• KK019-026067 House - 16th/17th century
  Description

  Nos. 88-89 John Street, known as 'Bridge House' (NIAH 12000151), on the SE side of John's Bridge, on the E bank of the River Nore. The house was built in the mid-18th century as a dower house for the widow of the second Duke of Ormonde, who, along with her son the Earl of Arran, remodelled a late 16th/early 17th-century stone mansion house, much of which still remains. The Bridge House was a centre for social life in the city during the Georgian and Victorian periods when Sir Walter Scott and Maria Edgeworth were guests in the heydays of the famous Kilkenny Theatre. The house contains many of its Georgian fixtures and fittings, including fine fireplaces and a stucco ceiling that adorn what were regarded at the time as some of 'the finest rooms in Kilkenny'. During the Civil War (1922-3) the house was attacked and bullet holes can be still seen on the outside wall. The Bridge House has a fine 18th-century façade but much of the fabric of the three other main walls of No. 89 is of late 16th/early 17th-century date to second-floor level. A gable with several of the original hood-moulded window surrounds is incorporated into the rear S wall of the existing building (Farrelly et al 1993, 52). Archaeological investigations (95E0053; 01E1212) have also identified upstanding late 16th/early-17th century fabric in the N, S and E walls of No. 88 and test-excavations have identified the foundations of the original front W wall foundations (Wth 0.9m) (Gowen 1995, unpublished; 1996, 49-50; O'Donovan 1998, unpublished; 2000, 116-17; Hayden 2002, unpublished; 2003, unpublished test trenching and monitoring; 2003, unpublished monitoring; 2005, 268-9). A basement level for No. 88, with arched entrances in its N and S walls, may belong to an earlier phase of construction than the late 16th/early 17th-century house. It has been suggested by Alan Hayden that it may have been associated with a structure that was sited at the E end of the medieval St John's bridge, which was downriver of the present bridge crossing (Hayden 2002, 5, unpublished).

