KD022-029001 Historic town
Description
On a low ridge at the W-edge of the Curragh. According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 196-265), the name Kildare is derived from Cill Dara, ‘the church of the oak’, a tree which, according to the 7th century writer Cogitosus, stood beside St. Brigid’s early-6th century monastery (KD022-029002-). The Annals of Clonmacnoise record that in 1012, ‘all the Towen of Kildare was burnt by a thunderbolt but one house’, suggesting a secular, urban-type settlement had developed in association with the monastery. A borough was established at Kildare before 1176, and became the principal manor of Strongbow's Lordship in north Leinster, and the earliest fortification may have been a motte (KD022-029025-). By the end of the 13th century, Kildare contained a castle (KD022-029004-), a cathedral (KD022-029005-), and both Franciscan (KD022-029006-) and Carmelite friaries (KD022-029007-). A parliament was held there in 1309-10. In 1316, John Fitzthomas, newly created earl of Kildare, was granted the town and castle. Bradley et al (op. cit., 199) suggest a population of about 1,000 in the town in the early-14th century. In 1515, the town received a new charter, and a weekly market and burgesses were licensed to enclose the town with walls and a fosse (KD022-029009-). It was the scene of an engagement in 1598, during the Nine Years War, when it was so badly damaged that it was described by Fynes Moryson (1907, ii, 351) as, ‘altogether disinhabited’. The cathedral was ruined and roofless in 1604, and a number of properties were described in 1607 as ‘ruinous’ or ‘lately burned’. However, the town recovered to become an important garrison site during the Confederate War of 1641-53. Around 1659, the Census of Ireland noted a population of 359 (Pender 1939, 395).

KD022-029002 Ecclesiastical site
Description
According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 196-265), the name Kildare is derived from Cill Dara, ‘the church of the oak’, a tree which, according to the 7th century writer Cogitosus, stood beside St. Brigid’s early-6th century monastery. Originally founded for nuns, it became a ‘double monastery’, with nuns under an abbess and monks under an abbot or bishop (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 319-20). The first bishop recorded was Conleth, who died in 520 (Annals of Ulster). Cogitosus’ Life of Brigid, written c. 680, describes a large church with many windows, and formal, decorated doors for the nuns and monks, who were separated by a screen running down the centre of the church. The altar was also cut off from the rest of the church by a screen covered with paintings and hangings, and was flanked by the richly ornamented shrines of Brigid and Conleth. The shrines were reputedly carried off by Viking raiders in 835. The monastery was burned on a number of occasions between 710 and 1089, (not always maliciously): after one burning, in 1012, The Annals of Clonmacnoise record, ‘all the Towen of Kildare was burnt by a thunderbolt but one house’, suggesting a secular, urban-type settlement had developed around the monastery, while after another burning, in 1050, it was noted that both the wooden church (durthech) and the stone church (damhlaig) were destroyed. Kildare’s importance was recognised in 1111 at the Synod of Rathbreasil, when it became one of the five episcopal sees of Leinster. The precise location of the early monastery is uncertain, but it almost certainly stood on, or near, the surviving cathedral (KD022-029005-), high cross (KD022-029021-) and round tower (KD022-029020-) in the graveyard (KD022-029003-); while the curvilinear nature of some streets may reflect the lines of early monastic enclosures (KD022-029058-).

KD022-029003 Graveyard
Description
Just NW of the Market Sq. A sub-rectangular area (est. dims. L c. 115m E-W; Wth c. 65m N-S), enclosed by a mortared stone wall, which, according to Bradley et al (1986 vol. 3, 216), may have formed the innermost enclosure (KD022-029058-) of St. Brigid’s monastery (KD022-029002-). Contains a high cross (KD022-029021-), a round tower (KD022-029020-), St. Brigid’s Cathedral (KD022-029005-), numerous architectural fragments, and burials dating up to modern times. To the NE of the cathedral are the footings of two walls, possibly the mortuary chapel of the Leigh family. Immediately to the E of the cathedral is a smal, rectangularl barrel-vaulted structure (E-W L 4.3m; Wth 3.1m) with wicker centring, which originally would have stood above ground level, with a lintelled, internally splaying ope in the S wall. To the E of the cathedral, and N of the barrel-vaulted structure, is a small, rectangular, subterranean, stone-roofed chamber (L 1.5m; Wth 1.4m), possibly the remains of a burial vault.

