- KD004-001 Cross
Description
Stands at a T-junction at the SW end of Johnstown Bridge village. Fitzgerald (1891-5, 207) states that it was dug up in the neighbourhood c. 1830 and erected as a commemorative 'suppression' cross, while O'Leary (1896-9, 135-8) suggests that it originated at a church dedicated to St Fionntan at Clonagh Td (KD003-0020----) c. 1.5 miles to the WSW. A pyramidal limestone cross-base (H 0.46m; Wth 0.57m) has a later, 19th century, cherub carved in relief on one face, and carries a small cross in the mortice on its upper surface, on which 'IHS 1412' is carved. It has been placed on a tall column (H 2.2m; Wth 0.6m) of well-dressed limestone blocks. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD004-002 Armorial plaque (present location)
Description
Built into the gate piers of a school near the centre of Johnstown Bridge village. Two square plaques (dims. c. 0.5m; c. 0.5m) one bearing the coat-of-arms of Gerald, eleventh Earl of Kildare, and the other those of Sidney, Lord Deputy of Ireland; which according to O'Leary (1896-9, 135-8) came from Clonagh castle (KD003-017----) c. 2 miles to the W. The possible original location is designated KD003-017002-. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD004-003 Architectural fragment
Description
Incorporated into a modern wall in Johnstown Bridge village. A small, rectangular window-head (dims. Wth c. 0.4m; H c. 0.25m), containing a chamfered, round-headed ope (diam. 0.15m). It may have come from the castle site (KD003-017----) in Clonagh townland, two miles to the W, from where the nearby armorial plaques (KD004-002----) are said to have originated. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD004-036 Enclosure
Description
Visible on an aerial photograph (Karina Holton, SMR file). At the N end of a short, low, pasture ridge, c. 80m E of the N-flowing Togher River, with lower wet, rushy ground immediately to NW-N-NE. A fairly poorly preserved, oval area (int. diams. 31m E-W; 26m N-S) is defined by a low but very broad earthen bank (av. Wth c. 15m; int. H 0.6-1.1m; ext. H 1.3m). The absence of an obviously visible outer fosse suggests the bank-material may have been sourced from the interior of the site. A road runs E-W along the S-limits and a linear 'headland' (Wth 8m) running parallel to the N of the road is fenced off across the enclosing bank with wooden post-and-rail fencing.
