• KD011-004001 Historic town
  Description

  Located at the confluence of the E-flowing River Liffey and its tributary, the S-flowing Rye Water. According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 304-305), the existence of a Scandinavian placename 'Lex-hlaup' / 'salmon leap', suggests a Viking settlement. In the late-12th/early-13th century, Leixlip was also known by the name 'Ernia' or 'Hernie', possibly derived from An Urnaidhe, meaning oratory, which may also indicate the presence of a pre-Norman ecclesiastical site. The earliest definite evidence for settlement occurs in the late-12th century when Adam De Hereford established a castle and borough and granted the church and burgage to St Thomas' Abbey. Subsequently another burgage was given to St. Mary's Abbey in Dublin. The borough was looted and burnt by Edward Bruce's army in 1317, but otherwise seems to have remained relatively undisturbed. A population of 100 was recorded in the census of 1659. The town was confined to a narrow strip of land between the Liffey on the S, a high ridge on the N, and the Rye Water on the W, with the main street running roughly E-W along the centre of this strip of ground. A burgage plot pattern survives on the N and S of Main Street. The settlement included an early castle (KD011-004002-), a church (KD011-004003-) and graveyard (KD011-004004-), and a tower house (KD011-004005-), while archaeological excavation has uncovered medieval deposits to the N of Main Street (KD011-004007-).

• KD011-004003 Church
  Description

  In a graveyard (KD011-004006-) just N of the confluence of the Rye Water with the River Liffey. According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 312-18), the church of St. Mary of Hernie was granted by Adam de Hereford to the Abbey of St. Thomas in Dublin before 1212. In the ecclesiastical taxation of 1302-6, a moiety of the church of Leixlip was valued at 100s. The church was looted by Bruce's army in 1317. In 1463, the full tithes of the church of Blessed Mary of Leixlip were restored to St Thomas' Abbey, and remained in its possession until the Dissolution, after which the tithes were held by Nicholas Stanynghurst. The rectory was leased to Richard Manwaringe in 1567, surrendered by his widow in 1584, and subsequently leased to James Ryan. The visitation of Archbishop Buckley in 1630 noted that the church and chancel at Leixlip were ruinous. According to parish records, a major restoration commenced in 1675. A 13th century, rectangular, nave (int. dims. L 16.65m; Wth 7.95m; wall T 1.13m) and chancel (int. dims. L 9m; Wth 6.18m; wall T 0.83m) structure with a plain chancel arch (Wth 6.17m) is built of roughly coursed limestone blocks, and has a 15th century, four-storied, rectangular tower (int dims. L 3.5m; Wth 3m; wall T 1.25m), built of regularly coursed undressed limestone blocks, attached at W. A modern porch has been added at N. The remains have been substantially rebuilt; walls raised in height and fragments of earlier windows and doors incorporated in the walls. The steep pitch of an earlier roof line is visible in the E wall of the tower and in the E gable of the nave. The nave is entered through a modern doorway (Wth 0.93m) at the E end of the N wall, and an earlier, blocked, pointed doorway, with chamfered sandstone jambs, is visible mid-way along the wall. A splayed, flat-arched doorway (ext. Wth 1.57m; int Wth 1.71m) in the W gable gives access through the tower, and a blocked, splayed slit above opened into the tower. The nave is lit by two modern, pointed windows in the N wall, which also contains a blocked rectangular window, and by three round-arched and one pointed-arched window in the S wall, which also contains the jambs of a large, blocked window near the W end, and a blocked slit window near the E end. The chancel is lit by a modern, round, twin-light window in the E gable wall and by a modern, round-arched window in the S wall, which also contains a blocked, single-light, ogee-headed window, a carved head (KD011-004012-) and a 17th century graveslab (KD01-004010-). There is a blocked, modern, round-arched window in the N wall, which also contains a small, blocked, pointed-arched window. There is a 17th century graveslab (KD011-004009-) in the chancel floor, and the N wall of the chancel arch contains a 17th century armorial plaque (KD011-004008-). The later tower is built against the W gable of the nave and has a projecting stair turret at the NW angle which is lit at each level by rectangular, double-splayed loops. There is a round-arched doorway (Wth 1.4m) in the W wall, with a doorway opposite into the nave. The ground and first floors are both barrel-vaulted and the ground floor has blocked double-splayed slits in the N and S walls. First-floor level (dims. L 3.34m N-S; Wth 3.2m) is accessed through a doorway with a re-used medieval graveslab (KD011-004006-) as a lintel, and is lit by a single-light, cusped ogee-headed window in the S wall and by a similar window in the W wall. The E wall contains a blocked slit which looked into the church, and there is a double-splayed slit in the S wall. There is a blocked-up fireplace with an overhanging chimney supported on a corbel in the N wall. Second-floor level (dims. L 3.46m N-S; Wth 3.09m; wall T 1.06m) is lit by single-light, ogee-headed windows in the S and W walls, and there is a partially blocked, pointed-arched opening in the E wall which looked into the roof-space of the nave. There is a fireplace canopy in the NE corner. A modern ceiling is supported on original corbel stones. Third-floor level (dims. L 3.6m N-S; Wth 3.08m) has a blocked rectangular window in the S and W walls, and a round-arched window has been inserted into the E wall. The modern roof is supported on brickwork and the wall-walk outside has a drainage course below the parapet (wall T 0.4m). The tower contains a font (KD011-004011-) on the ground floor, and there is a second carved head (KD011-004013-) at the W end of the stair-turret's N wall, and a third carved head (KD011-004014-) at the E end of the tower's N wall.

• KD011-004004 Graveyard
  Description

  Just N of the confluence of the Rye Water with the River Liffey and containing a medieval church (KD011-004003-). A roughly square area (dims. L c. 60m; Wth c. 60m) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall. According to Colgan and Pegley's web article ('St. Mary's Graveyard, Main St, Leixlip.', accessed 12 April 2011 at www.kildare.ie/leixliphistory), the graveyard within the curtilage of St. Mary's Church (of Ireland, Episcopalian) served the wider Leixlip community, without reference to religious denomination, for many centuries. The graveyard is now virtually full and contemporary Leixlip burials - apart from cremations - are usually to the modern cemetery at Confey. The parish records of burials to St Mary's extend from 1668 to today. Unfortunately, substantial gaps exist in the years for which records are available; for example, during the period, 1668 to 1777, there are no entries in 44 of the years. There are smaller gaps in the data for the 19th century records. A list of graveyard inscriptions is also provided. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD011-004005 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Located at the E-end of the town. According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 307-8), the earliest evidence for this building is in 1562 when it was granted to William Vernon. In 1570 it was granted to Nicholas White, and in 1654, the Civil Survey notes that 'Black Castle' was on the lands of the earl of Kildare. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was described as, 'a residence so modernised as to be indistinguishable except to one well acquainted with the locality'. The present structure is inhabited. It is a tall, narrow, four-storied, rectangular building (int. dims. L 7.5m E-W; Wth 6.5m N-S; wall T c. 0.65m), with a possible cellar, said by the present owner to be closed-up. There is a modern, single-storied extension to the S. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD011-007 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  At the N foot of a short, moderately steep slope on the W bank of the Royal Canal. According to Jackson (1979-80, 160) the well is not associated with any specific saint but is believed locally to be near the site of a monastery. It is associated with a cure for sore eyes and is traditionally visited during August when rags are sometimes left on the bushes and briars beside it. A large, square, water-filled pool (L 9m; Wth 9m) is open towards the NW and NE but is enclosed by well-built, mortared stone walling on the SE and SW. No trace of an associated rag-tree/bush.