KD022-029004 Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle
Description
Stands between Nugent St. to the W and Cox’s Lane to the E. Gatehouse on E side of Anglo-Norman poygonal shaped enclosure castle was converted into a tower house in the 15th century which now stands in the car park of the Silken Tomas hotel in Kildare town. According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 207-13), the Anglo-Norman castle originally consisted of a curtain-walled, polygonal enclosure (area c. 0.43 hectares) with four towers, and a possible motte (KD022-029025-) at its S-angle. Today only three sides of the polygonal walled enclosure or curtain wall (NW, NE and SE), a gatehouse converted into a tower house and the lower courses of two mural towers (at SW and N) survive above ground. Kildare town was used frequently by Strongbow as a base during the early 1170s, and the castle, which was in existence before 1185 (Curtis 1933-43, i, 4), may have been built by Strongbow himself, rather than the generally accepted builder, William Marshall. Between 1297 and 1299 repairs were carried out to the houses, towers and gates, and a new bakehouse, kitchen and well were constructed (38th PRI rep. DK, 47-48, 102). The castle was sufficiently strong to withstand a three-day assault by Edmund Bruce in 1316. In 1331, it was described as having four towers, a chapel and a kitchen. The Anglo-Norman gatehouse was converted into a tower house of 15th century date, with the curtain wall of the polygonal castle acting as the bawn wall for the 15th century tower house. Access to the Anglo-Norman polyonal shaped castle enclosure was through a gatehouse on the SE-side. The gatehouse which today stands in the car park of the Silken Thomas hotel consists of a multi-period rectangular (ext. dims. L c. 11.5m; Wth c. 9.8m) four storey high tower built with rubble limestone with a base batter on the N, E and W walls. The ground level in the enclosed area to the W and NW of the gatehouse is much higher (H c. 3m) than outside to the E, suggesting that a timber gangway must have led up to the rounded entrance in the E wall, which is now infilled with a post-medieval window, with a simple entrance passage beyond, from which a stairs gives access to first floor-level above. This level is lit by a twin-light window in the E wall and a single-light in the W wall, and contains a blocked-off garderobe in the in the SW-angle. A stairs, entered through the N wall leads to second floor-level, which contains a long, intra mural chamber in the N wall, lit at the E and W ends by narrow, square headed windows, by a twin light, round arched window in the N wall, and by a now blocked loop in the NE-angle. A window visible in the outer face of the S wall suggests it too contains a, now blocked up, intra mural chamber. The main second floor chamber is lit by twin light, round headed window in the E wall, and a stairs near the SE angle give access to the parapets and roof area which are modern rebuilds. A substantial, battered, curtain wall (ext. H 5-6m; int H 1.5m; T 1.6m) of Anglo-Norman date, built of rubble limestone blocks, runs off the gatehouse towards the NNE, and its course can be traced counter-clockwise to the SW. A post-medieval water tower stands inside the castle ward to the N of the gatehouse. The interior f the castle ward is today used as a storage yard for Kildare County Council. Only a short portion of the curtain wall can be traced on the opposite, SW side, of the gatehouse, from where it presumably ran SW to the site of the possible motte (KD022-029025-). The curtain wall defence was augmented by three mural towers: one at the SW is named ‘Old Tower’ on Sherrard’s (1798) Map of Kildare, but no visible surface trace survives: remains of a second, rectangular and possibly open-backed tower (max. dims. L 9.8m; Wth 4m; wall T 1.6m), at NW, are incorporated into the rear of Graham’s Bakery on the corner of Market Sq. and Station Rd.: remains of a third, open-backed, rectangular tower (dims max. L 8.8m; Wth. could not be determined) survive at NE. (Mac Niocaill 1964, 101). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 23 March 2016
KD022-029005 Cathedral
Description
Near the centre of a graveyard (KD022-029003-), just NW of the Market Sq. According to Bradley et al. (1986 Vol. 3, 217-21), St. Brigid's Cathedral is the successor to the pre-Norman church of Kildare. It consists of a nave and chancel church, with an almost square crossing tower and transepts, built of roughly coursed limestone with ashlar quoins (int dims: nave L c. 23.4m; Wth c. 9.3m; chancel L c. 12.5m; Wth c. 6.8m; tower L c. 6.8m; Wth c. 6.8m; N and S transepts L c. 8.1m; Wth c. 7.5m). The N transept, the greater part of the chancel, the W windows of the nave, and the N, E and W walls of the tower were entirely rebuilt during the restoration begun in1896, when external buttressing was also added to both nave and chancel. Earlier restorations had also occurred: the cathedral was in ruinous condition in 1223, when it was rebuilt by the first English bishop, Ralph of Bristol (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 83). The roof was pulled down in 1588 and the tower, chancel and north transept collapsed, possibly due to a failure of the foundations. The choir was rebuilt in 1686 and served as a cathedral until the late-19th century restoration of the entire structure. The chancel is lit by three graded lancets above a blank arcade of trefoil-headed arches with pointed canopies, and the restored N and S walls contain two, opposing lancets. The restored crossing tower rises