• KD019-008004 Castle - motte and bailey
  Description

  According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 292-303), Kill (KD019-008001-) formed part of 'the cantred of Offelan nearest to Dublin' which was granted by Strongbow to Adam de Hereford in the sub-infeudation of Leinster in the early 13th century, around which time, or possibly slightly earlier, the motte was erected, possibly by John de Hereford. No early historical references to the motte are known. In an extent of 1540 the motte is described as, 'a small mountain surrounded by a dry ditch, on which the capital messuage (manor house) was situated, and where the Court Baron (manorial court) is still held, when the turn for it comes'. Situated just SE of Kill village, it is a tree-clad, high, round, steep-sided, flat-topped mound (H. c. 12m; base diams. 57m N-S; 45m E-W; summit diam. c. 20m), girdled by a broad fosse (Wth c. 8m) with an external bank, except between W and N where a slightly raised, sub-rectangular bailey (dims L 57m NE-SW; Wth 30m NW-SE) extends NW. The bailey is enclosed by a bank NW-N-NE (Wth 2m; av. H 1.5m), with traces of an outer fosse. The small, N-flowing Kill River flows through the fosse SW-W-NW. The upper surface of the motte contains a deep depression.

• KD019-010 Enclosure
  Description

  Shown on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map as an oval area (est. max diams. c. 70m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) defined by a bank, standing c. 70m E of Kill motte-and-bailey (KD019-008004-). Described in 1955 as a sub rectangular enclosure, of which no visible surface traces survived in 1973 (SMR File).

• KD020-001 Hillfort
  Description

  A low, domed hill (OD 120-153m) on the W-edge of rising ground which climbs gently E to the foothills of the Wicklow mountains, and overlooks lower tillage and pasture to the W. Two widely spaced (av. Wth c. 120m), concentric, hedged, earthen banks generally follow two contours to enclose the hill. The lower, outer enclosure is complete (est. diam. c. 570m). The inner enclosure (est. diam. c. 350m) survives WSW-NW-NNE, and while an aerial photograph (GSI N384) shows the crop marks of fosses completing the circuit NNE-S-WSW, no visible surface trace of these features was located in the heavy vegetation covering parts of the interior of the monument. The interior was subdivided by later field boundaries radiating between the two enclosing elements, some of which, at NW, have since been levelled. A small enclosure (KD020-002----) lies in the E sector, between the inner and outer enclosures. The hillfort was recently described in the Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland as following; 'Multiple enclosure surrounding the low, domed summit and W slopes of Kill hill. The site is situated at the NE foothills of the Wicklow Mountains and overlooks the town of Naas to the SW. The site comprises three widely spaced (on average 120m apart) concentric enclosing elements which are circular in plan, measuring approximately 593 meters in maximum diameter. The site has a total footprint of 26.2ha. The outer enclosing elements comprise earthen banks topped with modern hedges and are likely to have been altered. The middle enclosing elements are apparent in the N, however, the remainder of its circuit and inner enclosing elements have been levelled and are visible only in aerial photography. There are no recorded entrance features. A possible ring-barrow is located between the inner and middle enclosing elements in the E. Interior is under pasture. There is some partial scrub growth at W of interior. LiDAR survey by Ordnance Survey Ireland. No archaeological investigations of hillfort. Depicted in first and second edition Ordnance Survey maps as a series of curving field boundaries. The NE section of the hillfort forms the townland boundary between Kill Hill and Boherphilip. The SE section of the hillfort forms the townland boundary between Kill Hill and Rathgorragh.'

  Description

  On an E-facing pasture slope in the E sector of a hillfort (KD020-001----). Visible on a 2005 aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto) as the crop mark of two possible concentric fosses enclosing a circular area (est. max diam. c. 40m). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
