- KD022-023: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-023----. A small rectangular field is named 'The Rath' on an 1839 manuscript map by Brownrigg and Longfield in the National Library of Ireland (Ms. 21. F 36 (83-130) map 127). Located mid-way down a short, moderately steep, S-facing pasture slope, overlooking wet, boggy ground to the S. No visible surface traces survive. The rectangular shape indicated on the map suggests a possible moated site; however, the field might have acquired the name because it contained a ringfort.

- KD022-102: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-102----. The excavated site (Thaddeus C. Breen, Licence No. 01E0350: www.excavations.ie) was a deposit of fire-shattered stones in a matrix of charcoal-rich soil. It measured 7.5m by 2.5m and consisted of sandstone and limestone in a ratio of 3:1. This deposit, 0.2m thick, overlay a thin peaty layer with small amounts of burnt stone and flecks of charcoal. This, in turn, overlay two features: a pit and a linear depression which was probably natural. The pit was oval, 2.85m by 1.9m, and up to 0.27m deep. It was filled with dark brown peaty clay containing a large amount of burnt stone. In the base, on the west side, was a deeper cut, also oval (0.66m by 0.43m), which was a further 0.3m deep. The fill of this was charcoal-rich clay containing some burnt stone. Just beyond the south-western edge of the spread, a cluster of stake-holes was found. They ranged in diameter from 0.04m to 0.11m and in depth from 0.07m to 0.24m, and were situated in a shallow area which appeared to be natural, covering an area approximately 1m by 0.8m. The only finds from this site were a sherd of medieval pottery and a piece of possible slag, both found in topsoil. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 23 November 2011
- KD022-103: Excavation - miscellaneous, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-103----. The excavated site (Thaddeus C. Breen, Licence No. 01E0350: www.excavations.ie) consisted of a series of five pits containing fire-shattered stone in a matrix of charcoal-rich soil. They had been cut into by two sets of spade cultivation furrows running at right angles to each other. Pit 29 was approximately oval in plan but quite irregular. From the profile it could be seen that it had been dug at least once. Pit 30, immediately to the south, was likewise multi-phase, consisting of three overlapping pits. Pit 14 was oval, and more regular in shape. It measured 1.22m by 0.85mm and was 0.15m deep, but it may have been truncated. Pit 28 was approximately circular, 2.65m in diameter. It was round-bottomed, with steep sides, and contained four fills. The lowest fill did not contain burnt stone. Three of the fills contained unburnt animal bone. Four sherds of medieval pottery were found in the uppermost fill. Pits 34/35 were two adjoining irregularly shaped pits at the eastern edge of the site. They contained charcoal-rich soil and burnt stones. Twenty-four sherds of medieval pottery were found here. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 23 November 2011
- KD022-104: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-104----. The excavated site (Thaddeus C. Breen, Licence No. 01E0304: www.excavations.ie) lay in a level area near a stream. It was a burnt spread, measuring 13m by 7m, consisting mainly of fragments of fire-shattered stone in a matrix of charcoal-rich soil. The stone comprised limestone and sandstone in a ratio of 30:19. This overlay four pits. Two were oval, 1.2m and 0.95m long respectively, and 0.36m and 0.6m deep. The first of these adjoined a much larger pit, approximately oval but quite irregular. The oval pit may have drained into it, as it was at a higher level and the wall between them seemed to have been an opening which had been blocked up. The larger pit measured 2.5m by 2m and was 0.85m deep. The fourth 'pit' was much less regular and was probably a natural depression. Eight post-holes were arranged around the larger of the two oval pits, but at irregular intervals. Finds included a waste flint flake and a fragment of an iron vessel, both from within the pits.

- KD022-105: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-105----. The excavated site (Thaddeus C. Breen, Licence No. 01E0479: www.excavations.ie) was a low, oval mound, 10-16m in diameter and 0.9m high, is in a boggy area on the line of the Kildare bypass. It was made up of five layers. Under an upper layer of grass-covered peat was a dark peaty layer containing a large quantity of burnt stone (75% sandstone, 25% limestone). Over much of the mound this overlay a deposit of white clay, similar to the natural marl which occurs under the peat, containing cremated bone. Under this was the layer which made up the bulk of the mound material: charcoal-rich soil, containing some lumps of charcoal, with pieces of burnt stone (equal quantities of limestone and sandstone). At least seventeen horizontal bands could be discerned within this deposit in the section. Below this was a layer of silty peat with some charcoal and burnt stone (mostly sandstone). This lay directly on the natural peat. Three metres to the south-west of the mound, about 0.1m below the surface of the natural peat, a further deposit of burnt stone was found. The deposit had been truncated by road construction operations but an area measuring 6m by 3m survived. The deposit (context 9) consisted of grey clay with pieces of burnt stone (60% limestone, 40% sandstone) and charcoal. Some burnt bone was present, and a large number of unburnt cattle bones. This overlay a layer of soft clay containing rounded pieces of unburnt limestone, forming a crude cobbled surface (context 26). Along its eastern edge was a thicker layer of grey clay, without stones but with a few lengths of wood at intervals along the surface (context 34). Both burnt and unburnt bones were found in this layer. Set into this context was an oval deposit of white clay, about 0.7m by 0.5 in diameter, wrapped in a thin covering of bark. This resembled the white marl in the nearby mound, and likewise contained cremated bone. Immediately under it was a sherd of pottery which has been identified as Early Neolithic. Further sherds of the same pottery were found in contexts 9, 26 and 34, and one sherd was found under the nearby mound. A leaf-shaped flint arrowhead and some waste flakes were found in context 26.