from square piers with centrally attached shafts, and high pointed arches open into the nave, chancel and transepts. Access to the upper floors is via a spiral stairs in a modern octagonal turret at the angle of the nave and N transept. First floor-level was the belfry stage and is lit by two pointed windows in each wall. Second floor-level is marked by an external string course supported on small corbels, above which the walls are stepped-in slightly, and is lit by three small pointed windows with chamfered granite jambs in each wall. A stepped parapet supported on a drainage course is attributed by Leask (1960, 89) to repairs mentioned in 1395. The nave’s N and S walls are each supported externally by six, evenly spaced buttresses joined at the top by pointed arches to form arcades of six bays, five of which frame a lancet, with the two others framing opposing doorways to W of centre of the nave. The W gable wall is buttressed at the N and S ends, and now contains three modern, graded lancets. The N transept was entirely rebuilt in the late-19th century, closely modelled on the S transept and is lit by three lancets in each wall.The S transept contains the main entrance to the church in its E wall; a modern pointed doorway inserted into an earlier, large, pointed arch. A gable line above the door supports Leask’s suggestion (1960, 89) that there was a chapel projecting from each transept. The S transept is lit by three graded lancets in the S wall, and traces of three narrow, pointed lancets survive in the W wall which were superseded by two modern lancets. Some 21 decorated, line-impressed, square (L 0.12m; Wth 0.12m; T 0.025m), orange coloured medieval floor tiles were found in the Cathedral. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 19 January 2012
KD022-029007 Religious house - Carmelite friars
Description
Located to the WNW of St. Brigid’s Cathedral (KD022-029005-) in a graveyard (KD022-029061-). The Carmelite Priory of St Mary, founded by William de Vesci in 1290. In 1539 it consisted of a church, belfry, dormitory, hall, and two chambers. All the buildings except the church and messuage were burned in 1540 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 290). According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 243-6), a late-18th century drawing by Cooper shows a roofless, single-aisled church, with two small traceried roundels above in the E wall, six pointed lancets and a flat lintelled doorway towards the W in the S wall (JKAS 1971-6, 436, 490). There are no visible remains of the priory, but it is indicated on Rocque’s 1757 map immediately S of the modern Carmelite church. Late medieval limestone panels (KD022-029062-, KD022-029063-, KD022-029064-, KD022-029065- and KD022-029066-) set in the N transept wall of the modern church may have originated in the earlier church.

KD022-029009 Town defences
Description
According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 213), a charter of 1515 authorised the burgesses of Kildare to enclose the town with a stone wall and a fosse, for which a murage grant was provided. Thomas (1992, 125) suggests that that grant, ‘… made a few years after the death of the “great earl” of Kildare but during the lord deputy-ship of his son, may therefore have been to restore an existing but decayed wall, or else to upgrade a simple earthen enclosure.’ While the existence of a murage grant is not proof positive that defences were either constructed or repaired at that date, Kildare’s frontier location strongly suggests that town defences were a necessity, unless the strong Anglo Norman castle (KD022-029004-) was deemed sufficient to meet any threat. No visible physical evidence for the morphology of the town defences survives, and any description is based on, mainly later, historical sources, and any suggested town wall course is conjectural. The earliest reference to town gates only occurs in the later-17th century, when, in 1674, three gates are mentioned; Clare Gate, Ellis Gate and White Gate, and a Fire Castle, which may also have formed part of the defences. The Clare Gate was situated on Claregate Street on the W side of the town (PRONI D 30378/2/3/5), and is indicated on Roque's 1757 map. Bradley et al’s mapping (op. cit. 213, Fig. 85) suggests a location at c. ITM E 672649 N 712438. Ellis Gate was probably located on Station Road, on the highest point of the ridge at the NE side of the town. Bradley et al.’s mapping (op. cit 214, Fig. 85) suggest a location at c. ITM E 672912 N 712480. White Gate was located on the E side of the town on Dublin Street, possibly just SSE of the Anglo Norman castle (KD022-029004-). Bradley et al.’s mapping (op. cit. 214-5, Fig. 85) suggests a location at c. ITM E 672953 N 712333. The Fire Castle is shown on Rocque’s 1757 map, to the W of the Cathedral (KD022-029005-) and may have formed part of the town defences. Bradley et al.’s mapping (op. cit. 213-4, Fig. 85) suggests a location at c. ITM E 672673 N 712536. It’s likely there was a S gate, possibly near the S end of Bride Street. Bradley et al.’s mapping (op. cit. 213-4, Fig. 85) suggests a location at c. ITM E 672809 N 712232. Besides the town gates, Rocque’s map records ‘Black Ditch or Cleamore Street’ as the old name for Academy Street, which suggests the town’s SW defences ran along this line, between Clare Gate at W and a S gate. Thereafter, the defences would have followed a line possibly running E from a S gate before turning N to the White Gate and on to the NNW to Ellis Gate, then, skirting N of the Cathedral, back around to the Clare Gate, via Fire Castle.

