Recorded monuments

• KD008-013 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  On a gentle SW-facing slope, in mixed tillage and pasture. Visible on a 1967 aerial photograph (CUCAP ATC 51) as a circular area (est. max. diam. c. 40m) defined by the cropmark of a fosse. There is no obvious visible surface trace of the monument but the siting and morphology suggest it may have been a ringfort. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD008-014 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  According to Fitzgerald (1915-17, 376), 'in April, 1569, the crown made a grant … (to) Captain Henry Colley … provided that … he rebuild in Clonkeen ... a castle and bawn of stone … .' The castle is depicted as being occupied on a map of 1744 (NLI Ms. 9212, Map 13, 59), but is not shown on Taylor's 1783 map of County Kildare. In 1837 the OSL (Herity 2002, 31) recorded that, '… there is pointed out the site of an old Castle.' On a very gentle, SW-facing pasture slope just off the crest of a low N-S ridge, c. 25m N of the River Boyne and c. 190m W of River Bridge. There is no visible surface trace of the monument but this location is still acknowledged locally as being the site of a castle. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
