Recorded monuments

• KD018-003 Castle - tower house
  Description

  According to O'Grady (1904-5, 462-4), the castle was a stronghold of a branch of the Fitzgerald family, and is mentioned in 1553 and in 1650 when it was taken by Cromwellian troops under Hewson. O'Grady also reproduces a photograph taken c. 1900, entitled 'Remains of Kilmeague Castle' which shows a two-storied structure with traces of an almost destroyed third-floor, and a possible bawn wall. The castle was built of sandstone with randomly coursed, rubble masonry, and appears to have had a mural stairs. It stood at the foot of a S-facing, pasture slope with wet, marshy ground immediately to the S, but no upstanding remains survived in 1986 (SMR File). (Valkenburg 1970, 525) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD018-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Described in 1972 as a roughly oval-shaped rath (diams. 59m E-W; 44m N-S) defined by an inner bank of earth and stone, which was hedged as a field boundary and gapped at W and S, and by an outer fosse. By 1986, the monument had been reduced to a low rise (H 0.6m) surrounded by a cropmark of thistles (SMR file). On a gentle S-facing pasture slope. The monument is still visible as a very slightly raised, oval area but later field boundaries, shown on the 1st (1838) and latest ed. (1910) of the OS 6-inch map radiating off the monument at NNW, NE, S and WNW, have been extended to join up in the interior of the site. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD018-036 Graveyard
  Description

  In 2006, archaeological monitoring (Licence No. 06E1105: www.excavations.ie) was undertaken in the grounds of the Church of Ireland church as part of an overall conservation project. Phase 1 of this project included the insertion of rain/surface water drainage along the southern and western sides of the church, and required the excavation of trenches in the immediate area of the existing graveyard. Historical sources indicate the 18th-century church may have been constructed on an earlier graveyard, and it is recorded that skeletal remains were encountered during building construction across the road to the east of the churchyard. All ground-reduction works were monitored and no features of archaeological interest were uncovered. However, a total of 57 fragments of human bone were recovered, all from disturbed contexts, largely from the southern backfilled foundation trench of the existing church and in the western area of the churchyard. Given that some were recovered from a foundation fill, however, there is a possibility that the fill may be associated with a pre-18th-century burial-ground. However, without a detailed archaeological investigation of other areas of the site, such a possibility must be deemed as speculative at the moment.
