This directory was commissioned in 2007 by Kildare

County Council to provide a practical, comprehensive

and user-friendly reference book to archaeological source

material for County Kildare. The project is an action of

the County Kildare Heritage Plan 2005–2009, and is co-

funded by Kildare County Council and The Heritage

Council. It is intended for a wide range of users, includ-

ing the general public, local groups, archaeologists, histo-

rians, policy and decision makers, and educators.

Key source material, such as the Record of Monuments

and Places (RMP) and the Excavation Record are detailed.

This directory introduces researchers to essential archaeo-

logical source material at both national and county level,

including textual information, maps, photographs and

artefact repositories. Important resources for maps, aerial

photographs, satellite imagery, historic photographs and

illustrations are also described, as are source materials for

relevant specialist disciplines that are distinct from “main-

stream” archaeology, such as industrial archaeology.

Archaeological time frames

The classification of time periods among archaeologists,

historians and other heritage professionals can differ

greatly. The date span of periods may change as new infor-

mation becomes available, and different archaeological

and historical terminology may be used interchangeably

and is often a matter of preference. The following chronol-

ogy is intended as a general guide:

There are many forms of source material for the study of

archaeology. The existing source material includes books,

manuscripts, journals, magazines, newspapers and other

text sources, maps, paintings, drawings, illustrations and

photographs. These are held in a wide range of libraries

and repositories. Researchers may also find useful infor-

mation in other related disciplines, such as architecture,

art history, history, geography and engineering. For new

researchers, the Record of Monuments and Places (RMP),

the Excavations Record, and the Artefact Record are nor-

mally the most important sources of information on

archaeology. Researchers should be aware that sub-disci-

plines such as industrial archaeology, and types of infor-

mation such as maps, illustrations and aerial photographs,

may use specific terminology and have dedicated source

material to address their particular area of interest, dis-

tinct from “mainstream” archaeology.

The sections below briefly introduce the main types of

archaeological information. In addition to this, there is a

wealth of unpublished source material on Kildare’s archae-

ological heritage, including academic theses, professional

reports, and locally printed works with limited print runs

and distribution (that may not be lodged with the nation-

al copyright libraries of the National Library of Ireland

and Trinity College Dublin). Academic theses – including

undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral research – can

be difficult to find and access but are becoming increas-

ingly available for consultation. Professional archaeologi-

cal reports for excavated sites can contain not only

detailed information on a specific location but also useful

synopses of the surrounding archaeological and historical

landscape. Such reports may be accessible through the

National Museum of Ireland (NMI), the Archaeological

Survey of Ireland, or the Planning Desk of Kildare County

Council. These unpublished sources are described in

more detail in the relevant sections below. Archaeological

artefacts are the statutory responsibility of the National

Museum of Ireland (NMI) under the National

Monuments Acts 1930–2004. Most archaeological arte-

facts – except those from recently undertaken excavations

– are held in the NMI collection. The NMI collection of

Kildare artefacts was the subject of a recent study carried

out by Kildare Heritage Office.

Record of Monuments and Places (RMP) and theArchaeological Inventory of Kildare

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland, part of the National

Monuments Section of the Department of Environment,

Heritage and Local Government (DOEHLG), is the gov-

ernment body responsible for maintaining the RMP. The

RMP is the official record of archaeological sites and mon-

uments, and consists of a set of six-inch maps for each

county with an accompanying manual. Each map marks

and numbers all recorded monuments, and the accompa-

nying manual gives a general classification (e.g., passage

tomb, enclosure, 17th-century house), a six-inch map

sheet number and a grid reference for each site. The RMP

for Kildare is continually updated as new information

becomes available and new sites are uncovered through

archaeological excavation.

The RMP replaced the previous non-statutory Sites and

Monuments Record (SMR) of the 1980s, and provides the

State with a record of known monuments protected under

Section 12 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act

1994. The RMP maps and accompanying manual can be

found at the Planning Desk, the Heritage Office, and the

libraries of Kildare County Council.