- KD022-106: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-106----. 'Site 5', Cherryville was excavated (Thaddeus C. Breen, Licence No. 01E0583: www.excavations.ie) and found to consist of a spread of burnt stone in charcoal-rich soil. It measured 13m by 6m. The stone was mostly sandstone. It overlay a somewhat more extensive grey silty layer. Fifteen pieces of flint, including both artefacts and waste flakes, were found in this lower layer. To the west of the burnt spread was a layer of yellow clay with a large quantity of angular pieces of unburnt sandstone, resembling crude cobbling. The site was crossed by a series of spade cultivation furrows. A stone lancehead was found in the fill of one of these, where it cut through the burnt spread. Underlying and near the burnt spread were 23 pits (there were also further irregular hollows which are more likely to have been natural). Most of the pits were shallow (0.2-0.3m deep) and round or oval in shape. Stake-holes were present in the base of some, in one case round the edge, but in other cases not so linked to the shape of the pit. There were also groups of stake-holes not associated with pits. Two particularly deep pits were found at the western edge of the site, 6.5m west of the burnt spread, partly overlapped by the stony layer. They were approximately oval in plan, just under 2m in maximum diameter, and up to 1.3m deep. They contained a number of fills, including some burnt stone and charcoal, and some unburnt animal bones. During the initial monitoring, a stone axehead was found in the area between the burnt spread and a stream to the south. No other archaeological remains were found there. In the area to the east of the burnt spread, stretching between it and 'Site 6', (KD022-107----) a number of miscellaneous pits and stake-holes were found. One shallow, circular pit, 1.8m in diameter, was subsequently cut by an oval pit with a maximum diameter of 1.59m. The fills of the latter included a layer of charcoal-rich soil with burnt stone. Nearby was a sunken rectangular structure measuring 2.6m by 1.6m. It was 0.15-0.2m deep and had a post-hole at each corner. Immediately outside, halfway along one side, was a stone measuring 0.48m by 0.25m by 0.25m, upright as if deliberately set in the ground, though no cut could be discerned. There were no finds in this structure, nor was there any stratigraphical indication of its relationship to other features on the site. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 23 November 2011

'Site 6', Cherryville was immediately to the east of 'Site 5' (KD022-106----). When excavated (Thaddeus C. Breen, Licence No. 01E0583: www.excavations.ie) it was found to consist principally of a spread of burnt stone and charcoal-rich soil, 9m by 7m by only 0.1m thick. It overlay a layer of compact dark brown clay (C109) which extended beyond it to the north, and a thin layer of peat which extended beyond it to the south. A stone axehead was found in 109. A small number of waste flint flakes were found, mostly in 109 and the burnt spread proper. A few small irregular hollows were found under the burnt spread, but the only real pit was 113, a shallow subrectangular structure measuring 1.23m by 0.7m with a maximum depth of 0.1m. It lay directly under the topsoil, and was cut into the burnt spread and 109. It was filled with a light grey to white silty clay which contained some burnt stone (mostly limestone). At the base, in the middle, were two stake-holes side by side. To the east of the burnt spread was a modern ditch which had been backfilled in recent years.

- KD022-110: Furnace, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-110----. 'Site 12', Cherryville was identified during monitoring as a series of circular patches containing both charcoal and burnt clay. A large number of miscellaneous features were found nearby, spread out over 70m. The entire group was classified as Site 12, but the features are of different dates. When excavated (Thaddeus C. Breen, Licence No. 01E0955: (www.excavations.ie), features 1-8 proved to be bowl furnaces. They ranged in diameter from 1.75m to 0.35m and in depth from 0.5m to 0.06m, but some had been truncated by the levelling of the site during topsoil-stripping. One was a figure-of-eight shape with two bowls, one deeper than the other. The fills of the furnaces included a charcoal-rich layer and a layer of red burnt clay, along with thicker layers of more mixed material. Lumps of slag were found in most of them. The only other finds were a piece of flint, possibly worked, and a sherd of pottery. Nearby was a ninth feature which resembled the others, but on excavation it proved to be shallow with a very irregular base. It does not seem to have been a furnace, but was probably contemporary with them, as it contained similar material. Of the miscellaneous features scattered over the site, the most important included two parallel shallow ditches 5m to the north-west of the bowl furnaces. They may have been the remains of a field boundary. One was 0.6m wide and 0.08m deep, the other was 1m wide and 0.7m deep. The latter cut through a circular pit. This pit and the second ditch both contained some sherds of medieval pottery. Another was an almost circular pit, 1.25m by 1m in diameter and 0.62m deep, near the eastern end of the site. It had straight sides and one side was walled by three narrow upright stone slabs. There were four fills, the lowermost of which was a small layer of charcoal-rich soil. It was situated near a series of recently backfilled ditches but its relationship to them, if any, was not clear. There were no finds. Over 300 sherds of medieval pottery were found on the site. Most of these were found in a series of discontinuous, and rather irregular, linear features in the central area of the site. These may represent traces of field boundary ditches. A pair of bronze tweezers was found in one of these. Further sherds of medieval pottery were found in some post-holes in the same area. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 23 November 2011
