• KD019-028 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Some 30m N of a small, NW-flowing stream in well-drained, level pasture. Described in 1985 as horseshoe-shaped mound (diam. c. 6m N-S; H. 1m) open towards the S (SMR file). No obvious surface trace survived in 2000, but the area, although recently drained with a plastic field-pipe (Wth 0.5m; D 0.3m) just N of the site was still wet and rushy to the SE of the site. Sub-surface features may survive intact. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD019-029 Church
  Description

  Named 'Templecarragh' on Noble and Keenan's 1752 Map of County Kildare, and 'Temple Carragh' (in ruins) on Taylor's 1782 map of the county. At the N end of a short, low, N-S pasture ridge. A very poorly preserved, rectangular structure (int. dims. L 8.3m E-W; Wth 4.1m) is built of randomly coursed limestone blocks and flags. The thick walls (av. T 1m) are almost levelled (max. H 1.6m) and a rubble-filled gap (Wth 1.4m) to W of centre in the N wall may be the site of the original doorway. Windows do not survive, but gaps in the E gable wall (Wth 1.5m) and near the W end of the S wall (Wth 1.6m) mark their locations. A single, chamfered quoin is visible on the external SE angle. A grass covered, raised, rectangular area, running E from the E gable (L 7.4m E-W), defined by a scarp (H 0.8m) may be the remains of an associated structure, although it appears unlikely to have been a chancel. Fitzgerald (1905, 355) noted the occurrence of human bones at the site, suggesting a possible graveyard (KD019-029001-). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD019-029001 Graveyard
  Description

• KD019-032 Gatehouse
  Description

  It may be one of two castles (see KD019-034---- also) in the possession of Roland FitzEustace in 1486 (Tickell 1960, 368). On level pasture c. 35m W of 'Jigginstown Castle' (KD019-033001-), a very substantial 17th century building, and c. 90m NNE of 'Castle Rag' (KD019-034----), a small tower house. A now blocked-up and partially ivy-clad, plain, rubble-built arch (dims. Wth 4.55m E-W; H 3.5m) springs from a solid rectangular column (dims. L 2.1m N-S; Wth 1.3m) on the W and from a small, rectangular, three-storied, tower with a substantial base batter (H2.85m) on the E, which projects N (L 1.8m) from the face of the archway (dims. L 3.9m N-S; Wth 2.6m). The tower is entered through a narrow (Wth 0.7m) square-headed doorway at the S end of its W wall, just inside the arch. Immediately inside on the left (N), a short, narrow passageway leads N to a small embrasure (dims. L 1.15m E-W; Wth 0.9m) containing a now blocked loop, looking E. The embrasure is floored with large flags one of which at W is broken and under which a narrow (Wth 0.8m), partially rubble-filled, sub-floor passage running E and then turning to run S can be seen. A spiral stairs, lit by a double-splayed loop looking S, climbs anti-clockwise to first-floor level where a partially robbed doorway leads W to a wall-walk above the archway. The stairs rises towards a second-floor, but the steps are in an unstable condition. Externally, there is a small garderobe ope (dims. Wth 0.3m; H 0.4m) just above ground level (H 1m) near the N end of the E wall. The remains of a bawn wall runs S from the SW angle of the tower (dims. traceable L c. 6.1m; H 2.9m; T 0.8m) and contains a loop.