KD022-029020 Round tower
Description
In the NW sector of a graveyard (KD022-029003-), c. 30m NW of St. Brigid's Cathedral (KD022-029020-). According to Bradley et al. (1986 Vol 3, 222), the base and lower courses of the tower are built of evenly coursed granite blocks, with roughly coursed limestone blocks above (H. 32.6m; diam. 5.3m). There are seven floors; five supported on corbels, with the third and sixth on offsets. The red sandstone Romanesque doorway faces SE (H. above ground level 4.6m), and is of four orders (the outermost order is modern) with a gable above. The ornament includes chevrons, rosettes and foliation. There are narrow pointed splayed windows on the second, third, fourth and fifth floors, and five windows, each partially blocked at the base, on the top floor. Battlements were added in the 18th century. (Fitzgerald 1891-5, 76, 86-91; De Paor 1967, 137; Barrow 1979, 118-122) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 24 January 2012
KD022-029021 Cross - High cross
Description
In the SW sector of a graveyard (KD022-029003-), to the SW of St. Brigid’s Cathedral (KD022-029005-). According to Bradley et al. (1986 Vol 3, 224-5), a damaged undecorated, ringed, granite cross-head, the upper portion of which is missing, is carried on a tall, plain, gently tapering granite shaft (H 3m; Wth 0.56m; T 0.31m) on a large, almost square base (H 1.2m; L 1.36m; Wth c.1.33m).

KD022-029022 Cross
Description
A large collection of cross slabs, grave slabs, decorated stones and three effigies (See KD022-029023- and KD022-029027- to KD022-029057-), dating from the 10th to the 17th centuries have been placed in St. Brigid’s Cathedral (KD022-029005-). KD022-029022-: On the S-side of the nave. According to Bradley et al. (1986 Vol 3, 225. Fig. 97), a large granite stone with a chamfered upper edge (H. 0.97m; L 0.62m; Wth 0.5m) contains a broad rectangular mortice (L 0.44m; Wth 0.3m; D 0.15m). While usually described as a font (Patterson 1982, 13), it lacks a drainage hole and may be a cross-base. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 24 January 2012

KD022-034 Religious house - Knights Hospitallers
Description
In a graveyard (KD022-034001-) near the top of a short, gentle, E-facing pasture slope, Tully House located 170m to E. According to Gwynn and Hadcock (1970, 338-9), the church 'de Tuly' was confirmed to the Knights Hospitallers by Pope Innocent III in 1212, probably on the site of Tulach-Fobhair, an early dependency of Fore. The Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem originated in a hospice founded in Jerusalem around 1070 to care for pilgrims and was dedicated to St John the Baptist. The order of St. John of Jerusalem is also known today as the Knights Hospitaller and the Knights of Malta. The Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem in Ireland consisted of a central Priory founded at Kilmainham (DU018-020286-), Co. Dublin in 1174 with subordinate houses known as preceptories located through the country. Tully church is one of these preceptories and is sometimes referred to in historical documents as the manor of Tully. The preceptory is one of three in Co. Kildare mentioned in the register of Chapter Acts of the Hospital of Kilmainham for 1326-39: see also Killybegs (KD013-019001-) and Kilteel (KD020-007003-) (DHR 1985, 108-9). The foundation date of the preceptory is not known and was established some time between 1174 and 1212. A carved sandstone fragment with roll moulding of 12th century appearance may suggest that there was an earlier Romanesque church here prior to the foundation of the Preceptory. This fragment has a sheela-na-gig (KD022-037002-) carved onto one face and lies on the surface of the graveyard to the W of the church ruins. Alternatively the sandstone fragment may indicate a late 12th century date for the construction of the preceptory at Tully. In 1297 there is a reference to the church and grange belonging to the preceptory of Tully, and to a Brother Robert who was the prior of Tully. The location of Tully grange has not been identified. Between these years a court case was held at Kildare which gave the following account;'Hugh de Kilbeg, and Rob. le Dryuere broke into the grange of the Master of Toly [Tully]; and Roger le