• KK019-026068 Religious house - Augustinian canons
  Description

  The priory of the Augustinian canons of St John the Evangelist occupied much of the medieval walled suburb of St John’s which was located on the E bank of the River Nore. It consisted of an area of c. 2 acres within a walled precinct, currently defined by Back Lane to the N, the town wall/Michael Street to the E, John Street to the S and the mill-stream 'the Little River', c. 25m E of the Carnegie Library on John’s Quay, to the W. There were several gateways into the precinct, including St Michael’s Gate at the W end of Michael Street, Cart Gate mid-way along Back Lane and it is likely that there was also an entrance from John’s Street (Bradley 2011, 336, 340). The priory was founded by the earl of Pembroke William Marshal to replace the earlier, possibly pre-Anglo-Norman, St. John the Evangelist’s Hospital, which is thought to have been sited around Green's Bridge to the N (Egan 1884, 260-3; Carrigan 1905, Vol. 3, 243; Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 182; Farrelly et al. 1993, 62; Bradley 2000, 13; Bradley 2011, 318-19). The precise foundation date of St John’s is not known but it would appear that its new lands were allocated by 1211 and its original grant was confirmed by a charter from William Marshal the younger c. 1223 (McNeill 1931, 63; Ledwich 1781, 528-9; Bradley 2005, 65 n. 9). In the charter, the younger Marshal granted to the Augustinian brothers the site, ‘in honour of God and St John the Evangelist and to sustain the poor and indigent’. The church consisted of a nave and chancel in the 13th century, with a tower at the junction which may have been built slightly later (Bradley 2011, 331). A Lady Chapel was added to the priory church in 1290 and in 1325 the priory was substantially rebuilt; the bell tower collapsed in 1329-1330 and was probably rebuilt in the 15th century (Bradley 2000, 13; Bradley 2011, 319, 331-2). Place’s c. 1698 drawing of Kilkenny, from the SW, shows St John’s with a long nave, with a series of what appear to be lancet windows, a substantial tower and a chancel (Bradley 2011, 331). Following the surrender of the priory to the commissioners in March 1540 its property and lands were granted to the Corporation and citizens of Kilkenny and like the rest of the city’s monastic holdings these were subsequently parcelled out amongst the ruling oligarchy (White 1943, 178; Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 182; Bradley 2011, 322). The precinct and its possessions in the town were described at this time as follows: 'a church, belfry and cemetery, a hall, dormitory, six chambers, a kitchen, store, granary, two orchards, three gardens and sundry other closes, containing four acres, within the precincts of the priory; also ... twenty four messuages, thirty-three gardens, one hundred acres of arable land, twenty of pasture, ten of meadow and ten of wood; a water-mill, a pigeon house, and 3s annual rent, with the appurtenances in Kilkenny, of the yearly value, beside all reprises, of 14s 4d. ...' (Archdall 1786, 370). Its total holdings at the Dissolution amounted to over 240 acres, a grange, ten messuages, 40 gardens, the Maudlin mill, a wood called ‘Chanons grove’ with 200 acres of land adjoining and a further 200 acres in Drakelands as well as an interest in eight churches (Egan 1884, 262; Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 182). In 1615 the nave and chancel of St John’s priory was in ruins and by 1628, when it is recorded in a rental roll, its precinct and lands were in the ownership predominantly of the Rothe, Archdekin, Shee and Langton merchant families (Ledwich 1781, 403-4; Bradley 2011, 328-31). The rental (reprinted by Edward Ledwich) provides information on some of the buildings that occupied the site at this time: ‘two chambers in the cloister of St. John’s and orchard near the cloyster’, ‘the cart gate, castle, and out stall in St. John’s cloyster’, ‘the bake-house at St. John’s and the Prior’s fires’, ‘chapter house within the cloyster’ and 'rooms from the entry of St. John’s Abbey towards the outer St. John’s gate’ (Ledwich 1781, 403-4). Analysis of the rental and Kilkenny Corporation leases, as well as a limited amount of information yielded from archaeological excavations, allows the general layout of the main priory precinct after the Dissolution, and by extension much of its medieval layout, to be reconstructed (Bradley 2011, 331-43). The church, positioned just S of centre, dominated the precinct. The chapter house was located immediately N of the crossing tower and the cloister occupied the position immediately N of the nave (ibid. 332). The W range of the cloister housed the prior’s chambers at ground-floor level and the dorter or dormitory of the canons on the first-floor (ibid. 334). Portion of the rib-vaulted ground-floor of the NE angle of the W range survives. Within a pointed arched recess there is a pointed doorway, now blocked up, exiting to the N, and another, also blocked up, exiting to the E, to the former cloister. The N range may have originally housed the kitchen and rectory, however, post the Dissolution the kitchen and rectory occupied only the NW angle of the cloister, extending northward, with a stable in the central part of this range and a chamber attached to the E (ibid. 333). A bake-house, brew house and barn were located in the N portion of the precinct, with a lime-kiln in the NE angle (ibid. 335-8). The vicar occupied a chamber immediately W of the church and S of this there was a hospital, possibly at 19-21 John Street Lower, which was sited in the SW corner of the precinct (ibid. 338-9). There were also gardens within the precinct to supply the needs of the kitchen and the infirmary (ibid. 340-41). The graveyard (KK019-026235-) is located S of the church. Bradley (2011, 333) mentions that there are several references in the 16th century, ‘to at least six houses, two of one bay, one of two bays, and two of four bays, between the churchyard [graveyard] and the street, none of which survive above ground level, as well as a house adjoining St Michael’s Gate on the E side. The priory also owned property outside the boundary of the precinct, including orchards immediately to the W (ibid. 334, 341-3). In 1645 a Jesuit chapel and college were briefly established at the priory but in the late 17th-century much of the nave of the church, with its two square towers, and many of the domestic buildings were levelled and the materials used to construct a military barracks, which was in turn converted into an asylum in 1818 (Bradley 2000, 22; Clohosey 1946-7, 62). Today, most of the chancel, the Lady Chapel (incorporated into the present St John's C of I church in 1817), a fragment of the nave, as well as parts of the W range survive above ground level (Farrelly et al. 1993, 58). The priory church is constructed of limestone rubble roughly coursed and is orientated NE-SW (described as E-W for convenience). A late 18th-century illustration by Wheatley (https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000550645; accessed 5 April 2022), viewed from the E, shows the E gable and the E end of the S wall of the roofless chancel with the E gable and S wall of the roofless Lady Chapel in the foreground. The E gable of another smaller building is depicted projecting from the W end of the S wall of the Lady Chapel. The chancel survives as depicted. It has a clasping buttress on the NE and SE angle. The E gable is dominated by two sets of graded three-light cusped trefoil- pointed windows, the central window of each set being higher. Externally the window heads have hood-mouldings with decorative label-stops, including head-stops. There are two relieving arches, one over each tripartite arrangement. Centrally placed in the gable above these windows is a quartrefoil window and above this there is a narrow flat-headed single-light window with external chamfer. Internally both tripartite arrangements are set within moulded rear-arches carried on banded shafts. Leask (1966, vol. 2, 109) suggests that the E window grouping is stylistically too ear