• KD019-033001 House - 17th century
  Description

  A National Monument (No. 528) in State care. Built in the 1630's by Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Stafford, and Lord Deputy of Ireland (1633-7) as a summer residence for himself and as an intended (but never used) residence for King Charles 1. Possibly designed by John Allen, its completion date is uncertain, but by the time of the Civil Survey (1654-6) it was already in ruins (Simington 1952, 66). The Stafford Papers of c. 1665 describe the house as having been, 'A Noble Howse built in Siggenstown by my Lords your ffather which cost £20,000. It is a Double Brick howse all in length, free stone about the Windowes and some Collumes and pavem[en]ts of Marble. The ffront thereof 120 yards and it is the largest and most magnificent front that ever I saw to w[hi]ch proportions the Gardens answere in a Square having a sweet rivulett running through it: fromerly very beautiful in Walles Groves and Trees. But now theise are not only cutt down and defaced but a great [?] of the floores in the middle p[ar]ts of the Howse are fal[l]en downe.' An extremely long (L c. 100m E-W; Wth c. 18m) mainly brick-built, tall single-storey (with possible attic accommodation) over basement structure comprises a central block originally flanked by two slightly projecting (N) wings; the W one of which has been removed. A winged staircase near the E end of the N wall provided access to the main entry, and there were two rear doors; one centrally placed and the second near the W end of the S wall. The basement is walled with mortared stone, lit by mullioned windows and roofed with brick vaulting while the main floor is walled with brick and lit by large, timber framed windows. A central spine-wall (E-W) supported pitched roofs to each side. Massive brick chimney stacks rise from stone bases in the basement, and have wide fireplaces lined with very small red bricks. An ongoing conservation programme was informed by a detailed survey of the building and some archaeological excavation (Licence nos. 01E1109 and 02E1603: www.excavations.ie). Construction debris for the house overlay the truncated remains of a ploughed field, which overlay a number of features (not excavated) probably associated with medieval pottery found in the residual ploughsoil, suggestive of earlier, medieval settlement possibly associated with a spring now located in the basement of the house. One of two large box drains carrying water from the basement (and from the roof via internal downpipes) was found to have failed. During construction, part of the drain close to the house had been exhumed and a temporary sump cut and filled, and a new drain appears to have been quarried into the north-west corner of the basement. The building was originally fully floored, roofed, and plastered internally. Finds suggest the building was roofed with slate and glazed ridge tiles. Part of the formal gardens (KD019-033003-) survive to S and traces of a large, possibly associated enclosure (KD019-030002-) were noted in 1979 (SMR file). An earthen bank set against the S-side of the building, providing a terrace overlooking the garden, had a limekiln (KD019-033004-) built into it, and a midden (KD019-033005-) was also found. (Vicars 1891-5, 19-24; Fitzgerald 1915-17, 491; Strath 1935-45, 343-7; Leask 1941, 148-9; Costello 1946, 422; Costello 1966-7, 268; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 384; Craig 1971, 50-8; Harbison 1975, 122; Bence-Jones 1978, 161; Meagher 1979-80, 118; Fenlon 2011, 207-223) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 13 December 2011 This monument is subject to preservation orders made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 78/1939 and PO no. 3/2000).

• KD019-033002 Enclosure
  Description

  The E-half (NNE-E-SSE) of a very large, possibly oval enclosure (est. diam. c. 150m N-S ) is defined by an inner, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3m; D 1.4m), a slight, outer earthen bank, and a second, narrower, outer fosse (Wth 1.5m; D 1.4m). A field wall running N-S over the visible S-limits of the fosses contains two wide, flat, relieving-arches in line with them. These features would appear to have enclosed Jigginstown House (KD019-033001-) and garden (KD019-033003-), together with Castle Rag (KD019-034----) a small tower house, and a medieval gatehouse (KD019-032----). While the fosses may have been partly defensive, they probably also served landscaping and drainage functions. Modern development works have removed some surface elements, but sub-surface features are likely to survive intact. In 1996, archaeological monitoring (Licence no. 96E132: www.excavations.ie) of the excavation of a gas-pipe trench (Wth 0.85m; D 0.95-1.3m) along the main road running E-W through the enclosed area in front of Jigginstown House revealed that the road level had been built up in relatively modern times with an infill deposit of stone and clay which produced modern pottery. The original ground surface, a light yellow clay, lay at 1.3m below existing ground level.

