Recorded monuments

• KK019-101 House - 16th/17th century
  Description

  In Kilkenny City, in the grounds of the former St Joseph's Industrial School between Waterford Road and Nuncio Road c. 500m S of the medieval city walls. Walsh (1955, 14) mentions that, 'In an inquisition held in the new Tholsel in April, 1628, a certain Jac Martin was in possession of a plot of land near the cemetery of St. Patrick's which he held from the Dean of St. Canice's, then residing at 'his manor of Donoghmore, then known as the Castle of Donoghmore. His residence is described in documents of the 17th century as the Dean's Castle of Donoghmore. The area was also known as Dean's ground and Deansby. The castle stood within the grounds of St. Joseph's'. The precise location of this house/castle is unknown but it is likely to have been on or in the vicinity of the house named, 'Deansby Cottage' on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map.
