• KD019-064 Mill - sawmill
  Description

  Mr. Martin Byrne of Byrne Mullins & Associates, Archaeological Consultants, 7 Cnoc na Greine Square, Kilcullen, Co. Kildare (045-480688), supplied a copy of a brief, undated, report compiled by Dr. Colin Rynne on the mill and a nearby hydraulic ram. These monuments date to the 19th century and fall outside the current remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD019-065 Standing stone
  Description

  On a short and very gentle E-facing slope near the E edge of a golf course and just W of an artificially created lake/water feature. Of limestone, a low (H 1.46m), narrow, lichen-covered stone, almost square at its base (dims. L 0.31m; Wth 0.29m), is fractured to half its width near the top while a chamfer on its S face (0.16m above ground level) reduces the width of the stone above (Wth 0.22m). The stone inclines slightly towards the N and the immediately surrounding ground has only patchy grass cover. Was apparently in situ before the golf course development, but is not recorded on the OS 6-inch maps. Similar to another possible standing stone (KD019-059----) c. 2km to the S.

• KD019-067 Architectural fragment
  Description

  Discovered by Mr. Brian McCabe, a local historian. Located in a narrow strip of overgrown tree and scrub-covered ground along the W shore of a small lake in Palmerstown Demesne, which has been developed as a golf course. A well-dressed, chamfered limestone arch-stone (L 1.2m; Wth 0.25m; T 0.21m), with parallel tooling on the faces and punch-dressing on the soffit is reused to form the N side of a very low ope (H 1m) in the E gable wall of a small, poorly preserved, ivy clad structure, of which only portions of the N and E gable walls survive (L 7.2m E-W; Wth 4.4m N-S; H 3m), built of heavily mortared, mixed large and small roughly dressed stones. The walls (T 0.46m) are each pierced by a tall ope in pointed, Gothic-arch style with rough, undressed voussoirs, and some tufa is used in the jambs (N wall ope H 2.4m; Wth 0.87m: S wall ope (to the N of the arch stone) H 2.5m; Wth 1.48m). This structure appears to be landscape demesne feature, while the reused arch-stone may have come from Kerdiffstown Church (KD019-006001-) c. 150m to the W.
