Recorded monuments

• KD001-001 Enclosure
  Description

  On a level floodplain along the E bank of the River Boyne. Visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP AOZ (1966); AYR 44 (1969)) as a large, rectangular area (est. max. dims. L c. 250m NW-SE; Wth c. 150m) defined, and subdivided internally, by fairly substantial earthen banks. Bulldozed in the 1970's and no surface trace was visible in 1985 (SMR file). A possible moated site (KD001-003----) lay c. 300m to the SSW, but the site is more likely to have been associated with Rathmurry House c. 400m to the SSW. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD001-003 Moated site
  Description

  In pastureland on a level floodplain c. 30m E of the river Boyne. Described in 1955 as a subrectangular platform with traces of a bank, and visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP AOZ 29 (1966); AYR 44 (1969)) as a rectangular area (int. dims. L c. 30m NW-SE; Wth c. 20m) defined by a low bank and outer fosse, with an entrance at E. In 1985 it was no longer visible at ground level (SMR file). It was probably a moated site. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD001-013 Metalworking site
  Description

  In 2004, archaeological excavation (Licence no. 04E1181) of a burrow-pit associated with the construction of the M4 Kinnegad-Kilcock motorway uncovered a spread associated with metalworking, the truncated remains of a bowl furnace and portion of a possible smithing hearth.

• KD002-001 Moated site
  Description

  On a slight pasture rise drained to the S by a small, SW-flowing tributary of the River Boyne which flows N c. 90m to the W of the monument. A rectangular area (int. dims. L 40.7m N-S; Wth 26.5m E-W) with rounded corners, is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.2m) SE-SW, and elsewhere by a lower scarp, with a shallow outer fosse (Wth 5m) W-NE. Visible on a recent aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto 2005). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD003-001001 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  In open, gently undulating pastureland. Named 'Site of Kilrathmurry Graveyard' and indicated as a rectangular area (est. dims. L c. 35m N-S; Wth c. 30m) on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map. Described in 1955 as a ringfort with two banks and an intervening fosse (SMR file). No visible surface trace of a ringfort survives, but the site may have been reused as a graveyard (KD003-001002-) and contains a possible house site (KD003-001003-). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD003-001002 Graveyard
  Description

  On the site of a possible ringfort (KD003-001----). Named 'Site of Kilrathmurry Graveyard' and indicated as a rectangular area (est. dims. L c. 35m N-S; Wth c. 30m) on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map. A square area (ext. dims. 18.3m E-W; 17.5m N-S) is defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 1m; H 0.1m). The interior contains a possible house site (KD003-001003-), and a shallow circular depression (diam 4m) at N. There are no visible grave markers.

• KD003-001003 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  At the centre of a disused graveyard (KD003-001002-) on the site of a possible ringfort (KD003-001001-). A low, grassed-over earthen bank (max. L 6m E-W; H 0.1m), may be the remains of a house site associated with the possible ringfort phase of the monument. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD003-032 Metalworking site
  Description

  In 2002, archaeological monitoring (Licence No. 02E0433) of topsoil-stripping took place in advance of gravel-extraction works. The site is north-west of Ballykane Hill, on the summit of which a previously unrecorded ring-barrow (KD003-026----) was also discovered and archaeologically excavated. Three features of archaeological potential were identified and subsequently excavated (Licence No. 02E0513: www.excavations.ie). Feature 1 was a subcircular hearth, measuring 0.28m north-south by 0.3m by 0.11m deep, which had been burnt in situ. The feature had gentle to more steeply sloped sides in the south and east, leading to a concave base, which sloped southward. It contained a dark brown, charcoal-enriched, silty clay fill, which was mottled with lenses of burnt orange clay and contained very few iron slag inclusions. Evidence of oxidised subsoil was present along the upper, southern edge of the feature. Feature 2 was subcircular, measuring 0.48m north-south by 0.5m by 0.19m deep, and had an irregularly shaped base, with two distinct depressions in the east and west edges. Oxidisation of the subsoil had occurred throughout the base and sides, suggesting in situ burning. The upper fill comprised a mid-brown silty clay, which was charcoal enriched and contained pockets of orange burnt clay subsoil. This fill contained abundant iron slag and bloom inclusions. Beneath this was a black, smooth, charcoal-enriched, silty clay with frequent charcoal pieces and iron slag inclusions. Feature 3 was a subcircular cut measuring 0.5m north-south by 0.38m by 0.14m deep. The sides were steeply sloped, and the base was undulating, with a slight slope eastward to its deepest point. Evidence of in situ burning was present as oxidised subsoil along the north-west and south-east sides. The feature contained an upper fill of dark brown, charcoal-enriched, silty clay and an underlying fill of smooth black, charcoal-enriched, silty clay. Both fills contained iron slag fragments. The high quantities of iron slag found in these features, relative to their size, suggests that they may represent smithing hearths and are unlikely to be isolated pits.