The archive used to produce the RMP is housed with the

Archaeological Survey of Ireland’s Archive Unit, and is

called the “RMP files” to distinguish it from the finished

RMP record itself. The RMP files house even more

detailed information RMP sites, delisted sites and also

unlocated sites and some sites that have not been includ-

ed in the final RMP. They may contain both primary and

secondary sources such as field notes, maps, site and aer-

ial photographs and references.

The RMP can be searched through a web-based map

browser provided by the DOEHLG (www.archaeology.ie).

This allows researchers to zoom in to areas of interest, up

to the level of detail shown on the six-inch Ordnance

Survey map series, with known archaeological sites and

monuments highlighted and summary information pro-

vided. The resource allows an overview of the known

monuments in a landscape of interest, and allows

researchers to plan which archive from the RMP files and

Urban Archaeological Survey (Bradley and King 1986)

they may wish to consult in the Archive Unit.The

Archaeological Inventory of Kildare is currently in prepara-

tion, though a publication date has not been set. The

Inventory is part of a county series of published by the

DOEHLG, and is based largely on information contained

in the RMP files.

The National Monuments Section of the DOEHLG also

contains an Underwater Archaeology Unit. The unit main-

tains a register of underwater sites, which for Kildare may

include excavation, archaeological assessment and moni-

toring reports of rivers, bridges, fording points, fish weirs

and traditional river boats. The archive of the UAU is

accessible to the public through the Archive Unit in the

National Monuments Service.

The Excavation Record

The excavation record is a general term that encompasses

‘full’ archaeological excavation, more limited test excava-

tions and archaeological monitoring of development work

that is carried out by archaeologists, licenced by the

National Monuments Service of the DOEHLG and the

NMI. Each excavation is issued with an individual licence

and unique excavation reference number. For example, a

site at the Curragh Camp was issued the licence number

00E0002.

Table 2: The archaeological licencing numbering system.It should be noted that excavations undertaken prior to1993 are recorded using a simpler sequential systembeginning a 1, e.g., excavation number 759 in the earlylist is recorded as “E000759 RATHCOFFEY CASTLE”.

• 00 = 2000— the year the licence was issued. Itshould be noted that although the licence wasissued in 2000, the work may not have been carriedout until 2001, and complex sites may have workundertaken over a number of years carried outunder the original licence number.

• E = Excavation— the type of licence issued. Otherlicence types include Underwater, and RemoteSensing licences.

• 0002 = the number of the licence issued in that year.

The excavation record provides information on the nature

of archaeological sites, and technical data about excavated

“features” and underground stratigraphy (sequential lay-

ers deposited over time). Most of this information is

unpublished, though some excavation reports are avail-

able through the Archive Unit of the Archaeological

Survey of Ireland, NMS, DOEHLG. For access in such

cases, the permission of the report author may be

required. The archaeological record can be accessed and

searched at two online locations (www.excavations.ie and

www.archaeology.ie). A research project (O’Sullivan &

Harney 2008) focused on collating and analysing all exca-

vations of early medieval sites between 1974 and 2002

and has recently been completed by University College

Dublin (see “UCD, Early Medieval Project (EMAP)“ in

Part 6). EMAP includes 74 excavations and 129 archaeo-

logical projects licenced in County Kildare.

The excavation record can be searched through a web-

based map browser provided by the DOEHLG

(www.archaeology.ie) in a similar manner to searches for

RMP sites. The resource allows researchers to search for

excavation reports and to view excavations currently in

progress. Excavations can be searched using a number of

fields, including Licence Number, Excavation Name,

Excavator (i.e. Archaeological Director and Licence hold-

er), Excavation Type, County, and Year. The website is

presently under contruction, but much of the County

Kildare section of it is up and running.

