Recorded monuments

• KD010-021 Linear earthwork
  Description

  The monument is included on the Register of Historic Monuments. The area which would later be called 'The English Pale', from the Latin 'palus', a stake, and also possibly from the name of an earthen fortification at Calais in France (Lydon 1972, 261), originated in the 14th century when Norman settlers began fortifying their lands in counties Dublin, Kildare, Louth and Meath against attack by the native Irish. By 1435, ongoing attacks, probably primarily aimed at cattle theft (O'Riordáin 1971, 15), prompted the concept of an additional, linear defensive feature, the boundaries of which were defined in a 1488 Act of Parliament as extending, 'from Merrion inclusive to the waters of the Dodder, by the new ditch to Saggard, Rathcoole, Kilheel (Kilteel), Rathmore and Ballymore (Eustace), thence to the county of Kildare into Ballycutlan (Coghlanstown), Harristown and Naas, and so thence to Clane, Kilboyne, and Kilcock' (Mc Neill 1950, 250). In 1494, Parliament directed that, 'every inhabitant, earth tiller and occupier in said marches (borderlands), do build and make a double ditch six feet high above ground at one side or part which meareth next unto Irishmen between this and next Lammas (August 1st.), the said ditches to be kept up and repaired as long as they shall occupy said land.' However, Ellis (Ellis S. G. 'The emergence of the English Pale in Ireland' in Irish Historical Studies) points to a statute in Poyning's parliament in 1495 for 'ditches to be made aboute the Inglishe pale' as the first application of the term to Ireland. The Pale contracted eastwards in subsequent years and it is not certain if its original extent was ever completely ditched. By the seventeenth century, The Pale had ceased to have any real political or defensive significance. Only a few short sections have been positively identified in Co Kildare; in Kilteel Upper/Cupidstown near Rathmore (KD020-008-----), in Bishopsland just SW of Ballymore Eustace (KD029-039----), at Castlebrown or Clongowes (KD010-021----/KD014-008----) and finally, the best preserved, semi-continuous portion which runs for c. 3365m through the townlands of Ballybrack, Ballyloughan, Clonduff, Clonfert South and Graiguepottle, c. 5km N of Clongowes (KD010-001----). Two well-preserved, although overgrown portions survive, one to the north and a second to the south of Clongoweswood College (KD014-045----). The northern portion (KD010-21----/KD014-8001-) is a low, broad earthen bank (traceable L 550m; Wth 3-4m; H 0.75m) with a footpath on top and with ditches on either side (D 1-1.5m, but recut). The southern portion (KD014-008002-) has a broadly similar morphology and dimensions. In 1993, an archaeological watching brief (Licence No. 93E0057: www.excavations.ie) was maintained on the construction of a sewage pipeline which was run through an existing, modern breach in the boundary and a profile was also recorded 4m to the N of the breach at an area of least vegetal overgrowth. Natural ground level at this point rises from W to E. The Pale boundary here had a total width of 8.5m. The larger and deeper W fosse (recut as a modern drain) was 2m wide and tapered to a V-shaped profile. It was 1.18m deep, below ground level to the W. The flat-topped earthen bank was almost 2m wide and rose 2.2m above the bottom of the W fosse and 1.5m above ground level to the W. The E fosse was c. 2.5m wide with a rounded profile. It was 1.5m deep below the top of the bank and less than 1m below ground level to the E. No small finds were recovered. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

  Description

Subsequent aerial photographs (GSI N469, 470) show the cropmark of the original enclosing element, which is not visible at ground level. On a low E-W pasture ridge.

