Recorded monuments

• DU021-072 Church
  Description

  The OS Letters mention the former existence of a church at Kiltaltown (Herity 2001, 38). The foundations were removed in the early 19th century during building operations (Handcock 1991, 66, 3rd ed. ). There are no surface remains.

• DU021-081 Linear earthwork
  Description

  This linear earthwork runs along the S boundary of Kiltalown House. It survives in varying state of preservation and is similar in form to sections of the Pale Ditch identified elsewhere in South County Dublin. At it's W extremity, opposite the turn off for Blessington, the bank has been disturbed and spread (Wth 12.75m, H 0.7m). It extends in an easterly direction (L 180m). Both upper edges of the embankment have been planted with mature trees. It narrows as it runs to the E (Wth 10m) which is the best, preserved section before taking a wide curve to the NNE. At this point it is flat-topped (Wth 7m, H 1.8m). A stream runs along the E side of the bank and an external ditch along the W side (Wth 2.5m, D 0.6m). The bank terminates c. 50m to the SSE of the House. Preliminary excavations in 1998 uncovered a posthole on the top of the bank which suggests evidence for a timber palisade (O'Keefe 2000, 94-95). According to Ball and Hamilton (1895, 8) the Pale ditch ran from Tallaght on to Naas in County Kildare.

• DU021-090 Standing stone
  Description

  Situated in a field due S of Kiltalown House. This standing stone (Wth 0.48m; H 1.05m) is a squat, irregularly shaped block of granite with some quartz banding. It has been set up on its broad end, narrowing towards the top and is orientated roughly N-S towards Tallaght Hill. In October 1996 the stone was knocked over. It became apparent that it had been sitting on its flat base with no evidence for a socket (Swan 1998, 57).
