- KD023-008 Church
Description
In the E sector of a graveyard (KD023-008001-). No visible surface trace survived in 1986 (SMR file). Appears to have been in ruins by 1783, according to Taylor's map of County Kildare. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 23 May 2012
- KD023-008001 Graveyard
Description
In open, level tillage. A sub-rectangular area (L c. 70m ENE-WSW; Wth c. 40m) is enclosed by an ivy covered, roughly coursed stone wall which curves gently at its ENE end where steps provide access. The overgrown interior is very uneven underfoot and the legible grave markers date from the early 18th and 19th centuries. A now levelled church (KD023-008----) stood in the E sector.

- KD023-009 Castle - motte and bailey
Description
On the E side of a shallow, marshy valley through which a small stream flows N c. 70m to the W of the monument and forms the baronial boundary between the Barony of Connell to the E and the Barony of Offaly East to the W. A tall, steep-sided, uneven-topped, circular earthen mound is enclosed by a fosse at the base (H above fosse at N 9m; diam. of summit 10m). An earthen causeway at SSE links to an approximately triangular bailey (L. 80m; W at causeway 40m; H. at E 5m, H. above valley at S and W 8.5m) which appears to have been quarried in places. There is a low earthen bank on the bailey at E. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 23 May 2012

Description
Situated on high ground, in tillage field 45m S of church (KD023-008----) and graveyard (KD023-008001-).

- KD023-129 Prehistoric site - lithic scatter
Description
Situated on high ground, in tillage field immediately W and S of church (KD023-008----) and graveyard (KD023-008001-). Inspection of the field by David Brennan over several seasons has retrieved hundreds of flint and chert artefacts lying on the surface of the plough soil. All the lithic artefacts are now with the National Museum of Ireland. In 2009, a Neolithic stone axe (possibly Dolerite) was also found on the surface of the plough soil, approximately 60 metres downslope of the western edge of the newly discovered sub-circular shaped enclosure (KD023-128----). The late Professor Peter Woodman visited the site and recorded the scatter as a probable Early Mesolithic site (Woodman 2015, ). However, examination of the complete lithic assemblage indicates that there was activity present at this site from the Mesolithic right through to later prehistoric periods. See attached plan showing location of lithic scatter Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details kindly provided by David Brennan Date of upload: 04 December 2018