A section of post-and-wattle fence (L 12m) orientated NW-SE incorporating a tree-trunk revealed in the excavation (ibid.). Dating is uncertain but probably medieval and associated with attempts to reclaim the floodplain of the River Nore. Compiled by: Cóilín Ó Drisceoil Date of upload: 13 November 2020

• KK019-026235 Graveyard
  Description

  Graveyard of the 13th-century Augustinian priory of St. John the Evangelist (KK019-026068-) presently occupying the walled area (0.5 acres) to S and E of the priory church and is defined by Michael Street in E, Barrack Lane in W and John Street in S. An archaeological excavation (C000414), carried out by Claire Walsh in 2019 of an area (L 27m; Wth 1.8m) running N-S on Barrack Lane, uncovered the skeletal remains of c. 150 individuals (Claire Walsh pers. comm.). The burials were all in simple pits and orientated E-W with their heads to the W. The burials have been dated to the medieval period, possibly the 13th and 14th centuries.

• KK019-026239 Bridge
  Description

  Abutments and collapsed sections of the 1772 St John’s Bridge excavated by Ian Doyle (01E0980) immediately upstream/N of the current bridge crossing (NIAH 12000229), completed 1910, over the River Nore in Kilkenny City. The 1772 bridge replaced a succession of medieval bridges, the latest (KK019-026070-) of which was destroyed, along with most of the bridges on the Nore, by the 'Great Flood' of 1763 (Doyle 2003, 8-12). The 18th-century bridge was a three-arch masonry structure (L 45m) with a slightly humped profile, designed by George Smith and built by the contractor William Colles. Two of the bridge piers (L 12m x Wth 4m) were recorded in the excavation. Both piers were built on raft foundations of timber and masonry and the timber shuttering in which the pier bases were constructed was also present. A series of adjacent softwood timbers were interpreted as the remains of a temporary bridge erected in the immediate aftermath of the 1763 flood. These timbers, many of which retained forged iron shoes, formed three parallel lines driven into the river bed. A collection of 13th/14th-century grave slabs, probably taken from nearby St Mary's parish church (KK019-026115-), were recovered from the river gravels around the piers of the 18th-century bridge where they had been placed to protected the piers (Doyle and O'Meara 2004, 6-20). Part of an abutment of the 18th-century bridge survives today on the E bank of the river but most of the masonry abutments were removed during the Kilkenny Flood Relief Scheme. The remains of the late 16th-century St John’s Bridge (KK019-026070-) and an Iron Age post-and-wattle fish-trap (KK019-026240-) were also recorded below the current John’s Bridge.

  Description

  Timber riverside revetment fences excavated by Ian Doyle and Brenda O'Meara (01E0821) on E bank of the River Nore at John's Quay/Mayor's Walk. Post and wattle fence (L 13m x Wth. 5m) reinforced with a long timber beam (Doyle and O'Meara 2004, 3). Dating is uncertain but probably medieval and associated with attempts to reclaim the floodplain of the River Nore. Compiled by: Cóilín Ó Drisceoil Date of upload: 13 November 2020

