Recorded monuments

• KD020-004 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Fitzgerald (1915-7, 494) described, 'St. Bridget's Well on Mr. Lyon's farm (as) … now sadly neglected; it is unenclosed, and trodden around by cattle. Though a strong flow of water boils up in it, yet from its position by the side of a gripe, it would require a native of the locality to point it out.' Jackson (1979-80, 161) says the well was visited for toothache and earache cures and tokens were left at it. It was said to have been formerly linked via St. Brigid's path to her church at Kill (KD019-008002-). However, the well was not associated with a pattern and is now covered by a pump house. Visible on a 2005 aerial photo (OSi Orthophoto) with a very large drainage channel leading NNE from the well-house. A holy tree (KD020-004001-) once stood nearby.

• KD020-004001 Ritual site - holy tree/bush
  Description

  Associated with St Brigid's Holy Well (KD020-004----). Fitzgerald (1915-7, 494) records that, 'Some years ago a sally tree stood near it (the holy well), which bore the usual load of votive rags etc.' Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD020-010 Burial
  Description

  In 1936, digging operations in a sand ridge uncovered evidence of burials, but the discovery was only reported and investigated by the NMI in 1939. Material subsequently collected by the NMI actually comprised evidence of two burials from two different locations: a prehistoric burial (KD020-011----) and unburnt human remains comprising adult skull fragments and fragments of a mandible and rib from a juvenile aged 5-7 years. A bone sample was dated 935 ± 35 BP. An object described as a “copper spoon” was said to have been found with the bones. A bullaun stone (KD020-028----) was also recorded in the vicinity.
