stem of the T projecting north for a further 6m and encompassing a staircase. Some 18th-century components were present on the exterior of the building, particularly in the south façade, indicating some renovation and/or rebuilding at that time. Castlewarden House had been added to several times in the last twenty years. The areas adjacent to what was formerly the basement had been excavated and landscaped to provide access to the former basement/present ground floor. This landscaping has removed any archaeological material that may have existed adjacent to the exterior walls. Test-trenching revealed a single find which may date to the 17th-century phase of Castlewarden House: a thick, trapezoidal, vernacular roof slate/stone shingle with late medieval/early post-medieval parallels.

• KD015-009001 Castle - motte and bailey
  Description

  According to Killanin and Duignan (1967, 329), the monument was built by Adam de Hereford. On a very gentle W-facing slope, much altered locally by the construction of the Castlewarden Golf and Country Club, towards the W end of which the monument stands. Described in 1977 (SMR File) as a fairly level, D-shaped mound (diam. 45m E-W; ext. H at E 3m; ext H at W 1m) with a straight E side (L 27m N-S) with traces of a low bank at SW. The mound was girdled SE-W-NE by a broad fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.5-1m), and a high, wide, outer bank (Wth 5m; H 2m), outside of which a second, shallow fosse ran (Wth 3m). The enclosing bank and fosse were not noted along the straight E side, but a shallow fosse or leat ran NE from the NE base of the mound to connect with a nearby stream. A gap in the enclosing bank at W did not have corresponding causeways across the inner and outer fosses. A lower, almost square area (dims. L c. 30m; Wth c. 30m) defined by a low bank on a scarp, immediately to the E was subsequently identified as a possible bailey. This now acts as the 10th Green with the 11th Tee immediately to the S, while the motte is abutted at N by the 13th Green and at S by the 12th Green. The monument was associated with a series of low earthworks/enclosures (KD015-009002-). Registered as a Historic Monument (Medieval Earthwork Complex) on 19-July-1976.

• KD015-009002 Enclosure
  Description

  An aerial photograph (GSI N 397-8) shows Castlewarden motte and bailey (KD015-009001-) at the centre of a series of low earthworks: radiating off the bailey is a system of small fields enclosed by fosses, while a large area (est. dims L c. 120m E-W; Wth c. 110m) extending N, S and W of the motte is apparently defined by a fosse. The subsequent creation of Castlewarden Golf and Country Club on the site, has altered and obscured these features. Registered as a Historic Monument (Medieval Earthwork Complex) on 19-July-1976.

• KD015-026 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

Outline of possible ring-barrow (approx. overall diam. 11m) consisting of a circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 7m) enclosed by a fosse that is visible on Google earth aerial imagery.