Geyte, Henry le Graunger, Ric. le Rov, Walter de Kilbeg, and Ric. le Carter came upon them and slew them, and dragged Will, le Calewe, John le Couhird, and Clement de Kilbeg from their beds by night, and slew them and robbed their clothes, and without view of the Coroner buried them, and were received in the house of Toly by brother Bernard, Thomas C . ., and Thomas the chaplain, of Kilbeg, knowing well of the felony. And Roger de Galeweye, then seneschal of Toly, took Ric. le Rov and Walter de Kilbeg, and another, and imprisoned them, and the other escaped to the church, and Roger dragged him from the church, and brother Robert, master of Toly, sent him back to the church, and by command of Roger gallows were raised in prejudice of the liberty of Kildare, in the tenement of Toly, and Ricard and Walter were hanged' (Cal. justic. rolls, Ire. Edw. I, 174). The following year a second account of this incident id described as following; ‘Brother Robert prior of Toly [Tully], charged that he robbed Walter Goldffinch of hay, to the value of half a mark; and from the wife of the Couhirde of Toly, half a crannoc of malt; also that when Hugh de Kilbeg and Rob. le Driuere broke the grange of the said preceptor of Toly, and Roger Wayte, Henry le Graunger, Ric. le Rou, Walter de Kilbeg, and Ric. le Carter, who are now dead, slew said Hugh and Roger-, and afterwards, said Roger le Wayte and the others, the same night, slew, within the court of said grange. Will de Calwe, John le Couhirde, and Clement de Kilbeg, and robbed them of their clothes, and afterward buried them without view of the Coroner, and after that were received in the house of Toly as men of peace, dwelling, eating, and drinking there. And afterward Roger de Galweye, seneschal of Toly, took two of said felons, Henry le Graunger and Ricard le Rou, and Henry fled to the church of Toly, and Roger took him from the church and imprisoned him; said brother Robert sent him back to the church, to save the church's right, and he then acknowledged the deed before the Coroner and abjured the land of the King; and Roger, the seneschal, caused gallows to be raised in the highway towards Offaly, and caused the other felons to be hung there. Brother Robert put himself on the country’ (Cal. justic. rolls, Ire. Edw. I, 203-04). An inquisition into the lands of the dissolved preceptory at Tully was held at Kildare on the 25th of November, 1540. The possessions of the preceptory were described in this inquisition as consisting of 'a castle or fortilage (KD022-066----) necessary for the farmer, with orchard, garden, 60 acr. ar.[able] of the demesne lands and 2 acr. p.[asture]; 60s. ... In the v.[icarage], 3 mess.[uages], 100 acr. ar. ; Dermot Trury and others; 100s., and customs, 4 ploughdays, 4 cartdays, 2 hooks, and 1 hen, 10.s. 6.d. A cottage; 2s., and customs, 2 hooks and 1 hen, 6d. A watermill, 26s 8d.' (White 1943, 96; Fitzgerald 1903-5, 130-1). A corn mill (KD027-049----) located 450m to S may be the watermill or possibly the two stone water chute stones known as 'St Brigid's kneeling stones' (KD027-010002-) at Brallistown Commons located 345m to the SW may have been part of this watermill. In 1837 Ordnance Survey letters recorded that the tower of the abbey was 'of a square form, and called Castle in common, as yet remains in the ruins' (OSL RIA 14/D/4/13(iv)). The following year King Henry VIII granted John Walyngton, late sub-prior of the hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, and last preceptor of Tully, Co. Kildare, an annual pension valued at £16 13s. 4d. (Nicholls 1994, 28). In 1569 Queen Elizabeth I granted Sir William Sarcefeld [Sarsfield], 'the preceptory of Tully, county Kildare, the lands of Tully, Moreton, Frereton, Bralessan, Terwen, and Prompelan, same county, of the possessions of the priory of Kilmaynan, the rectories of Tulley, Downene, Rathbride, Calveston, and Founteston, impropriate to the said preceptory,the tithe-corn of Moreton by Kilca, Kilcale by Connall, Kilcorke, and Ballyenlen, same county. To hold for twenty-one years from 1596, at a rent of £22 13s. 4d. Maintaining an English horseman. Provisions as in 1245. Recites a lease by the prior and brethren of S. John of Jerusalem in Ireland, 1535, to David Sutton, of Rathforyd, gent., for