• KK019-026242 Tomb - effigial
  Description

  In a recess in the N wall of the roofless chancel of St John’s Priory, Kilkenny (KK019-026068----). An effigial tomb (chest dims. L 2.21m; Wth 1.3m; H 0.72m; mensa H 0.11m) with the effigy of an knight (L 1.39m; Wth 0.7m; H 0.2m) and his wife (L 2.3m; Wth 0.5m; H 0.33m) on separate slabs. The knight is badly damaged, the head and feet are missing. Hunt (1974, vol. 1, 194-5; vol. 2, 155, 289) describes the armour as being, ‘of Ossory type with a few minor differences. The trunk is protected by the usual pair of plates, the skirt of the habergeon appearing beneath. The arms are of plate, but the cowters are smaller than the usual Kilkenny variey and have a small rondel over the cubitus. There are articulating plates above and below. The gauntlets have short tight cuffs pointed below with fluting in chevron form on the back of the hands, giving the pieces a gothic appearance. The leg defences also have a more gothic feeling than the type, with a pronounced keel down the cuisses and greaves and are of a narrower and more elegant form than is usual. The poleyns are of simple outline, articulating twice above and below. The neck and shoulders are protected by a pisane, with besagews on the shoulder points. The sword hangs across the body from a strap over the right shoulder, as at Gowran. The hilt has a drooping cross, with disproportionately large disc-like terminations, and a small ovate pommel’. The figure of the woman is well preserved. She is described by Hunt (ibid. 195) as wearing, ‘a long gown with tubular folds and with a V-neck. The tight sleeves are buttoned nearly to the shoulder. The gown is belted with a wide girdle ornamented with quatrefoils, and over the gown she wears a mantle thrown far back from the shoulders to mid-arm. On her head is a heart-shaped head-dress, the central kerchief decorated with leafage, below which a finely pleated barbe falls from either side and beneath her chin suggesting that she was a widow. On the folds of her dress is an inscription, which is continued upon the mensa of the tomb and of her husband’s tomb’. The inscription, in raised Black Letter script, is transcribed by Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 256) as, ‘Hic ja…. Purcell quondam……. Obiit [ ] die m…… Hic jacet et Johanna Purcell uxor eius q[ui] obiit vi die me[n]sis [ ] A. D. mccccc’ and translated as, ‘Here lies … Purcell formerly …. died…. Here also lies Johanna Purcell his wife who died the 6th of [ ] A. D. 1500’. The front panel of the tomb is carved with seven ogee-headed niches with decorated spandrels. Each niche contains the figure of an apostle, with their names carved on either side of their heads. Described by Hunt (ibid. 195; vol. 2, 289), ‘On the dexter stands St Peter holding two keys in his right hand and a book in his left, a loop of his gown held under the left arm. This figure is partly carved on the return of the dexter end-slab. The second niche has a figure of St Andrew holding his saltire cross in both hands. The third niche contains a figure of St James Major with his pilgrim’s hat, staff and purse. The central niche contains the figure of St John holding a chalice in his left hand and with his right extended on his breast. The fifth figure is St Thomas with a spear held in the right hand angularly across the body. The next figure is St James Minor with a saw in this right hand and book in his left and the last niche has a figure of St Philip holding a cloth before him, with both hands, containing five loaves'. 'The end-slab at the feet is carved with two niches containing figures of St Bartholomew and St Simon, each carved with their names on a scroll behind their heads and with their respective attributes, a flesher’s knife and a pole-axe or sparth' (ibid., vol. 2, 290). 'The head-end is carved on the dexter side with the figure of an archbishop blessing and holding a cross-staff and with decorated pointed mitre under a canopy with foliage. Unfortunately, he has no label. On the sinister is a broad panel carved with a Crucifixion, Christ crucified with a voluminous perizonium flaring out on either side between the figures of Our Lady and St John. The Virgin has a pleated gown with a large veil and clasped hands, St John on the sinister in a gown of the same pleated form with a cloak, holding one end in the right hand as if to wipe away his tears. Above the arms of the cross are four rectangles carved in relief with roses and quatrefoil floral decoration’ (ibid., vol. 2, 291). This effigial tomb can be attributed to the O’Tunney workshop (ibid. 195-6).

• KK019-026253 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Medieval pits to rear of 26-9 John Street upper, 40m outside (NW of) the site of St John's Gate and within a suburb of the medieval town that developed in the 13th century. Test excavations in advance of development of the existing 'Kilford Arms' hotel development by Ken Hanley (00E0711) revealed two pits, furrow cuts and a possible fosse, all of which produced Kilkenny-type 13th/14th-century medieval pottery (Hanley 2000, unpublished; 2002, 179; 2002, 179-80).