• KD014-008002 Linear earthwork
  Description

  The area which would later be called 'The English Pale' (from the Latin 'palus'- a stake, and also the name of an earthen fortification at Calais in France) originated in the early 14thC when Norman settlers began withdrawing to lands in counties Dublin, Kildare, Louth and Meath and fortifying these areas against attack by the native Irish. By 1435, ongoing attacks, primarily aimed at cattle theft, prompted the concept of an additional, linear defensive feature, the boundaries of which were defined in a 1488 Act of Parliament as extending, 'from Merrion inclusive to the waters of the Dodder, by the new ditch to Saggard, Rathcoole, Kilheel (Kilteel), Rathmore and Ballymore (Eustace), thence to the county of Kildare into Ballycutlan (Coghlanstown), Harristown and Naas, and so thence to Clane, Kilboyne, and Kilcock'.

Only a few, short sections have been positively identified in Co Kildare; in Kilteel Upper/Cupidstown near Rathmore (KD020-008001-/KD020-008002-) where archaeological excavation revealed a palisade trench along the top of the bank (O'Donnell 1987, 110), in Bishopsland just SW of Ballymore Eustace (KD029-039----), at Castlebrown or Clongowes (KD010-021----/KD014-008001- and KD014-008002-) and finally, the best preserved, semi-continuous portion which runs for c. 3365m through the townlands of Ballybrack, Ballyloughan, Clonduff, Clonfert South and Graiguepottle, c. 5km N of Clongowes (KD010-001----).

The southern portion (KD014-008002-) has a similar morphology but slightly greater dimensions (traceable L c. 900m; av. Wth 5m; int H 0.6m; ext H 3m) and appears to terminate at its S end at the small, NW-flowing Gollymochy River. However, a slightly smaller, raised bank (dims. Wth 1.5-3m; H 0.2-0.6m) carries on from this point, curving SE, following the river bank (traceable L c. 200m), and may be part of the earthwork? In 1993, an archaeological watching brief (Licence No. 93E0057: www.excavations.ie) was maintained on the construction of a sewage pipeline which was run through an existing, modern breach in the boundary and a profile was also recorded 4m to the N of the breach at an area of least vegetal overgrowth.

On level pasture at the foot of the long, gentle, E-facing slope of a N-S ridge. The monument survives as a small, poorly preserved, D-shaped area (int. diam. 25m E-W) with a straight W side (int. L 20m) defined by a low scarp (max. H 0.8m) NW-SSW. A small S-flowing stream has been recut as a field drain and truncates the monument SSW-NW.

• KD014-045 House - fortified house
  Description

  According to Tickell (1960, 396, 398), in 1447 Anne Eustace received Clongowes Wood Castle, which was subsequently blown up in 1641. Its precise location was not confirmed until 2002 when Clongoweswood College secondary school was the subject of an archaeological assessment and excavations (Licence Nos. 02E1118, 03E0457, 03E1093: www.excavations.ie) which revealed evidence of the presence of a 17th century fortified House, and the suggestion was made that the building might also contain fabric from an earlier tower house (KD014-045001-). The front façade of the school building, together with an external, defensive fosse were identified as dating from the late-16th/17th century when the fortified house consisted of a T-shaped building with flanking towers at either end of the main façade. Subsequent building work added impressive neo-classical, 18th century interiors and a Gothic Revival extension to the rear. Internal wall thicknesses suggested that the structure might also incorporate part of the older, 15th century tower house, which belonged to Anne Eustace.

• KD014-052 Earthwork
  Description

  Named 'Butter Hill' according to Devitt (1899-1902, 288-9) who parses 'Cappapolis' (the name of the laneway immediately to the E as depicted on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map) as '"Cappagh" = a plot of land and "polis" = "palas" or "pailis", signifying a fairy lis or rath … ' (which, he says, may have stood on Butter Hill). On a golf course in open, level, mixed tillage and pasture. It is a short, low but steep-sided, gravel ridge (dims. L c. 100m N-S; Wth c. 50m; max H c. 7m along the N and NE). Its upper surface (dims. L 23m NNE-SSW; Wth 8m) is now a golf-tee; levelled-off, planted as a lawn, and approached via a gravelled pathway from the N.