There is a second series of archaeological excavations inCounty Kildare that are not included in the list of excava-tions (provided below) licenced by the DOEHLG. Theseare excavations associated with road development that areauthorised by Ministerial Directions for schemesapproved by An Bord Pleanála. In 2007, approximately117 archaeological excavations associated with road exca-vations are known (details are provided in the section onthe National Roads Authority in Part 4).

Files from an excavation are deposited with the NMS ofthe DOEHLG and the NMI, and permission for access isrequired from the author. All archaeological excavationreports submitted as part of the planning process shouldalso be available from the Planning Desk of KildareCounty Council. A small selection of Kildare excavationreports are held in the Local Studies Library in Newbridge(see the section on Local Studies Library in Part 5).Archaeological excavations undertaken for research orother purposes may not be accessible in this manner.

Figure 1: www.archaeology.ie web browser showing listing for excavations in County Kildare.

While the full archaeological report may not be available,

excavations are published in summary form on an annual

basis in the Excavations Bulletin, edited successively by

Delaney, Cotter and Bennett. The summary information

includes the location of the site, the main findings of the

excavation, the excavation reference numbers and the

name of the licenced archaeologist who carried out the

work. Since 2000, this information has been available

through a searchable online database (www.excavations

.ie) and in print through the Excavations Bulletin. Many

excavations have not yet been published, and researchers

interested in these works should consult the Unpublished

Excavations Project on The Heritage Council website at

www.heritagecouncil.ie.

A list of all known archaeological excavations for County

Kildare up until July 2007 is provided below. The data was

supplied by the NMS of the DOEHLG. Within the list,

headings such as “site type” may sometimes be blank or

demonstrate uncertainty (e.g., “medieval?”). This is not

due to omissions in the database, but to the nature of

archaeological work as the type of site may be either

unclear or suspected from the extent of the work that was

possible. The term “zone of archaeological potential” or

“ZAP” is occasionally used, and refers to the area demar-

cating an RMP on the archive map.

The Artefact Record

Archaeological artefacts are the responsibility of the

National Museum of Ireland (NMI). Apart from modern

excavations, any member of the public may request to

view any item in the museum collection by contacting the

Duty Officer of the Irish Antiquities Division. The artefact

record is often a useful indicator of the nature of archaeo-

logical material in an area.

The records of acquisitions of the NMI are not currently

searchable through a single database. Researchers may

need to refer to different forms of NMI archival records

such as the Topographic files, the Irish Antiquity files,

Correspondence files, Finds Registers and Card Index

files. All of these may hold different types and amount of

information. Staff at the Irish Antiquities Division are

available for consultation for guidance and assistance in

researching a particular topic or area.

The Heritage Office of Kildare County Council recently

completed a study of archaeological artefacts at the NMI

that was of relevance to County Kildare. This database is

currently accessible in the Local Studies Library,

Newbridge, and it is intended to make it available online

at some point in the future.

Irish artefacts may also be held in repositories other than

the NMI. These include other museums, private collec-

tions, and collections held outside the state. A number of

small museums in County Kildare hold archaeological

artefacts, including those at Athy and Kildare (the latter

retains stone artefacts from Kildare Cathedral). Kildare

County Council recently commissioned an Audit of

Museum and Heritage Centres in the county that is accessi-

ble through the Heritage Office.

Aerial photographic records

Aerial photography, and increasingly aerial remote sens-

ing data captured by satellite, provide a high-level view of

the ground that can be relevant at all stages of an archae-

ological study, including reconnaissance, identification,

analysis and illustration of a publication. Many new

archaeological sites, especially those that survive as earth-

works, have been discovered with the use of aerial pho-

tography, both from desktop studies of existing photo-

graphic records and from new reconnaissance. Aerial pho-

tography is also useful for understanding the remains and

significance of known sites, as it can reveal their former

extent and their landscape context. Wilson (2000) pro-

vides a useful introduction to the techniques of aerial

photography for archaeologists.

