Description
On the edge of a ridge, overlooking a river valley which runs N-S immediately to the E, in tillage. A roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 57m) indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 1947 revision. Since 1947 the monument has been levelled. The fosse is visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (ASIAP (108) 33, 22 July 2000). An inner enclosure (diam. c. 30m) is visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth, imagery date 24 March 2017). A field boundary runs roughly E-W immediately N of the N sector. The M9 motorway runs NE-SW c. 90m E of the enclosure. There is a large enclosure (KK023-076----) c. 240m to the N and another smaller enclosure (KK023-077----) c. 330m to the NE, both are on the N side of the river valley, and another enclosure (KK023-079----) c. 340m to the E which is on the E side of the river valley.

- KK023-079 Enclosure
Description
Located c. 270m E of an N-S river valley, in tillage. The M9 motorway runs NE-SW c. 200m to the W. A circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 70m) indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 1947 revision. The monument has subsequently been levelled and the fosse is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (ASIAP (108) 35-36; 22 July 2000). A ringwork and bailey (KK023-080----) is located c. 400m to the NE and an enclosure (KK023-078----) is located on the W side of the river valley, c. 350m to the W. Two other enclosures (KK023-076---- and KK023-077----) are located c. 460m and c. 410m to the NW respectively. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 24 August 2021
- KK027-004 Ringfort - rath
Description
In tillage. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 38m) with a trigonometric station (236ft) in the interior. On the 1948 revision of this OS map the NE portion of the enclosure appears to have been damaged, partially levelled or quarried into, as only the S half and W sector are indicated. The monument was inspected in April 1955 and described as, ‘a small platform ring-fort (internal dimeter, E-W 90ft [27.4m]). The soil is much disturbed by rabbit burrows. A good deal of the northern part of the fort has apparently been removed (this does not seem to have been done recently). The level of the platform is about 4ft 6 inches [1.36m] above the surrounding ground-level. There was apparently a ditch round the platform, but only slight traces remain, except on the S side, where the bottom of the ditch is about 6ft 6 inches [1.97m] below the platform and 2ft [0.6m] below the outer ground-level’ (OPW Correspondence, 1955). It was subsequently levelled as part of a Land Project scheme. It is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (ASIAP (108) 28-31, 22 July 2000) and on satellite imagery (Google Earth, imagery date 13 August 2015).

- KK027-005 Enclosure
Description
In pasture. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 70m). On the 1948 revision of this OS map the E-SE perimeter of the enclosure is not shown, suggesting the enclosing element has been levelled in this sector, elsewhere OS map suggests that the perimeter is defined by a modern field boundary, probably incorporating the outer bank of the monument.

- KK027-018 Castle - unclassified
Description
On the brow of an E-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Kings River to the SE. The Kings River is 430m to the SSE and at this point a bridge is indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of Shillelogher, County Kilkenny. Formerly in the NE angle of a farmyard which was subsequently demolished. A large farm shed immediately NW of the castle location is visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth, imagery date 13 August 2015), it, along with another large shed to the N of it, had been removed by March 2017 (Google Earth, imagery date 24 March 2017). Depicted on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of Shillelogher, County Kilkenny as ‘Enessnagge’ castle within ‘Enishnagge Parish’ (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin). On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map it is indicated as, ‘Coortaur Castle (in ruins)’, while at the same location on the subsequent 1948 revision a cross marks, ‘Ennisnag Castle (Site of). The 25-inch OS map shows three walls of the castle standing, only the N wall is missing. It is described in the OS Letters (1839) as, ‘a ruined Castle in the same Townland, parts of the east and south walls only remaining, with the butt of a small round tower at its south west angle. It is called Innisnag Castle; [it] was twenty nine feet [8.8m] by nineteen [5.8m]; walls six feet [1.8m] thick’ (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 276 (93)). Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 374) notes that, ‘The castle of Ennisnag has been taken down, for the most part, but its ruins still remain to a height of several feet. On the Ordnance Survey Map it is entered as “Courtaur Castle,” which is a misprint for “Court or Castle.”. It is no longer visible at ground level.

- KK027-020001 Church
Description
According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 374), ‘The Parish Church of Ennisnag, at one time prebendal, became a ruin soon after the Reformation, and was taken down about 1820, to supply materials for the present Protestant Church, which stands at its west end. Its patron was St. Mogue, whose feast day was celebrated on the 14th Feb.’. In the surrounding graveyard (KK027-020002-) there are two medieval graveslabs (KK027-020003-/KK027-020004-).

- KK027-020002 Graveyard
Description
N of the Kings River, near Ennisnag Bridge, in the SE quadrant of a crossroads. A graveyard associated with the medieval church of Ennisnag (KK027-020001-) which, according to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 374), ‘became a ruin soon after the Reformation, and was taken down about 1820, to supply materials for the present Protestant Church, which stands at its west end. Its patron was St. Mogue, whose feast day was celebrated on the 14th Feb.’. On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch the graveyard is indicated but does not seem to be enclosed, however, on the 25-inch OS map the graveyard is shown as extending from the stream, which forms the NE and E side, to the road in the W (dims. c. 113m E-W; c. 36m N-S). This stream flows into the Kings River c. 30m to the S. A road also runs along the NW boundary of the graveyard. Within the graveyard there are two medieval graveslabs (KK027-020003-/KK027-020004-).

- KK027-020003 Graveslab
Description
Within the graveyard (KK027-020002-) of the medieval church of Ennisnag (KK027-020001-), Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 374-5) noted, ‘a coffin-shaped slab with a curiously-shaped incised cross running down the centre, and ending above in a human head, in high relief, resting on a pillow. This monument now stands upright at the head of a grave, and is deeply sunk in the ground. It has an inscription, in incised Lombardic, along under the right arm of the cross – strong evidence that it was erected to commemorate an ecclesiastic. The inscription is quite legible, though probably dating from the beginning of the 13th century. What remains of the inscription over ground – and it seems to give the full text – is JOHANNES FILIUS CALFRIDI. That is, [Here lies] John Fitz Geoffry. The graveslab is illustrated by O’Carroll (1974, 58) which shows a tapering slab with a head in relief resting on a pillow at the top and beneath this a four-armed cross with fleur-de-lys terminals and a lozenge centre. There is a circular knop at the top of the cross-shaft and the shaft rests on a stepped cross-base (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 27 March 2023

Description
Within the graveyard (KK027-020002-) of the medieval church of Ennisnag (KK027-020001-), Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 374-5) noted, ‘a fragment of another tomb with an incised cross; on the shaft, about a foot below the cross-bar, there are grooves for the fastening of a small brass tablet’. The form and date of this graveslab is unknown. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 27 March 2023

- KK027-083 Structure
Description
Off the brow of a hill, on a NE-facing slope that overlooked a small stream to the E. Excavated in 2007 in advance of the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road improvement scheme (Licence no. E3614). A possible structure (c. 3m x 4m) comprising a linear slot-trench (3.75m x 0.25m x 0.1m) containing sherds of early Neolithic carinated bowl. A sample of ash charcoal from the slot-trench yielded a radiocarbon date of 3518-3368 cal BC (UBA-15544). A date obtained from one of four post-holes found close by indicated a date of 3941-3696 cal BC (UBA-15545) which suggests more than one phase of activity. Ten further pits/post-holes were found within the excavation area but none conformed to any obvious structural pattern.