sixty-one years' (Nicholls 1994, 180-1). The manor of Tully was granted to Henry Harrington which included the 'site of the manor or preceptory of Tullie, co. Kildare, the demesne lands, the lands of Tully, with a mill, Mooretown, and Frereton, with the customs of the tenants, land in Bralessen, Treven and Prompellan, co. Kildare ; the rectories of Tully, Downen, Rathbride, and Calveston, and the tithes of Ballyenlen, Frereton, Mooreton by Kilkae, Kilkale by Connall, and Kilkorke, belonging to the said preceptory, (rent £21 6s. 8d.); the lands of Rosberie, Scarleston, Moorton, and Richardeston, co. Kildare, and their tithes, and the tithes of Cornelescorte, same co., possessions of the priory of Connall, same co., (rent £7 11s. 4d.) To hold in tail male, by the service of a twentieth part of a knight's fee. Rent £27 8s., as above, and rendering yearly 10 bushels of wheat and barley malt, and 10 bushels of oat malt' (Nicholls 1994, 513). In 1615 King James I granted Philip Hore lands including the 'the preceptory or manor of Tully, containing the site thereof, 3 houses, a cottage, an orchard, a garden, 160a arable, 2a pasture, a mill, and the customs of the tenants—Moretowne, containing 2 houses, a cottage, the customs of the tenants, and 80a ; Frereton, containing 2 houses, a cottage, the like customs, and 60a; Bralissan, containing a house and 6a; Trenen otherwise Tribune end Prompelane, 20a; the rectories of Tully, Downy otherwise Downeny, Rathbride, and Calwestowne; the tithes and alterages of Frereton, parcel of Rathbride rect. the tithes of Mooretowne near K
KD022-034001 Graveyard
Description
Situated on low hillock with Tully House 160m to E and St. Bridget's Well (KD022-035----) 140m to SSE. The graveyard is now adjacent to the National Stud of Ireland and present remains consist of a sub-rectangular shaped area (approx. dims. 67m N-S; 52m E-W) enclosed by a 19th century stone wall entered through a gate with adjacent stone stile and coffin stand in centre of W wall. The church ruins belonging to the Preceptory of the Knight’s Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem (KD022-034----) stands on the highest point in the centre of the graveyard. In 1298 there was a court case regarding a murder which took place within the cemetery of Tully. In this year 'Roger de Galewey, who says that he was provost of Toli [Tully], and the felon committed the homicide within the cemetery, and therefore was taken from the church [KD022-034----] and put in the stocks in the house of the Master' (Cal. justic. rolls, Ire. Edw. I, 203). The graveyard contains pots-medieval grave markers, although several graves are marked by medieval chamfered window jambs recycled from the church ruins. Numerous burials are located inside the church ruins. A sheela-na-gig (KD022-034002-) was recently recorded in the W quadrant of the graveyard.

KD022-035 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Situated 145m SSW of Tully House and 150m SSE of Tully graveyard (KD022-034001-) containing the Preceptory of the Knights Hospitallers (KD022-034----). In 1837 Thomas O'Conor of the Ordnance Survey recorded that 'St Brigid's Well lies in the west of the same townland and near Tully House, the residence of Mr. Pottinger' (O'Flanagan 1927, 62). In 1903 the site was described as a 'well or basin built of cut stone the work of the Board of Works, which by some people is called St. Brigid's Well; but this is an error, as the real St. Brigid's Well (KD027-010001-) is situated, in a neglected state on a bit of commons called "The Grallach" (i.e., a miry place) in the townland of Brallistown' (Fitzgerald 1903-5, 130). According to Jackson (1979-80, 157) the stone surround of the well was built during the 1840s as a source of local employment. Associated with St. Brigid and still venerated, this small circular well (diam. 1.3m) now a pool of stagnant water is enclosed by a low stone wall accessed from a modern paved area. Ribbons and other votive offerings have been tied to the branches of a tree overhanging the well. See attached map drawn by Fitzgerald showing location of St. Brigid's Well (KD027-010001-) in Brallistown, the Kneeling Stones (KD027-010002-) and the Board of Works St Brigid's Well in the townland of Tully East.

