• KK026-005 Enclosure
  Description

  Indicated as a circular enclosure on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and as an irregular-shaped enclosure on the 1948 revision. According to O'Kelly (1969, 144) in Physicianstown there is a 'rath here is called "the Forth" [fort]'. The enclosure was levelled in 1955 (pers. comm. J. Maher, 1986). It is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m), defined by a fosse, with the cropmark of a small pond or quarry adjoining immediately to the NNW and another, slightly larger one, adjoining immediately to the S. Kings River flows roughly N-S c. 150m to the W. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 9 May 2022

  In the Ormond Deeds, an ‘Indenture dated May 1, 1572, between Sir Thomas Butler, Earl of Ormond, and William Croke of Keaphedien, clerk, witnesses that said Earl grants the town or village of Phisizianeston, otherwise called Ballynesigy, Co. Kilkenny, with all the meases, lands, tenements, etc., belonging to the same, reserving to himself all game, to have and to hold to said William, his executors and assigns, for a term of 21 years at annual rent of 4l. 13s. 4d., a poundage hog, a summer sheep and 6 watch hens, with the moiety of all heriots, strays and profits of courts’ (Curtis 1941, 225, deed no. 208).
