• KD023-015 Standing stone
  Description

  Near the highest point of a gravel ridge. A tapering granite stone with a roughly rectangular cross-section (H. 1.9m; L 0.4m N-S; Wth 0.3m tapering to L 0.2m; Wth 0.14m at the top). There are two depressions (possibly mortices cut for cross arms) on opposing, originally N and S, faces. The stone was removed in 1979 and re-erected at Baroda stud in Greatconnell townland, but was moved again subsequently. Burials (KD023-071----) have been discovered in this general area since the late-1940’s. (Meagher 1979-80, 123) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 06 June 2012

• KD023-016 Religious house - Augustinian canons
  Description

  In level pasture at the W foot of a low rise, some 300m E of the River Liffey. Augustinian Abbey/Priory founded in 1202 by Meyler Fitzhenry and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St David (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 154, 177). It housed regular canons from the Monastery of Llanthony, in Monmouthshire, Wales. In 1458, the 'rectory and towns of Morristown and Ladytown' were granted to the Prior (Fitzgerald 1896-9, 305, 313). The monastery as suppressed on the 24th of November 1540 and the monastic estate was described as following; 'Robert Wesley (presumably the last prior) was granted a pension of over £13, five other canons smaller amounts; the jurors found that all the buildings were standing as at the time of dissolution; the body of the church had been the parish ch[urch] from time immemorial, the chancel and the chapel of B.M. [Blessed Mary] to the north of it could be demolished, but the belfry could be converted into a castle or fortilage to defend the town (KD023-016004-) and district by the farmer who would need all other buildings, etc., on the 4-acre site; there was a dovecote (KD023-016003-) on the town walls (KD023-016005-), the demesne being 131 acres, and the possessions included over 1,260 acres, a mill (KD023-016006-), five castles, many messuages and cottages' (White 1943, 157; Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 177). The monastic estate was granted to Edward Randolfe and in reversion to Sir Edw. Butler, and re-granted in 1560 to Sir Nicholas White: and to Sir Edmond Butler in 1566' (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 177). In 1781, the extant ruins of Greatconnell Abbey were sketched by Austin Cooper who recorded that; 'one part which I suppose to be both nave and choir, but between which no distinct separation can be made, measures about 200 feet long (c. 61m) and 25 feet broad (c. 7.6m), in part where of are two entire Gothic windows ... very extensive ruins adjoining, in which are some pillars, with curious capitals. In the choir ... the remains of some stalls ... among the ruins ... the tomb of bishop ... Wellesley' (Fitzgerald ibid, 313). Cooper’s drawing shows the S wall of the nave with a doorway to the cloister garth, the ruins of which are also partially shown, the ruins of an arch indicating a N aisle, and the lower courses of the E window of the Lady Chapel (pers. comm. Mr. Conleth Manning, 2005). This E window of the Lady Chapel is the only portion that remains upstanding and has been incorporated into the boundary of the post-1700 graveyard (NLI Coo 2122 TX (1) 3). Most of the abbey buildings were demolished at the beginning of the 19th century and the material was used for the erection of military barracks at Newbridge (Fitzgerald ibid, 313). The E gable of the Lady Chapel was incorporated into the E and S walls of a post-1700 graveyard (KD023-016001-) which occupies the E end of the chapel, including the lower courses of a buttressed E gable wall containing the base of a large window, and a projecting NE angle with a battered base faced with finely dressed granite ashlar. Incorporated in the S wall of the graveyard is a length of arcading, now missing any dressed stone. The Urban Survey of Kildare (Bradley et. al. 1986 vol. 3, 228-9 Fig. 104) recorded that Bishop Walter Wellesley’s effigial tomb (KD023-016002-) was removed from Greatconnell Abbey to its present location (KD022-029034-) in St. Brigid’s Cathedral, Kildare (KD022-029005-). In 2006, an archaeological geophysical survey (Bonsall and Grimson 2006) revealed and mapped extensive (7 hectares) sub-surface remains associated with the priory including a possible deserted settlement (KD023-016004-). Features identified included levelled masonry remains, probable burials, a possible trivallate enclosure, a street pattern and burgage plots together with areas of plough furrows on multiple alignments. Google Earth aerial imagery taken 28/06/2018 shows extensive cropmarks belonging to the monastery of Great Connell in the fields to the S, SW and W of the abbey graveyard. (Fitzgerald 1891-95, 149; 1903-5, 297; 1912-14, 257, 267, 269; Leask 1935-45, 273-4; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 206; Healy 1984, 2) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 23 April 2019

• KD023-016001 Graveyard
  Description

  Post-1700 graveyard which was built inside the E end of the Lady Chapel of the 13th century Augustinian Abbey (KD023-016----). In 1781 a drawing of the E gable of Lady Chapel and the Augustinian abbey shows that at this time the area was not being used as a graveyard by the local people (NLI Coo 2122 TX (1) 3). The E gable of the chapel forms the E boundary of the post-1700 graveyard. The N wall of the abbey forms the N boundary of the graveyard while the S wall of the abbey represents the S boundary of the burial ground. The N face of the S wall of the graveyard has evidence of vaulted arcading belonging to the 13th century abbey. The W wall of the graveyard with its round-arched gateway appears to be the only section of post-1700 boundary wall. The graveyard consists of a small rectangular-shaped area (c. 27m E-W; c. 17m N-S) enclosed by a stone wall entered through a post-1700 round-headed gateway in the W wall. The enclosed area is higher than surrounding ground level. Table tombs, graveslab and headstones date from the 18th century onwards.

