• OF036-044001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Not visible at ground level. 19th-century house known as 'Castle Bernard' built near the castle which was erected in Kinnitty in the year 1213 by the Anglo-Normans (Cooke 1875, 21). Castle probably built on top of nearby motte (OF036-044003-) to S of Castle Bernard. In 1997 archaeological test trenching was carried out by Jim Higgins under licence no. 97E0105. Two cuttings were excavated, one at the site of the proposed sewage treatment facility for the house and a second cutting in the shore or moat around the castellated house where a new doorway was being inserted to replace an existing window. No archaeological features were uncovered. A hole was dug in the SE corner of the courtyard at the rear of the 19th century house known as Castle Bernard in 1982. The hole (top Wth. 0.55m; base Wth. 0.9m) revealed traces of a human burial which may have belonged to a burial ground although no evidence for other burials was revealed in the sections of the excavated hole. Inside this hole there was evidence for an earlier wall at a depth of 0.58m of a possible building underneath the 19th century courtyard wall. (ASI file 1982). This site is located within the grounds of Kinnitty Castle, Kinnitty, Co. Offaly. The Pain brothers built Castle Bernard in a Tudor/Gothic revival style in 1833. It has a three-storeyed facade, an impressive entrance front with gables and oriels and a corner castellated tower; it was built of blue-grey limestone. The gardens were exquisitely landscaped. The Annals of Clonmacnoise document the completion of a 'Castle' at Kinnitty in 1214. The castle was built as part of a sub-infeudation undertaken by Theobald Walter, who was granted Munster in AD 1185. The archaeological assessment was carried out under licence no. 03E1964 on 15 and 16 January 2004 as a result of a 'further information request' by Offaly County Council in relation to the proposed development at Kinnitty Castle. At the location of the proposed new bedroom wing the remains of a wall, a cobbled surface and a linear cut feature were identified in Trench 1. These features are associated with activity surrounding the 19th-century Kinnitty Castle. At the location of the proposed conference centre, Trenches 2 and 3, a linear ditch feature was identified. There were no datable finds associated with this feature and, as it is within the 19th-century 'walled garden' in the grounds of Kinnitty Castle, it is likely that this feature is associated with a period of landscaping. No other features of archaeological significance were identified during this assessment.

• OF036-044002 Church
  Description

  Only three ogee headed windows survive of a late medieval church which may have come from the nearby village of Kinnitty. These windows were inserted into the demesne wall probably in the 19th-century when the demesne house was built. Two of these windows are twin light windows with ogee heads and the other light consists of a single ogee light with hood moulding. The original head of one of the twin lights is lying on the ground against the demesne wall. Each window has several pieces belonging to different dates ranging from the late medieval to the 18th-century. This probably happened when they were inserting the windows into the wall. There is no structural evidence of any church building in the courtyard area and no church site is marked on the OS 6-inch maps. In the front of the 19th-century house is a 10th-century High Cross decorated with biblical scenes, geometric and interlaced patterns (Harbison 1972, 201). The windows of the church along with the High Cross were probably removed from the grounds of Kinnitty church (OF036-040001-) to their present location in the 19th-century.

• OF036-044003 Castle - motte
  Description

  Located on high ground overlooking nearby river to the E. This high steep sided mound was impossible to examine due to dense overgrowth at time of visit. However it appears to have been landscaped in the 19th-century and a cottage was built into N side of the mound. It is impossible to identify this mound as a Norman fortification due to the landscaping and forestry activity on the mound. However its location and form would be typical for a motte. Locally known as the 'Moat' along with its position on the OS 6-inch map where it is depicted as 'Moat' would support classification of site as a motte. A stone statue of a horseman was found on the 'Moat' or on an old 'rath' near Castle Bernard in the 19th (Hitchcock 1908, 26-8) and was acquired by the National Museum of Ireland in 1947 (Reg. No. 1947:1054; file No. IA/93/1947). The statue of the horseman was mistakenly reported as being discovered inside a ‘Rath’ (OF036-062001-) located on this hilltop as stated in Cooke’s, History of Birr which was published in 1875. In this book, T. L. Cooke stated that a figure of horseman carved in stone was found, ‘in the year 1844, in a large earthen rath or ring on Knock-na-man, that is, the “hill of God”, or “hill of the sun”, or “hill of the altar” (Cooke 1875, 154). However there is a conflict over the provenance of the finding of the stone horseman on this possible hilltop enclosure which contradicts the provenance of this find listed in Catalogue of the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1853. The stone horseman was displayed in 1853 at the Great Industrial Exhibition in Dublin where its provenance was described in the catalogue of exhibits as an ‘Image, supposed to be of Eochaidh, the tutelary semi-god, whom the Pagan Irish believed to preside over cattle and horses. It was found in a moate or barrow, within the demesne, and close to the mansion, of Castle Bernard, King's County’(Anon 1853, 146). In 1908, Hitchcock confirms the details written in the 1853 catalogue when he wrote that, ‘a small equestrian statue which was unearthed from an ancient rath on the Castle Bernard estate known as "the Moate" (OF046-044003-). Hitchcock recorded that this horseman may have been located on or near the site of an ‘Irish mote, which is not a deep trench but a high rath, one at Castle Bernard’ (Hitchcock 1908, 46). There is a large Anglo-Norman motte beside ‘Castle Bernard’ which is marked on the OS maps as ‘Moat’ (OF046-044003-). This stone statue was described by Feehan in 1979 as ‘carved in yellow sandstone, which could be of local origin; the horse is a powerful-looking animal in the equus admissarius position and measures forty-three centimetres from head to tail, but its legs are broken. The saddle has a high pommel and cantle, and a padded saddle cloth. There is only one stirrup, on the off-side. The stocky rider wears what seems to be a tight cap, a loose overcoat and girdle, and carries a sword at his left side. The figure is certainly an exceptionally fine one, dating from the fourteenth or fifteenth century’ (Feehan 1979, 160). The dating of the figure would suggest that the horseman was originally found on the Anglo-Norman motte (OF046-044003-) on the grounds of the Castle Bernard estate, known today as Kinnitty Castle and not inside the hilltop enclosure or possible hillfort (OF036-062001-) at Knocknaman.