• KK019-026266 Water mill - vertical-wheeled
  Description

  Mill building depicted on the 1758 John Rocque map of Kilkenny and the 1st ed. (1839) OS 6-inch map, at the rear of 68-69 John Street. The mill is on the N side of the medieval millrace (KK019-026077-) and abuts the NW (internal) face of the town wall (KK019-026001-) of St John's. Archaeological test excavation by Bernice Molloy (01E1031) identified the remains of a mill building comprising a limestone and red brick wall foundation and an upstanding red brick wall which projected from the face of the town wall (Molloy 2001, unpublished; 2003, 215). Much of its fabric remains preserved in situ. Compiled by: Cóilín Ó Drisceoil Date of upload: 14 December 2020

• KK019-026267 Graveslab
  Description

  Reused as a building stone during the construction of the Evans’ asylum, also known as Evan’s Home, in 1818 (https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/12000216/evans-asylum-barrack-lane-gardens-st-johns-par-kilkenny-co-kilkenny). Located on the grounds of the former St John’s Priory (KK019-026068-), a house of the Augustinian canons. The Evan’s Home has been refurbished and opened in 2020 as the Butler Gallery. Built on a H-shaped plan (aligned NW-SE but described as N-S for convenience), the graveslab is incorporated in masonry on the W elevation of the N projecting bay, near the NW angle (H above ground 2.66m; distance from NW angle 0.28m). Only a fragment (dims. c. 0.4m x 0.3m) of the graveslab survives. It is decorated in relief with an inscription in Latin, in black letter script, which reads, ‘…. die Septembris’, with the date 1542, as well as another, possibly truncated number, 93, which may be the remains of another date or an age. It translates as ‘…. day September’.

• KK019-026271 Tomb - effigial
  Description

  Five partial funerary monuments were recovered from the River Nore during the archaeological excavations (01E0036) carried out in 2001 as part of the River Nore Drainage Scheme (Brady 2004, unpublished). These were found associated with the late medieval bridge (KK019-026070-), immediately N of the current John’s Bridge. Brady (ibid. 22) suggests that these monuments were deliberately defaced and dumped in the river by iconoclasts during the Reformation in the 1540s. The closest church is St Mary’s parish church (KK019-026115-) c. 100m to the W, with St John’s Priory (KK019-026068-) a little further, being c. 200m to the NE. Doyle and O’Meara (2004, 16-19) contend that the these monuments may have been seen as a convenient supply of stone, and were deliberately reused as part of the rubble needed to form a protective apron for the piers of the late medieval bridge. An effigial tomb (overall dims. L 2.27m; Wth 0.65m; T 0.11m), described by Brady (ibid. 45) as a, ‘Knightly sarcophagus lid of limestone in three pieces. Defaced raised decoration shows a figure in outline only, perhaps robed rather than in armour, resting on a pillow stone, and equipped with a sword. The tip of the scabbard remains intact, and in this detail the stonework is smooth. The long sides of the slab retain an ornate vine scrollwork that forms interlocking fleur de lys. A tendril wraps around the head end to suggest that originally the entire side edge was so decorated. The scrollwork is partly eroded on the left side but is intact on the right side. Date: mid-thirteenth century’. Brady (ibid. 22, 44) compares the elaborate decoration on the sides with that of the bishops’ effigies in Ferns (Hunt 1974, vol. 1, 237-8 (catalogue no. 262); vol. 2, plate 65) and Kildare (ibid., vol. 1, 160-61 (catalogue no. 87); vol. 2, plate 69), as well as the tomb of Longespée, the Earl of Salisbury (c. 1230-40) in Salisbury Cathedral. This slab is currently in storage with the National Museum of Ireland (see OF018-204----).