• KD023-016002 Sheela-na-gig
  Description

  A Sheela-na-gig carved on the underside of a capital on the tomb of Bishop Wellesley (d. 1539) (KD022-029034-) which was originally located at Great Connell Priory (KD023-016----), and has since been re-erected in Kildare Cathedral (KD022-029005-) (Freitag 2004, 134). This Sheela-na-gig was described by Freitag (op. cit.) as being ‘carved on slab; head cut off; arms splayed out with hands joining over pudenda; legs widely splayed, knees bent’.

• KD023-016003 Dovecote
  Description

  In level pasture at the W foot of a low rise, some 300m E of the River Liffey. Augustinian Abbey/Priory (KD023-016-----) founded in 1202 by Meyler Fitzhenry and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St David (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 154, 177).

The monastic estate was granted to Edward Randolfe and in reversion to Sir Edw. Butler, and re-granted in 1560 to Sir Nicholas White: and to Sir Edmond Butler in 1566' (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 177). Small circular-shaped cropmark (approx. diam. 7m) visible on Google Earth aerial imagery taken 28/06/2018 may possibly represent the remains of the medieval dovecote which was mentioned above in 1540 as standing 'on the town walls' of the Augustinian monastery of Great Connell.

  Description

  Augustinian Abbey/Priory (KD023-016----) founded in 1202 by Meyler Fitzhenry which was founded 590m NE of a fording point over the River Liffey annotated 'Connell Ford' on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. The present disused roadway which runs immediately N of the monastery and then turns SW towards the river probably follows the line of a medieval routeway which traversed the River Liffey at 'Connell Ford'. The terrier of the 17th century Down Survey map for the barony of Great Connell recorded the presence of 'Connell Foords' over the River Liffey.

• KD023-016008 Tomb - effigial
  Description

  Now located in S transept of Kildare Cathedral (KD022-029005-). The County Kildare Archaeological Society were responsible for removing the Walter Wellesley Tomb from Great Connell Abbey (KD023-016---) to Kildare Cathedral for safekeeping in 1971. The tomb was re-erected in S transept of Kildare Cathedral on 17 July 1971. Prior to this move the effigial tomb had been broken up into several fragments that had been inserted into the S face of the W wall of the graveyard either side of the entrance gate. Photographs taken by Edwin Rae show the fragments incorporated into the W wall of the abbey graveyard (KD023-016001-) ( http://hdl.handle.net/2262/34868). The Urban Survey of Kildare (Bradley et. al. 1986 vol. 3, 228-9 Fig. 104) described the effigial tomb as following; 'Of limestone, the end panels are complete but the side panels only survive in fragmentary sections (L 1.9m; Wth 0.98m; H 0.94m). The Bishop is depicted under a pinnacled and crocketed canopy which is supported by two angels carrying shields emblazoned with crosses, the arms of Wellesley. He wears an amice or neck-scarf, a chasuble decorated with a central panel of fine embroidery, a fringed dalmatic, an alb and a girdle. His manipled left hand holds a foliated, in-turned crozier and the gloved right hand is raised in blessing. The feet rest against a socle decorated with foliage.

A marginal inscription in incised Gothic lettering reads: ‘HIC JACET FRATER WALTERUS WELLYSL[E]Y QUODAM EPUS DAREN AC HUJ DOMUS/ COMMENDATARIUS CUIUS AIE PPICIETUR DEUS Q OBI[T] ANNO DOM[]NI MCCC (unfinished). Translation: ‘Here lies brother Walter Wellesley, formerly bishop of Kildare and commendatory prior of this house, on whose soul God have mercy, who died in the year of the Lord 15[39].’ The reconstructed tomb panels consist of a number of fragments which appear to have been carved by different hands, and the E side panel did not belong to this tomb originally. The head end-panel bears an ‘Ecce Homo’; the foot end-panel bears a crucifixion; the W side-panel, in two parts, depicts SS John the Evangelist, Patrick and Peter; the E side panel depicts SS Andrew, Thaddeus and Matthias'.

• KD023-017 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  On Baroda Stud Farm, c. 450m ENE of Connellmore House. Although not shown on either the 1st ed. (1838) or latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map, the OS Letters (Herity 2002, 73 (214)) record that it was named after St. Augustine, while the monument is named 'St. Austin's (Holy Well)' on the intervening OS 25-inch map. Jackson (1979-80, 148-9) states that while no pattern was associated with this well, tokens were left at it. According to Clarke (1968, 341), the well, surrounded by some half dozen trees and having been dry for the previous 30 years, ‘was restored to use and blessed’ in 1968.
