## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- KD024-025: Enclosure - large enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD024-025----. Shown on both Noble and Keenan's (1752) and Taylor’s (1783) maps of County Kildare as a large oval enclosure, only approximately half of which survives from S-W-N as a C-shaped feature (int. diam. c. 230m N-S), as depicted on the latest ed. (1910) of the OS 6-inch map. Lies at the N end of an extensively quarried N-S ridge, with a motte and bailey (KD024-026----) at the other end of the ridge c. 700m to the SSW. The surviving remains comprise an inner earthen bank (int H 0.2-1.5m; Wth 4.9-6.4m; ext. H 0.4-3.8m), a fosse (Wth 2.6-3.4m), and a second, outer bank (int. H 0.6-1.6m; Wth 3.9-8.2m; ext. H 0.4-3.8m). The area enclosed slopes down, steeply in places, from the surviving portion of inner bank, giving an amphitheatre-like effect: the internal slope may, however, be the result of quarrying. Aerial photographs (GSI N333-5) show the faint cropmarks of two widely spaced, concentric circular features (est. max. diam. c. 100m), towards the S end of the site. The monument is comparable to one in Grangebeg townland (KD027-005----) which, although smaller, has a similar enclosing element. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 14 June 2012 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 10/1972).

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