There is no comprehensive user’s guide to the range of

general public, specialist, commercial and private collec-

tions of aerial photographic archives in Ireland. The pub-

lished directory for UK aerial photographic collections

(National Association of Aerial Photographic Libraries

2001) does contain some relevant information, and there

is potential for aerial photographic collections such as

World War II period military archives becoming increas-

ingly available to the public. The internet may facilitate

the greater availability of private and commercial aerial

photographs. Barrett (2006) provides a good introduction

to the usefulness of aerial photography for the study of the

historic landscape of County Kildare.

Researchers should also be aware that many photograph-

ic collections may exist, but may not be publicly accessi-

ble. These may include collections in universities and

other research institutions in Ireland and abroad.

Individual archaeological consultants and contracting

companies also commission aerial archaeological photo-

graphs for projects funded by public bodies and private

developers. This material is normally deposited with the

commissioning body, but it may be incorporated into pub-

lic archives, such as that at the Local Authority Roads and

Planning Departments, depending on the nature of the

project.

Satellite imagery

Satellite imagery is available in ever increasing resolution

on the internet, with both free and subscription-based

coverage provided by Google Earth and GoogleEarthPro

(earth.google.com), and NASA’s WorldWind service

(http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov). While the resolution for

County Kildare is currently low, the imagery provides a

useful overview of a region, and both coverage and reso-

lution is expected to increase significantly in the near

future. An overview of the usefulness of satellite imagery

is provided by Condit (2007). Satellite imagery is very

useful not only for viewing individual sites, but also for

Extensive butnot full coverage at 1:10,000, 1:5000 & 1:4000 was undertaken for map revisionpurposes. The OSI also have a limited collection of oblique photographs.

Geological Survey of Ireland The Geological Survey of Ireland commissioned the National Geographical Institute ofFrance to take vertical aerial photographs [black and white 1:30,000 scale] of the wholeof Ireland from 1973 to 1977. An index for the photographs is held on ½” OS maps.This survey includes all parts of County Kildare.

landscape characterisation, as a base layer for desktop car-

tography (e.g., creating your own maps of an area or

region) and for researching areas for which limited infor-

mation is available elsewhere. For example, details of the

Curragh Camp are not readily available in the National

Archives of Ireland or the Military Archives, but satellite

aerial photography of the location is available online, and

maps and drawings of the site and individual buildings

and structures are available through the National Archives

of the United Kingdom, in Kew, Surrey, England.

Maps

Cartographic and topographical records of Kildare and of

Ireland are a major source of useful archaeological, archi-

tectural and topographical information (see Hayes 1965,

Andrews 1993). There are a wide range of available maps

and charts that depict Kildare in varying levels of detail.

Copies of the most important maps may be found at: the

Local Studies Library, Newbridge, County Kildare; the

Map Library, Trinity College Library; the National Library

of Ireland; and the National Archives of Ireland (see the

respective entries below). A guide to selected map

archives has been produced by Prunty (2004), and useful

catalogues of maps are provided by Andrews (1993),

Duffy (1997) and Ferguson [undated] in the Map Library

of Trinity College Library. Maps held in the National

Library of Ireland can also be found through the online

library catalogue. Some earlier Kildare maps survive,

including the Down Survey (1655–1658), Noble and

Keene’s map of the County (1752), Alexander Taylor’s

Map of County Kildare (1783), and parts of Kildare are

shown on John Rocque’s Actual Survey of the County of

Dublin (1760). Rocque also carried out surveys of the

towns of Maynooth and Kildare (reproduced in the Royal

Irish Academy’s Irish Historic Towns Atlas series; see

Andrews 1986, Horner 1995). A limited number of estate

maps are also available. The Irish Archictectural Archive

hold a large series of estate maps, mainly focusing on

Castletown House (see the Irish Architectural Archive sec-

tion in Part 4).

