Recorded monuments

• KD024-014 Enclosure
  Description

  Shown as a circular feature on Taylor's Map of County Kildare (1783). Aerial photographs (GSI N 376, 377) show the cropmarks of two widely spaced concentric fosses (est. int. diam. c. 40m; est. ext. diam. c. 80m). Possibly a ringfort, although multiple ringbarrows also occur in this part of Co. Kildare (eg. KD024-006---- and KD024-010----). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 12 June 2012

• KD024-022 Burial ground
  Description

  On a W-facing pasture slope. An oval area (50m NNW – SSE; 25m NNE - SSW) defined by a vegetation band (Wth 2m) ESE-S-W-NNE, with faint traces of an earthen bank elsewhere. The interior appears to have been dug out, with two distinct hollows occupying most of the area enclosed. No grave markers are visible. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 14 June 2012

• KD024-023 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a NW-facing pasture slope just off the crest of a long, NE-SW ridge. A small circular slightly raised earthen area (diam. 25m), with a convex surface profile, is defined by a scarp (H 1m at NE; max H 1.5m at SW). No visible trace of a fosse or entrance. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 14 June 2012

• KD024-033 Enclosure
  Description

  Visible on an aerial photograph (GSI N336, 337 (335)) as the cropmark of a small sub-rectangular enclosure (est. dims. L c. 20m ; Wth c. 10m). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 04 July 2012

• KD024-054 Enclosure
  Description

  Visible on an aerial photograph (GSI N 337-6) as the cropmark of a small rectangular enclosure (est. c. 25m E-W; c. 15m N-S). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 12 July 2012

• KD024-066 Font (present location)
  Description

  A square-shaped granite baptismal font (dims. 0.53m x 0.55m x T 0.06m; H 0.19m) with a circular basin (top diam. 0.4m; base diam. 0.32m; D 0.14m) and central drain-hole (0.04m) with roll moulding (H 0.05m; diam. 0.42m; T 0.02m) running around base of font which sat on top of a circular column (diam. 0.38m) now lost. Removed from Herbertstown Church (KD023-018----) some time before 1990 by local parishioners and placed in the graveyard of St. Peter’s R. C. Church, Two-Mile-House (Gibson 1990, 60). Cross-referenced with KD023-018002-. A second possibly earlier font (KD024-067----) also taken from Herbertstown Church lies a few metres to the E. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by William Gibson Date of upload: 08 April 2019

• KD024-067 Font (present location)
  Description

  A large bowl shaped stone (ext. diam. 0.64m; rim T 0.1m; H 0.36m) with circular basin (top diam. 0.44m; base diam. 0.17m; D 0.21m) and no drainage hole may represent the remains of an early medieval font. It is too large to represent the remains of a medieval water stoup and not the right shape for a bullaun stone. It is possible that this plain unperforated bowl shaped stone was used as a medieval mortar rather than as a baptismal font and may have belonged to the adjoining Herbertstown Castle or was used for domestic purposes of the residential priest at Herbertstown Church. Such a function has been suggested for several large undecorated bowls which lacked a central drainage hole (Roe 1968, 12). The stone was removed from Herbertstown Church (KD023-018----) some time before 1990 by local parishioners and placed in the graveyard of St. Peter’s R. C. Church, Two-Mile-House (Gibson 1990, 60). Cross-referenced with KD023-018004-. A later medieval square-shaped font (KD024-066----) also taken from Herbertstown Church lies a few metres to the W.