KD022-066 Castle - unclassified
Description
Tully House located 170m E of Tully Preceptory (KD022-034----) of the Knights Hosptiallers was the late 16th/17th century residence of the Sarsfield family and the manorial house or castle of the manor of Tully. In 1837 Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland recorded that Tully House was then the residence of William Dunne (Lewis 1837, 657). This house was possibly built on the site or incorporated remains of the medieval castle. Regarding this possible castle location, Fitzgerald (1903-5, 128, 130) recorded the following; ‘Of Tully castle not one stone stands on another: the house lately occupied by Mr. James Fay probably was built out of the materials.’ Tully House depicted on the 1838 ed.; OS 6-inch map was levelled and replaced by a modern Tully House which stands today in the Japanese Gardens on the grounds of the Irish National Stud. Archaeological monitoring under licence number 98E0288 of topsoil-stripping in connection with the construction of a coach park and new roadway adjacent to the Irish National Stud and Japanese Gardens, part of the Kildare Town Bypass project, revealed some material of archaeological interest. The main feature discovered was a deposit of over one hundred glazed potsherds of medieval date, some animal bones, molluscs and other domestic refuse. This deposit is considered to have been in a secondary position and used as infill on marshy ground. The finds were probably originally associated with a Commandery of the Knights Hospitallers established at nearby Tully House in the early 13th century. An inquisition into the lands of the dissolved preceptory (KD022-034----) at Tully was held at Kildare on the 25th of November, 1540. The possessions of the preceptory were described in this inquisition as consisting of 'a castle or fortilage necessary for the farmer, with orchard, garden, 60 acr. ar.[able] of the demesne lands and 2 acr. p.[asture]; 60s. ... In the v.[icarage], 3 mess.[uages], 100 acr. ar. ; Dermot Trury and others; 100s., and customs, 4 ploughdays, 4 cartdays, 2 hooks, and 1 hen, 10.s. 6.d. A cottage; 2s., and customs, 2 hooks and 1 hen, 6d. A watermill, 26s 8d.' (White 1943, 96; Fitzgerald 1903-5, 130-1). A corn mill located 450m to S may be the watermill or possibly the two stone water chute stones known as 'St Brigid's kneeling stones' (KD027-010002-) at Brallistown Commons located 345m to the SW may have been part of this watermill. In 1837 Ordnance Survey letters recorded that the tower of the abbey was 'of a square form, and called Castle in common, as yet remains in the ruins' (OSL RIA 14/D/4/13(iv)). In 1569 Queen Elizabeth I granted Sir William Sarcefeld [Sarsfield], 'the preceptory of Tully, county Kildare, the lands of Tully, Moreton, Frereton, Bralessan, Terwen, and Prompelan, same county, of the possessions of the priory of Kilmaynan, the rectories of Tulley, Downene, Rathbride, Calveston, and Founteston, impropriate to the said preceptory,the tithe-corn of Moreton by Kilca, Kilcale by Connall, Kilcorke, and Ballyenlen, same county. To hold for twenty-one years from 1596, at a rent of £22 13s. 4d. Maintaining an English horseman. Provisions as in 1245. Recites a lease by the prior and brethren of S. John of Jerusalem in Ireland, 1535, to David Sutton, of Rathforyd, gent., for sixty-one years' (Nicholls 1994, 180-1). Tully House became the manorial house of the manor of Tully established in the 17th century. The manor of Tully was granted to Henry Harrington which included the 'site of the manor or preceptory of Tullie, co. Kildare, the demesne lands, the lands of Tully, with a mill, Mooretown, and Frereton, with the customs of the tenants, land in Bralessen, Treven and Prompellan, co. Kildare ; the rectories of Tully, Downen, Rathbride, and Calveston, and the tithes of Ballyenlen, Frereton, Mooreton by Kilkae, Kilkale by Connall, and Kilkorke, belonging to the said preceptory, (rent £21 6s. 8d.); the lands of Rosberie, Scarleston, Moorton, and Richardeston, co. Kildare, and their tithes, and the tithes of Cornelescorte, same co., possessions of the priory of Connall, same co., (rent £7 11s. 4d.) To hold in tail male, by the service of a twentieth part of a knight's fee. Rent £27 8s., as above, and rendering yearly 10 bushels of wheat and barley malt, and 10 bushels of oat malt' (Nicholls 1994, 513). In 1615 King James I granted Philip Hore lands including the 'the preceptory or manor of Tully, containing the site thereof, 3 houses, a cottage, an orchard, a garden, 160a arable, 2a pasture, a mill, and the customs of