• CW011-016 Historic town
  Description

  A deserted medieval borough c. 3 km W of Leighlinbridge. Site of an early Christian monastery which was plundered by the Vikings in 916 and burned in 1060. It functioned as one of the five bishoprics of Leinster in the early twelfth century. The first Norman bishop was appointed in the early thirteenth century and this probably led to the establishment of the borough. Abandoned gradually during the fourteenth century but reconstituted in 1688. (Bradley 1989, 46-50) Reference: Bradley, J. 1989 Urban archaeological survey - Co. Carlow (limited distribution).
