Description
A Registered Historic Monument. Shown as a circular feature in this general area on Taylor's Map of County Kildare (1783). Prominently sited on a wooded hilltop (OD 815 feet) with excellent views in all directions. A slightly raised, almost circular central area (diams. 25m E-W; 23m N-S; H 0.6-0.8m) has a small, low mound in its SW sector (diam 4.5m; H 0.6-0.7m), probably the remains of the Trigonometrical station shown on the OS 6-inch mapping, and is girdled by a broad, shallow fosse (Wth 6m), and a low outer bank (H 0.7m; Wth 2m). Intermittent traces of a possible second, narrow, shallow, outer fosse (Wth 1m; D 0.2m) may be a later feature. Some 4m to the SW, a large, roughly squared, stone block (dims. L 1.2m; Wth 1m; H 0.9m) appears to have been deliberately set in place, while two further, overgrown blocks to the SE are of uncertain significance. The monument may be a barrow which was subsequently modified for use as an inauguration site. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

Visible on aerial photos taken in 1963 (CUCAP AIG064) and 1966 (CUCAP APA056 and API002) and indicated on Manning's interpretative tracing of same included in his Kilteel Church (KD020-007002-) excavation report (1982, 219). Visible as a broad, low, earthen bank (Wth 9-11m; H 0.2-0.3m; traceable L c. 46m NE-SW), with no obvious trace of an associated fosse. May be associated with the preceptory earthworks (KD020-007003-), or, is possibly a continuation of the Pale Boundary (KD020-008----) which runs S and then W to the S of this site.
