• KK021-020 Enclosure
  Description

  In tillage. Identified on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BDO062, 16 July 1970) as a circular cropmark, indicating the fosse of an enclosure (diam. c. 20m). See attached aerial photograph: KK021-020----_01 CUCAP BDO062, 16 July 1970 Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 April 2021

• KK021-021 Enclosure
  Description

  In tillage. A curvilinear cropmark identified as a possible enclosure on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGH018, 16 July 1971). The monument (dims. c. 54m N-S; c. 40m E-W) is defined by a fosse and appears to be truncated by a road running roughly N-S through the E sector. A house was constructed in 2019 c. 10m NNW of the monument and the SE portion of the house plot encroaches on the NW sector of the enclosure.

• KK021-025001 Enclosure
  Description

  In tillage. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure and on the 1900 revision only the S arc of the monument is indicated, with a N-S running field boundary skirting the enclosure along its E and W side. It is visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP ASW034, 17 July 1967) and on satellite imagery (Google Earth, imagery date 14 July 2018). The latter clearly shows a circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) enclosed by a wide deep fosse (Wth 4-6m), with no apparent gap in the fosse. There is an outer fosse separated from the inner fosse by c. 7m. The SE arc of this outer fosse is wide and deep, similar to the inner fosse, however, the SW arc is narrower and more shallow and there is only a faint suggestion of the fosse continuing in the NW quadrant. A wide fosse (c. 7m) connects the inner and outer fosse in the S sector, this possibly relates to the 18th/19th-century field boundary which is indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map running S from the S sector. A cropmark of a field boundary (KK021-025002-) runs NE-SW from the inner fosse in the W quadrant, cutting across the narrower outer fosse. Two other cropmarks of field boundaries, running N-S, one through the interior of the E edge of the monument and the other parallel to this, c. 30m to the E, probably relate to 18th/19th cultivation as the more westerly boundary is indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map. Another enclosure (KK021-026----) is located c. 120m to the ENE.

• KK021-026 Enclosure
  Description

  In tillage. Indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 53m) on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map with a field boundary running N-S through and truncating the W edge of the enclosure. The enclosure is not indicated on the 1900 revision of the OS 6-inch map which suggests it had been levelled by this date. It is clearly visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Google Earth, imagery date 14 July 2018) which shows a wide deep fosse (Wth c. 5m) with a gap (Wth c. 5m) in the E. The N-S field boundary which truncates the W side has not been levelled. Another enclosure (KK021-025001-) is located c. 120m to the SW.

• KK021-027 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Located c. 80m S of a river which joins the River Barrow c. 1.5km to the E, in a small field immediately N of a farmyard. On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map it is described as, ‘Lord Galmoys Castle (in ruins)’ and a small rectangular building is depicted (dims. c. 8m N-S; c. 4m E-W). By the 1900 revision the above ground remains appear to have gone as it is depicted as, ‘Lord Galmoys Castle (Site of)’. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 21 April 2021

• KK021-028 Well
  Description

  Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and the 1900 revision as, 'Lady Well'. According to O'Kelly (1969, 78) an oratory was erected here about 20 years ago [c. 1950]'. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 21 April 2021

• KK021-031 Burial ground
  Description

  Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a small roughly semi-circular area (dims. c. 10m NE-SW; c. 8m NW-SE) defined by a dashed line which suggests it was unenclosed and annotated as 'Burial Ground'. It is located immediately S of the public road, with the road running along the NW-N side. It is not indicated on the 1900 revision of the OS 6-inch map. Satellite imagery (Google Earth and Digitalglobe, viewed 21 April 2021) shows that the burial ground is not visible above ground. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 21 April 2021

• KK021-055 Font (present location)
  Description

  In St George’s Church, Goresbridge, previously known as St Mary’s Church. The font was moved here from the medieval church of Powerstown (KK025-007001-), Powerstown East, which lies 3.1km to the SSW, in c. 1812 (see KK025-007002-) (Grattan-Bellew 1979, 45).

• KK025-009 Cist
  Description

  In tillage. Powerstown River flows roughly E-W c. 150m to the S. A short cist (int. dims. 0.63m x 0.45m; D 0.45m) discovered during ploughing in the spring of 1960, when the capstone (dims. 1.73m x 0.79m; T 0.18m), which extended beyond the cist itself to both NE and SW, was disturbed. There were the cremated remains of possibly one adult on the flagstone floor of the cist. A small enclosure (KK025-010----), which had been levelled many years when the cist was found, is located in the immediate vicinity and may be a barrow associated with the cist. Described by Prendergast (1962, 18-21), the capstone consisted of, ‘a flat rectangular block of granite and measured 5 feet 8 inches [1.73m] long by 2 feet 7 inches [0.79m] wide, averaging 7 inches [0.18m] thick. Its weight was estimated at a ton and a half. It appeared to have been trimmed on all surfaces. The cist-grave measured internally 2 feet 1 inch [0.63m] long by 1 foot 6 inches [0.45m] wide and the depth was 1 feet 6 inches [0.45m] (from the top of the base slab to the mouth of the grave). It was formed of flat slabs fitted together to from a rectangular cavity with another flat flagstone on the bottom. Smaller stones were used as packing against the outside and some stones were used to level up the mouth of the cist so that the capstone rested firmly and sealed the cavity underneath. Two kinds of stone were used – the capstone, west side-stone, north end-stone (broken across) and the bottom slab were of granite, all apparently dressed; all the others were of limestone. Limestone is the stone of the locality. Granite occurs about a mile to the east of Jeanville; glacial drift might account for its being available to the builders of the cist. The orientation of the structure on its length was North-East and South-West. A pile of cremated bones mixed with flecks of charcoal lay towards the northern end of the grave. Judging by their bulk it is estimated that they represent one adult and they do not seem to have been subjected to very intense heat since the fragments were not minute. Nothing else was found with the burial’. See attached: KK025-009----_01 Plan and section of cist (Prendergast 1962, 18-21) Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 28 February 2022

• KK025-010 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  In tillage. Powerstown River flows roughly E-W c. 150m to the S. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) with a field boundary running ESE-WNW along the N perimeter and another running roughly N-S along the W perimeter. On the 1900 revision neither the enclosure or the field boundaries are indicated, suggesting that they were removed between 1839 and 1900. A cist (KK025-009----) was discovered during ploughing in 1962 either within or in the immediate vicinity of the levelled enclosure (Prendergast 1962, 18-21). This suggests that the cist and enclosure are associated and, if so, that the enclosure is a levelled barrow. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 28 February 2022
