Recorded monuments

• KD027-027 Church
  Description

  In a graveyard (KD027-027001-). The very poorly preserved and totally ivy-clad remains of a rectangular structure (c. 15m E-W; 6m N-S) comprising an E gable wall and short portions of the N and S sidewalls constructed of roughly coursed, mortared limestone boulders. The W-end is defined by a pronounced scarp (H 1.2m) over the exterior. There are two narrow inward-splaying lights in the E-gable wall. In 2002, archaeological test-trenching (Excavation Licence no. 02E1126) was carried out at the site of a proposed housing development immediately S and W of the church and graveyard. ‘Trench 2’ at the far south of the development revealed evidence of a possible curvilinear ditch on the surface of which a sherd of local, unglazed, medieval cooking ware was found. ‘Trench 3’ at the E of the development revealed a series of eight parallel, N-S furrows. Medieval pottery was found at the base of two of the furrows, suggesting that this may have been part of a medieval field system.

• KD027-027001 Graveyard
  Description

  On the gentle S-slope of a shallow E-W valley, through which a small stream flows W c. 60m to the N. A possible nunnery (KD027-027001-) lies c. 160m to the NNW. A very overgrown rectangular area (c. 55m E-W; c. 40m N-S) contains a ruined medieval church (O27-027----). Older, 18th and 19th-century burials are concentrated to the S of the church, while more modern burials surround it. In 2002, archaeological test-trenching (Excavation Licence no. 02E1126) was carried out at the site of a proposed housing development immediately S and W of the church and graveyard. ‘Trench 2’ at the far south of the development revealed evidence of a possible curvilinear ditch on the surface of which a sherd of local, unglazed, medieval cooking ware was found. ‘Trench 3’ at the E of the development revealed a series of eight parallel, N-S furrows. Medieval pottery was found at the base of two of the furrows, suggesting that this may have been part of a medieval field system.

• KD027-028 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  On the E-face of a low pasture ridge, skirted E-N-NW by a small W-flowing stream. The ruins of a second castle (KD027-026----) lie c. 180m to the WNW. Recorded on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map as ‘Nurney Castle on site of Castle’. In 1837, according to O’Conor’s Ordnance Survey Letter (Herity 2002, 146 (157)), ‘And to Walter Fitzgerald’s house is attached part of an old Castle, of which, the Baggots, are said to have been the original proprietors’. Nurney House appears to have been an 18th-century structure (OPW Topographical files), of which only the vaulted basement, containing a lot of red brick, survives. There is no visible surface trace of the earlier castle. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 october 2012

• KD027-029 Enclosure
  Description

  Visible, in tillage, on a 1971 aerial photograph (CUCAP BGN 17) as the cropmark of a circular area (est. diam. c. 25m), apparently defined by a fosse. Possibly a ringditch or a ringbarrow. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 October 2012
