• KD006-002 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 2), ' … the site of Shaughlin's castle … is now covered with three white thorn bushes and some briars. …(its) ancient name was Foxe's Castle'. Furthermore, 'At a distance of about 18 perches (c.90m) to the West of it, was discovered in the making of a ditch, a Vault, which belonged to this Castle, and appears to have been 6 feet (c.1.8m) broad.' On level pasture at the N end of Shaughlin's Glen. There is no visible surface trace of either the castle or 'vault'. Their distance apart is difficult to reconcile, unless the 'vault' was part of the castle and the location of the castle recorded on the OS 6-inch maps is incorrect.

• KD006-003 Church
  Description

  O'Neill (2004-5, 416-9), acknowledging previous studies by O'Keeffe (1985-6, 408-17) and Manning (2002, 18-21), argues for three building phases here: he suggests that an original 11th-century, single cell structure (int. dims. L 8.3m E-W; Wth 4.68m) was converted into a nave when a chancel and chancel arch were added to its E end in the 12th-century (when it was a possession of the diocese of Glendalough), with the building being enlarged again, probably in the 15th-century, when the nave was extended, to the W. At the N end of a graveyard (KD006-003001-) within a possible field system (KD006-017----). A fairly poorly preserved, ivy-clad rectangular structure comprising a well-built nave (int. dims. L 14.5m E-W; Wth. 4.7m) of roughly dressed and coursed, limestone blocks, to the E end of which a smaller (int. dims L 5m E-W; Wth 3m) more crudely built chancel was added, but not bonded. The W end of the nave has collapsed, but the inner face of a doorway (Wth 1.7m) with segmented arch survives towards the W end of the S wall, together with traces of a possible opposing, but now blocked, doorway in the N wall. The nave is lit by two very narrow windows at the E end of the S wall; the more westerly of which is lintelled, while the easterly one although round-arched has a tympanum-stone under the arch giving a square-headed ope. Two similar, opposing windows occur in the chancel, near the E end of it's N and S walls, and there is a third in the E gable wall of the nave (with a similar tympanum to the one in the S wall) which was blocked-up when the round-headed chancel arch (Wth. 2m; H 1.8m), which springs from rectangular abacuses, was inserted. The chancel was lit by a window in its E gable wall which is robbed-out, and by a narrow flat-headed window, now blocked, at the W end of the S wall. The interior contains 18th/19th century burials marked by headstones, and piles of collapsed building stones. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD006-003001 Graveyard
  Description

  In open level pasture, separated from Confey Castle (KD006-004----), c. 160m to the ENE, by a small S-flowing stream which is spanned by a small bridge, and within a possible field system (KD006-017----). A medieval church (KD006-003----) stands at the N end of the graveyard which is shown on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a sub-rectangular area (dims. L c. 40m N-S; Wth c. 30m) which was extended significantly (L plus c. 140m) to abutt the road to the S as shown on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map, and was subsequently extended again, to the E (Wth plus c. 50m) to its present limits. The graveyard is enclosed by a mortared stone wall and the earlier burials occur at the N end, around and to S of the church. Legible gravemarkers date from the 18th century to the present-day and Colgan and Cormack (2004-5, 502-535) have published a survey of the gravestones.

• KD006-004 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Manning (2001, 143-5) published a mid-19th century watercolour by Du Noyer which shows one half of the castle standing to full, five story plus attic, height. There is a vault over the first floor, two projecting, parapetted corner towers are depicted and a heap of rubble is shown on the levelled half of the monument. In open, level pasture, drained to the W by a small, S-flowing stream. The castle stands within a field system (KD006-017----) which also appears to extend around a medieval church (KD006-003----) and graveyard (KD006-003001-) c. 160m to the WSW, the intervening stream being crossed by a small bridge c. 50m to the WSW of the castle. The surviving remains comprise an ivy clad, single, small and now only three storeys high, rectangular corner tower (int. dims. L 1.9m; Wth 1.5m), built of roughly coursed, unbattered, limestone blocks (wall T 0.95m) with hammer-dressed quoins. A narrow lintelled loop is visible in the SW wall at first-floor level. The tower appears to have projected to the SW from the SW angle of the tower house (max. projection 2.3m) and does not appear to have contained a stairs.

• KD006-017 Field system
  Description

  Covering a roughly rectangular area (dims. L c. 450m E-W; Wth c. 280m N-S) in fairly level, wet pasture, bisected by a small S-flowing stream which separates a medieval church (KD006-003----) and graveyard (KD006-003001-) to the SW from a tower house (KD006-004----) to the NE. The remains to the E of the stream, around the castle, comprise a rectangular area (dims. L c. 70m E-W; Wth c. 55m) defined along the S and at the SW corner by a low, broad, earthen bank (Wth 4-5m; int H 0.4m; ext H 1m) and a wide, shallow, outer fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.4-1m) which is crossed mid-way along it's length by an earthen causeway (Wth 4m). A shallow, roughly circular pond (diam c. 12m; D 0.5m) occurs at WSW and is fed from the N by a meandering fosse/drain (Wth 4m; D 1-1.5m) which forms the W limits and which angles sharply E at NW and continues in a straight line E to meet a more modern earthen field boundary which runs N-S and forms the E limits of the site. Traces of low, narrow cultivation ridges (Wth 1.4m; H 0.10-0.15m) with narrow furrows (Wth 0.3-0.4m) running N-S survive in the N-third of the pastured interior, while to the S, similar but more denuded ridges run E-W. Abutting the external SW corner and sharing the main field's fosse at SE and along the S is a smaller rectangular area (dims. L c. 20m E-W; Wth c. 14m) defined along the W by a narrow, shallow fosse (Wth 1.3m; D 0.2m) and along the N by a low scarp (ext H 0.5m) with lower, wetter ground outside. The interior also contains low, narrow cultivation ridges running N-S. Immediately W of this small field is the low platform marking the levelled portion of the tower house and just beyond to the W there is a small sub-rectangular enclosure (dims. L c. 10m N-S; Wth c. 8m) abutting the S-flowing stream at W and defined along N, E and S by a low earthen bank (Wth 2-3m; H 0.4-0.6m). Across the stream, to the W, the remains survive to the W of the church and graveyard and comprise a long, gently curving chord of fosse (possibly the remains of an ecclesiastical enclosure?), (L c. 93m NE-SW; Wth 4m; D 0.5m) which abuts the stream at its N end and which is truncated by a low WNW-ESE scarp (H 0.6m) at the S end. Mid way along its length a similar fosse runs E to the graveyard wall while near its N end a low scarp (H 0.5m) runs SE towards the church, immediately N of which is a low, oval earthen mound (diams. 10m NE-SW; 6m NW-SE; H 0.3-0.5m) defined by a scarp.