• KD019-033003 Designed landscape - formal garden
  Description

  The Stafford Papers of c. 1665 describe Jigginstown House (KD019-033001-) and gardens as having been, 'A Noble Howse built in Siggenstown by my Lords your ffather which cost £20,000. It is a Double Brick howse all in length, free stone about the Windowes and some Collumes and pavem[en]ts of Marble. The ffront thereof 120 yards and it is the largest and most magnificent front that ever I saw to w[hi]ch proportions the Gardens answere in a Square having a sweet rivulett running through it: fromerly very beautiful in Walles Groves and Trees. But now theise are not only cutt down and defaced but a great [?] of the floores in the middle p[ar]ts of the Howse are fal[l]en downe.' According to tradition, the gardens were formally laid out with terraces and fishponds (Bence-Jones 1978, 161). The majority of these features have apparently been levelled by modern road-making and the construction of the Grand Canal, but the remains of a sunken garden (dims. L c. 80m E-W; Wth c. 55m N-S) and gazebo survive to the S of the house. An ongoing conservation programme was informed by a detailed survey of the building and some archaeological excavation (Licence nos. 01E1109 and 02E1603: www.excavations.ie). An upcast bank was found, set against the south side of the building, providing a terrace overlooking the remains of the garden. The bank was built up late in the construction of the house and was built against scaffolding. A limekiln (KD019-033004-) was built into the bank. The terrace around the sunken garden was not completed, sloping away to the east and exposing the rough footings of the house. The bank was poorly surfaced with a narrow path. There was no indication of planting before the current standing trees (planted in the early-20th C). An associated enclosure (KD019-033002-) may have served defensive, drainage and landscaping functions.

• KD019-033004 Kiln - lime
  Description

  An ongoing conservation programme at Jigginstown House (KD019-033001-) was informed by a detailed survey of the building and some archaeological excavation (Licence nos. 01E1109 and 02E1603: www.excavations.ie). An upcast bank was found, set against the south side of the building, providing a terrace overlooking the large sunken garden (KD019-033003-). A limekiln was built into the bank and was used, perhaps, to provide the lime needed for the internal plaster.

• KD019-034 Castle - tower house
  Description

  It may be one of two castles (see KD019-032---- also) in the possession of Roland FitzEustace in 1486 (Tickell 1960, 368). Stands near the top of a short, very gentle, N-facing, pasture slope, c. 100m SSE of a gatehouse (KD019-032----) and c. 110m SSE of Jigginstown House (KD019-033001-). A really small, almost square (ext. dims. L 5.1m ENE-WSW; Wth 4.65m; int. dims. L 3.3m ENE-WSW; Wth 2.85m), two-storied structure with parapets and a slightly projecting (L 0.9m) stairs tower at the N-angle is built of rough, rubble, limestone masonry with large, well-dressed quoins (wall T. 0.9m). The walls are not battered but taper inwards slightly towards the top. Entered through a partially robbed-out doorway in the ENE wall, the ground floor is lit by a double-splayed loop in each of the four walls and roofed by a barrel-vault (E-W) bearing traces of wicker-centring, under which beam-slot holes mark the floor line of a loft, which is lit by narrow loops in the ENE and WSW walls. The very narrow spiral stairs (Wth 0.6m) is accessed through a plain, square-headed doorway in the N corner and is lit between ground and first-floor levels by a loop looking ENE and, above, by a slightly larger rectangular window looking NNW, and between first-floor and parapet level by a rectangular window looking ENE and, above, a loop looking WNW. The first floor is entered through a plain square-headed doorway in the N corner. The floor is lit by two opposing, large, partially robbed-out, square-headed windows with traces of window seats in the ENE and WSW walls, and a blocked loop is visible in the SSE wall. A robbed-out fireplace with red brick mantle-supports in the NNW wall is serviced by a chimney which projects from the outer wall face, supported on two corbels. The battlement level is inaccessible, but lower courses of crenelations and gutters survive on the projecting parapet, and the stairs tower is also crenelated.

• KD019-068 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In 2005, archaeological monitoring (Licence no. 05E0442: www.excavations.ie) of topsoil-stripping associated with the construction of the Millennium Park Western Link Road identified a fulacht fia on the edge of a natural peat basin. It was subsequently excavated (Licence no. 05E0524: www.excavations.ie). A low, probably originally U-shaped mound (dims. L 8m N-S; Wth 6.8m) was composed of burnt sandstone, charcoal and peaty clay. A shallow rectangular trough (dims. L 1.5m; Wth 1.2m; D 0.2m) at the N edge contained a stake hole in each corner, suggesting it once contained a wooden structure. Some 23 stake-holes were found immediately S of the trough, of which 13 formed the outline of an oval structure. Material from the mound yielded a radiocarbon date of 3869 6 52 BP (2480-2190 cal BC at 2 sigma), while material from the trough returned 3926 6 71 BP (2620-2190 cal BC at 2 sigma). A second fulacht fia (KD019-028----) lay c. 400m to the W. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