An effigial tomb (overall dims. L 1.92m; Wth 0.49m; T 0.3m), described by Brady (ibid 45.) as a, ‘Knightly sarcophagus lid of limestone in two pieces, tapering slightly from shoulders to feet. The figure’s head is missing, but details of the shoulders and left side reveal a well executed smooth sculpture that describe a knight dressed in a cloth tunic and wearing a cloak. The remains of a sword scabbard survive at the lower left side. Details of the feet do not survive, as the slab has been repaired in antiquity and mismatching masonry inserted here. The upper surface of the figure is defaced. It is likely that his area would have been occupied with a shield that would have shown the heraldic arms. Date: fourteenth century’.

• KK019-026420 Graveslab (present location)
  Description

  Thirteen graveslabs were recovered from the River Nore during the archaeological excavations (01E980) carried out in 2001-2003 as part of the River Nore Drainage Scheme (Doyle and O’Meara 2004, 6-20). These were found associated with the late medieval bridge (KK019-026070-), immediately N of the current John’s Bridge (ibid. 7). It is suggested that the graveslabs were deliberately cleared from a graveyard, possibly belonging to either St Mary’s parish church (KK019-026115-) c. 100m to the W or to St John’s Priory (KK019-026068-) c. 200m to the NE, and used as part of the rubble needed to form a protective apron for the piers of the late medieval bridge (ibid. 16-19). Currently stored in Magdalan tower (KK019-026074-), Maudlin St, Kilkenny. Portion of a limestone graveslab (01E0980: 2277) was found mortared into the base of one of the piers of the late medieval bridge (ibid. 8-9). It consists of a rectangular fragment (L 1.2m; Wth 0.54-0.58m; T 0.25m), tapering towards the base (ibid. 11; 14). Both sides of the top of the slab, as well as the base of the slab, are missing (ibid.). It is decorated with a four-armed incised cross with fleur-de-lis terminals, though the dexter terminal is broken off (ibid.). The cross-head has an open lozenge-shaped centre (ibid.).

Currently stored in Magdalan tower (KK019-026074-), Maudlin St, Kilkenny. A limestone graveslab (01E0980: 2272/2273) consists of two adjoining fragments of a tapering slab (total dims. L 1.42m; Wth 1.02m; T 0.2m), the top and lower sinister side of which is missing (ibid. 12, 15). It is decorated with an incised floriated cross and, though most of the cross-head is missing with only three fleur-de-lis terminals surviving, enough survives to infer that this was an eight-armed, interlaced cross (ibid.). Below the cross-head the shaft opens into a double-ringed circle (ibid.). The cross-shaft rests on a stepped cross-base, only the dexter side of which survives (ibid.). There is Lombardic script along the sinister edge in Norman French which possibly reads, ‘SABENL’ (ibid.). This graveslab has been dated to the mid-14th century (ibid. 12).

There are two lines of Lombardic inscription, in Latin, along the upper surface of the dexter side (ibid. 12). It reads, ‘HIC JACET EMMA VXOR THOME DE WAWIL ORATE PRO ANIMA EIUS’, which translates as, ‘Here lies Emma wife of Thomas De Wawil Pray for their souls’ (ibid. 12-13).

• KK019-026425 Graveslab (present location)
  Description

  Thirteen graveslabs were recovered from the River Nore during the archaeological excavations (01E980) carried out in 2001-2003 as part of the River Nore Drainage Scheme (Doyle and O’Meara 2004, 6-20). These were found associated with the late medieval bridge (KK019-026070-), immediately N of the current John’s Bridge (ibid. 7). It is suggested that the graveslabs were deliberately cleared from a graveyard, possibly belonging to either St Mary’s parish church (KK019-026115-) c. 100m to the W or to St John’s Priory (KK019-026068-) c. 200m to the NE, and used as part of the rubble needed to form a protective apron for the piers of the late medieval bridge (ibid. 16-19). Currently stored in Magdalan tower (KK019-026074-), Maudlin St, Kilkenny. A limestone sub-rectangular graveslab (01E0980: 2252/2262) which is broken in two roughly down the middle (total dims. L 1.83m; Wth 0.67m; T 0.14m), one end of the slab is broken off (ibid. 11, 16). It is very heavily water worn and pitted and is perforated through at one point, with no decoration or inscription visible (ibid.). It has rounded double bevelled edges and may have been the lid of a chest tomb (ibid.). The slab possibly dates to the 14th century (ibid. 11).