• OF036-044004 Cross - High cross (present location)
  Description

  National Monument No. 510. Poorly preserved 10th-century cross with a ringed head the ring of which is now destroyed. This sandstone cross contains biblical scenes on both its faces with the sides decorated with geometric patterns (Harbison 1970, 201). The cross stands in a truncated pyramidal base with bands of interlace decoration. Not marked on the first two editions of the OS 6-inch maps and may have been removed from original location and probably erected at present location in the 19th-century. A 3D model of the high cross can be downloaded from Offaly County Council website at www.offaly.ie/eng/Services/Heritage/Archaeology/3D_Surveying_of_Archaeological_Monuments/ Described by Harbison (1992, vol. 1, 35-6) as following; 'The fragmentary cross now erected on the edge of a valley in the grounds of Castle Bernard is saids to have come from Kinnitty graveyard, and is therefore often referred to as the Kinnitty Cross. It stands on a base measuring 1.05m by 0.80cm at ground level, and is 84cm high. The base is decorated on all four sides with two horizontal bands of single-strand interlace framed above and below by a raised rib. The cross, which now lacks its arms and ring, stands to a height of 2.10m. The shaft is 45cm wide, and its thickness varies from 13cm to 19cm. There are roll mouldings at the edge, and the panels on the faces and sides are seperated by the mouldings surrounding them, which turn back on themselves without meeting at the centre. East Side: E 1 : A small panel of interlace. E 2 : Much abraded spiral forms, possibly ending in animal heads. E 3 : Two animals with back part of their bodies interlacing in the centre of the panel. The head of the lower animal points diagonally downwards, and its front legs seem to project at right angles. The head of the upper animal has been replaced by cement. E 4 : Animals emerge above and below from a central spiral boss, The front legs of both animals project forwards beside their heads. South Face Plinth : To the naked eye, the incription on the plinth seems to be very incomplete. ….Liam de Paor has kindly provided me with a reading, based on rubbings taken in 1983 by Domhnall O Murchada. It is as follows : OR DO RIG MAELSECHNAILL M MAELRUANAID OROIT AR RIG HERENN A prayer for King Maelsechnaill son of Maelruanaid. A prayer for the king of Ireland. S 1 : A panel with two strands of interlace pointed at the corners. S 2 : (?) THE SUMMONING OF DAVID - David sits on the left playing his lyre which rests on his knee. He is approached by a figure on the right which holds a crook in its left hand and what is more likely to be a bell rather than a bucket in its raised right hand. A bird with backward-looking head is seen above David's head. The most probable interpretation of the scene is David being summoned by a messenger, who has the attributes of a shepherd. S 3 : A anel of interlace forming four circular devices. Head : THE CRUCIFIXION Christ stands with legs bound and arms falling at a slight angle. On the left, Stephaton with flexed legs holds the vinegar-bearing vessel to below Christ's chin. The lance piercing Christ's left arm-pit is held by Longinus, whose head and arm alone are visible. It is not clear what there ws above Christ's head, as much of this area has been replaced by modern cement. WEST SIDE W 1 : An angular S-shaped spiral. W 2 : Knots of linked interlacing. W 3 : Four spirals, from which animal forms emerge. W 4 : Damaged knots of interlace. NORTH FACE Plint : Inscription As with the inscription on the plinth of the south face, Liam de Paor has kindly supplied me with Domhnall O Murchadha's reading of the poorly-preserved inscription. It is as follows: OR DO COLMAN DORRO..IN CROSSA AR RIG HERENN OR DO RIG HERENN A prayer for Colman who made the cross for the king of Ireland. A prayer for the king of Ireland. N 1 : An interlace of two parallel strands. N 2 : Interlinked horizontal and vertical pelta-shaped spirals with bossed terminals. N 3 : Irregular animal interlace, with heads emerging at the corners. N 4 : EVE GIVES THE APPLE TO ADAM. - Adam on the left receives the apple from Eve on the right. The apple is shown in front of the stem of the tree, the bifurcating and apple-laden branches of which fall down behind the backs of two figures. Head At the centre of the head there is a square panel with roll moulding around the edges. Standing out from its surface is a circle with a raised and decorated boss at the centre, which is linked to three of the six bosses which form a circle around it. The corners of the panel bear interlace. Beneath the square panel are two birds with interlaced necks, and there is further interlace on wither side of and above the central square panel'.

• OF036-044006 Architectural feature
  Description

  National Monument No. 510. Several architectural features are visible in a stretch of N-S wall forming the W side of a courtyard at the rear of the 19th century house known as Castle Bernard. There are 3 windows inserted into this wall one of which is a plain rectangular flat headed window, the other two are twin light mullioned ogee headed windows one of which has an external hood-mould visible. It is not clear if these features are original to this wall or if they were taken from the medieval church (OF036-040001-) in the village of Kinnitty and inserted into the courtyard wall of Castle Bernard in the nineteenth century. A hole was dug in the SE corner of the courtyard at the rear of the 19th century house known as Castle Bernard in 1982. The hole (top Wth. 0.55m; base Wth. 0.9m) revealed traces of a human burial which may have belonged to a burial ground although no evidence for other burials was revealed in the sections of the excavated hole. Inside this hole there was evidence for an earlier wall at a depth of 0.58m of a possible building underneath the 19th century courtyard wall. (ASI file 1982).
