• KD029-005001 Church
  Description

  Just N of centre in a graveyard (KD029-005004-) in the SW sector of a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD029-005002-). A fairly well-preserved, fortified rectangular structure (int. 15.3m E-W; 5.2m N-S; ext. 17.3m E-W; 7.3m N-S) is built of roughly coursed limestone rubble, with some tufa visible in the S and W walls, and well-dressed quoins. The walls (av. T 1.05m) stand to almost full height. Sections of crenelated parapets survive on the N and S sidewalls, the upper courses of which project outwards slightly (Wth 0.10m), carried on a shallow string course above which slopstones project. A narrow bellcote on the W gable wall rises from the inner wall face and the remains of a wall-walk are visible behind it, to the W, outside of which is a shallow machicolation (Wth 2.5m; projects 0.2m). There is a flat-arched blocked up doorway (Wth1.25m) in the W gable wall, and two opposed doorways to W of centre in the N (Wth 1.6m) and S (Wth 1.63m) sidewalls. The latter doorway is blocked by walling built against the outer wall face, into which a round-headed window is inserted. A possible font (KD029-005007-) in which portion of a 17th-century cross shaft (KD029-005006-) is set are placed in the doorway. A fourth, narrow lintelled doorway (Wth 0.66m; H 1.82m) immediately E of the doorway in the N wall gives to a partially robbed out spiral stairs, accommodated in a narrow tower (L 1.9m E-W) projecting (Wth 1m) from the N wall, which gave access to the wall walk above. The building is lit by six windows: a twin-light cusped ogee-headed window in the E gable wall (Wth 0.9m), three single-light ogee-headed windows (Wths 0.23-0.3m) – one in the N wall (cusped ogee-headed) and two in the S wall (one cusped ogee-headed) – a partially robbed out window in the W gable wall (Wth 0.3m) which may have had a triangular head, and by a round-headed window (Wth 0.3m; H 0.94m) inserted in the blocking of the S doorway. There is a robbed out piscine at the E end of the S wall. [According to Fitzgerald (1912-14, 307), ‘… the perforated saucer-like stone had been removed (from the piscine, and) may be the “small font” which was taken to the Chapel in Ballymore-Eustace, many years ago, from this place.] There is an aumbry at the S end of the E gable wall, and three aumbries in the N wall. Taylor shows a castle (KD029-035----) NE of the church, outside the graveyard, on his 1783 Map of County Kildare.

• KD029-005002 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  In level pasture c. 135m NE of the E-flowing River Liffey. According to Killanin and Duignan (1967, 102), ‘St. James’ Church [KD029-005001-] and its graveyard [KD029-005004-] lie inside what was a large bivallate ring-enclosure (an early monastic site?’ The SW, W and N sections of an enclosing feature are recorded on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as two curving parallel embankments (est. max. Wth c. 25m) bordering a small stream flowing into the Liffey. While the enclosing elements are not shown at NE, their former continuation in this direction, until truncated by a road, is indicated by two parallel dashed lines (est diam. of enclosure c. 200m NE-SW). Vestiges of this possible enclosure are indicated on the latest ed. (1939-40) of the OS 6-inch map as a tree-clad scarp at SW, a pond at W and by dashed parallel lines WNW-NNE. The small stream has since dried up, but a curving depression (Wth c. 18m; D 1m) marks its former line W-N. The SW sector is overgrown with trees, while a second dried up curving watercourse may have marked the enclosing limits E-SE-S. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 27 August 2013

• KD029-005003 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  On the E edge of a dried-up watercourse, which may have formed part of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD029-005002-) immediately outside, to SW, of a graveyard (KD029-005004-) and medieval church (KD029-005001-). According to Jackson (1979-80, 154-5) the well was a pilgrimage destination and famous for its cures. Several natural springs rise in this area.

• KD029-005004 Graveyard
  Description

  In the SW sector of a possible Early Ecclesiastical Enclosure (KD029-005002-). A holy well (KD029-005003-) lies just outside to the W. A roughly D-shaped area (diam. c. 46m N-S) with a straight N side (L c. 47m E-W) is enclosed by a well-built mortared stone wall. A church (KD029-005002-) stands to N of centre and contains a font (KD029-005007-) and a memorial cross (KD029-005006-), and the graveyard also contains a cross base (KD029-005005-). Burials are concentrated to the S of the church and the legible burial markers date from the 18th-20th-century. (Fitzgerald 1912-14, 301) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 27 August 2013

  Lies just NNE of the NE corner of a church (KD029-005001-), in a graveyard (KD029-005004-), in the SW sector of a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD029-005002-). A moss and lichen covered sub-rectangular granite block (L 0.85m; Wth 0.73m: H 0.4m) with rounded corners, contains a deep rectangular mortice (L 0.38m; Wth 0.28m; D 0.26m). A plain granite cross (KD029-006----) erected on the roadside c. 850m to the E may have originally stood on this base. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 27 August 2013

• KD029-005006 Cross
  Description

  In the blocked up S doorway of a medieval church (KD029-005001-). Portion of a limestone cross shaft (H 0.76m; L 0.25m; Wth 0.18m), set in part of a possible font (KD029-005007-), is carved to allow a narrow rectangular projecting collar girdle a mortice in its upper end. The sides of the shaft are decorated with slightly raised shields above fluted panels and there is an inscription, ‘Eustace, Lord Portlester, 1462’, in 17th-century style lettering. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 27 August 1013

• KD029-005007 Font
  Description

  In a church (KD029-005001-), in a graveyard (KD029-005004-), in the SW sector of a possible Early Ecclesiastical Enclosure (KD029-005002-). According to Fitzgerald (1912-14, 307-8), ‘The head of a rude, square font, pierced in the middle, lies sunk in the ground near the recess; it is formed out of a rough block of granite, about 2 feet square.’ The ‘recess’ referred to is the blocked doorway in the S wall of the church. Although larger than that recorded by Fitzgerald, a plain almost square block (L 0.59m; Wth 0.56m) with a large square basin, sunk into the ground in the doorway, has had portion of the shaft of a 17th-century memorial cross (KD029-005006-) inserted into it, held in place by small packing stones.

• KD029-035 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  In level pasture just NE of a medieval church (KD029-005001-) and graveyard (KD029-005004-). Sir Robert FitzEustace (d.1486) possessed the manor of Ballycotelan (ie Coughlanstown) with three castles (Tickell 1960, 368). A castle is shown on Noble and Keenan's 1752 Map of County Kildare just NE of the church and graveyard, and is recorded in ruins on Taylor’s later (1783) Map of County Kildare. No visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 27 August 2013