the tenants—Moretowne, containing 2 houses, a cottage, the customs of the tenants, and 80a ; Frereton, containing 2 houses, a cottage, the like customs, and 60a; Bralissan, containing a house and 6a; Trenen otherwise Tribune end Prompelane, 20a; the rectories of Tully, Downy otherwise Downeny, Rathbride, and Calwestowne; the tithes and alterages of Frereton, parcel of Rathbride rect. the tithes of Mooretowne near Kilca; the tithes of Kilcale otherwise Kilbelane near Connall; the tithes of Killcorcke; rent, £22 13s 4d, and 20 pecks of port-corn at Naas on the Purification—the towns and lands of Rossberry, Skarlestowne, Mooretone, and Richardston, containing a castle or fort, 8 houses, and 100a; rent, £4 1s 4d—the corn-tithes of the said last-mentioned lands and the tithes of Cornelliscourt; rent, £3 10s 0d; to hold all these lands and premises from the preceptory of Tully inclusive, in capite, by the 20th part of a knight's fee' (Griffith 1966, 292). The condition of this grant stated that Philip was to hold 'the receptory of Tully and all the premises to Cornellscourt, to him, and his heirs, so long as the heirs male of the body of sir Henry Harrington, knt, shall die without issue male; the reversion to the Crown' (ibid.). In 1628 the manor of Tully was created when King Charles I granted 'Peter Sarsfield, as assignee of Philip Percivall, of the site of the manor and preceptory of Tully, with the appurtenances, in the county of Kildare, and several lands, tenements, rectories, and tithes, parcel of the temporal and spiritual possesions of the preceptory, in the county of Kildare; to be held in capite, by the twentieth part of knight's fee. The lands are erected into a manor, to be called the manor of Tully; with liberty to hold two fairs, one at the town of Tully, on St. Bartholomew's Day, the 24th August; and the other on the feast of St. Swithin, being the 15th of July, at the town of Rosbery; and two markets, one on every Wednesday, at Tully, and the other at Rosbery on every Saturday' (Morrin 1863, 355). In 1632 an inquisition into the lands of the deceased Patrick Sarsfield of Tully recorded that his estate included the manor, preceptory (KD022-034----) and lands of Tully, Friartown and Brallistown, 1 castle, 10 messuages, 1 watermill (KD027-049----) and 226 acres of land in Rosberry, Scarletstown, Moortown and Richardstown, 1 castle, 10 messuages and 150 acres the rectory church of Tully, Downen, Rathbride etc.’ (Anon. 1826, 35 Car. I). In 1647 during the Irish Confederate Wars, Tully Preceptory (KD022-034----) served as a garrison for the Irish Confederate army under the command of General Sarsfield and Tully House was described as a castle or 'Chief House'. On the 3rd of February in this year Colonel Jones of the Parliamentarian army marched on the Confederate army quartered in Kildare town to discuss terms of their surrender and the following account was written in letters sent to the House of Commons; 'During the time of this Parle [Feb. 5], an Accident happened at the Enemy's Garrison of Tully, some half a Mile off Kildare; a House close to the Castle took fire, our Soldiers ran down amain thither; a commanded Party was also sent, and at the Gate fell Pell Mell to work, and forcing the Gate, a Corporal of Horse and a Lieutenant of foot were shot. Our Men entered and got possession of the Church (KD022-034---) close to the Chief House, and there
KD022-117 Habitation site
Description
Identified in 2002 during monitoring of topsoil-stripping along the route of the Kildare Bypass, and subsequently archaeologically excavated (Ó Maoldúin 2002. Excavation Licence No. 02E0541). A substantial number of pits and post- and stake-holes extended over a distance of c. 70m along the route of the bypass, and while most were seemingly random features, with no obvious interrelation, two foci of activity were identified. A concentration of stake- and post-holes was observed on the E side of the site: one of the post-holes contained a large, well-preserved sherd of a prehistoric vessel with incised decoration. Nearby was a possible hearth, comprising two inter-connected, shallow, bowl-shaped features containing some charcoal and ashy material and evidence of in situ burning around the edges. Three flint flakes were also found here. A small isolated pit lay 30m to the W, and contained five sherds of poorly preserved pottery, similar in type to that recovered to the E. To the W and S, four pits constituted another focus of activity. All contained charcoal-rich soil and fire-cracked quartz stone, indicative of possible fulacht fiadh material.
