- KD022-016: Castle - motte, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-016----. At the base of a slope in tillage, with a slight ridge to the NE. A ruined tower house (KD022-017----) stands c. 150m to the E, with a church (KD022-018----) and graveyard (KD022-018001-) just beyond to the ENE. An overgrown, circular, steep-sided, earthen mound (H. 4m; est. base diam. c. 35m ) with a concave summit (diam. 16m), is girdled by a shallow fosse (Wth. 2m) with traces of an outer bank. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 06 December 2011
- KD022-017: Castle - hall-house, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-017----. On level pasture, with a motte (KD022-016----) visible c. 150m to the W, and a church (KD022-018----) and graveyard (KD022-018001-) c. 35m to ENE, and (by association) the possible location of an early castle. The site consists of the very poorly preserved, L-shaped remains of a featureless, one-storied S-corner formed by SE and SW walls (int.dims. L 2.4m NE-SW; Wth 1.3m NW-SE; wall T 1.9m; ext.H 3.5m) built of thin, coursed flags with a very gentle base-batter. Traces of a N corner, 13.5m to NE, and slightly off-line to W, of the S corner, survive as a low, L-shaped mass of mortared masonry without facing-stones (int. dims. L 3.4m NW-SE; Wth 2.1m NE-SW; wall T max.3m; H 0.6-0.9m). Immediately to its S an inaccessible, short, narrow, rectangular, stone-built, subterranean passageway (int. dims. L 1.5m E-W; Wth 1.1m N-S) with a wicker-centered, pointed-arched vaulted roof appears to be a later feature. It is misidentified 'Souterrain' on the current edition (1939) of the OS 6-inch map. Traces of a fosse enclosing a possible bawn (KD022-017001-) to N noted in 1986 (SMR File) are no longer visible at ground level but a low scarp (H 0.8m) may mark its line. The site may have been a late 13th/14th century hall-keep and bawn? Compiled by: Geaóid Conroy Date of upload: 06 december 2011
- KD022-017001: Bawn, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-017001-. On level pasture. Traces of a fosse possibly enclosing a bawn to the N of a possible hall house (KD022-017001-) noted in 1986 (SMR File) are no longer visible at ground level, but a low scarp (H 0.8m) may mark its line.

- KD022-018: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-018----. In a graveyard (KD022-018001-). Shown on Taylor's 1783 Map of County Kildare as being in ruins. The present church is modern, replacing an older, medieval church of which there is no visible surface trace. It may have stood on the slightly higher ground to the S of the church. An architectural fragment reused as a burial marker may have come from the older church; a round window head (Wth 0.5m; H 0.35m; T 0.18m); while a window transom (L 0.65m; Wth 0.2m; H 0.2m) may be from the nearby Lackagh Castle (KD022-017----), c. 35m to the WSW. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 6 December 2011
- KD022-018001: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-018001-. On level pasture c. 35m ENE of Lackagh Castle (KD022-017----), and c. 200m E of a motte (KD022-016----). Contains a modern church on the site of a possible older, medieval church (KD022-018----) A roughly rectangular area (L c. 80m; Wth c. 60m) is enclosed by a stone wall. While the legible grave markers are modern, an architectural fragment reused as a burial marker may have come from the older church; a round window head (Wth 0.5m; H 0.35m; T 0.18m); and a window transom (L 0.65m; Wth 0.2m; H 0.2m) also reused as a grave marker may be from Lackagh Castle.

- KD022-038: Crannog, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-038----. In 1893, oak beams with mortices and other joinery features were discovered in a low, irregular mound on the edge of a bog. Archaeological excavations by Vigours (JKAS 1895, 399-402) uncovered ox and deer bone, some worked bone and antler implements, and half of one stone of rotary quern was found on a 'floor' beneath the beams.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