The first systematic mapping of Ireland was carried out by

the Ordnance Survey (OS) between 1829 and 1842, with

a second series completed by 1867. These maps and later

revisions consist of comprehensive mapping at six-inch

and one-inch scales, and large-scale maps of some larger

towns. Town maps are available for Athgarvan, Athy,

Ballymore Eustace, Castledermot, Clane, Kilcock,

Kilcullen, Kildare, Kill, Leixlip, Maynooth, Monasterevin,

Newbridge, Rathangan, and Sallins. Of most use to new

archaeological researchers are comparisons between the

first (c. 1840) edition and later 19th- and 20th-century

editions of six-inch mapping (see Doherty 2004,

McWilliams 2002). In addition to the maps, the Ordnance

Survey also produced a number of other types of docu-

ments relevant to archaeological research, including let-

ters, extracts and sketches. These are available for consul-

tation through the National Archives of Ireland and the

Royal Irish Academy Library.

The OS letters consist of correspondence between John

O’Donovan (1806–1861) and other researchers employed

on the survey and head office staff, and regularly record

archaeological monuments, local history and folklore. The

OS letters for Kildare have recently been republished

(O’Donovan 2002). The OS extracts are compilations of

extracts transcribed from primary sources relating to Irish

antiquities. The OS sketches are a collection of over 1000

drawings of buildings and archaeological monuments pre-

pared by researchers employed by the Ordnance Survey

other features of potential archaeological interest (Horner 2006). The maps are being

reproduced with the support of The Heritage Council (see www.glenmaps.com).

Estate maps Estate maps of Kildare, Maynooth, and Carton House dating from the 18th and 19th

century survive in the National Library of Ireland, in the Irish Archictectural Archive and

in repositories outside the state such as Cambridge University Library, with a small

selection reproduced (Andrews 1986 & Horner 1995). Notable estate maps include:

Curragh maps A wide range of military plans and maps survive for the Curragh. A limited number are

available through the Military Archives, however many are not accessible for reasons of

security. A comprehensive series of maps, drawings, plans and supporting text

documents, including most of those held in the Military Archives are available through

the National Archives of the United Kingdom (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk; see Part 6).

Ordnance Survey The Ordnance Survey is the national mapping service, and 6 inch to one mile, 1:63360,

1:2500 and more detailed mapping is an invaluable resource for archaeological research.

A wide range of historical mapping is available for County

Kildare, and copies of most of the mapping is available

through the Local Studies Library in Newbridge. Historic

maps are also available through the Ordnance Survey of

Ireland (www.osi.ie and www.irishhistoricmaps.ie), the

Map Library of Trinity College Dublin (www.tcd.ie

Researchers are directed to Hayes (1965), Andrews (1993)

and Prunty (2004) for general background on cartograph-

ic resources, and to unpublished carto-bibliographies such

as Andrews (undated) and Ferguson (undated) held in the

Map Library of Trinity College Library. Maps held in the

National Library of Ireland can also be found through the

online library catalogue. Historic maps for County Kildare

can be found in The National Library of Ireland, the Royal

Irish Academy, The Map Library of Trinity College Library,

and the National Archives. The National Archive of Ireland

holds many important maps and associated documents of

direct archaeological relevance to Kildare including the

Ordnance Survey and the Boundary Survey, and the

records of the Office of Public Works (including drawings,

elevations and plans of public buildings and structures).

The Ordnance Survey of Ireland has comprehensive digital

coverage of modern and historic mapping, including an

online historic mapping resource. The majority of the

archives relating to historic mapping of the Ordnance

Survey are held in the National Archives.

Illustrations and photographs

Illustrations, including drawings, engravings and paint-

ings, provide a valuable view of how the landscape, town-

scapes and monuments appeared in the past. They are

often the only surviving record of a building or monu-

ments extant in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

There is an unquantified and uncatalogued amount of

photographs and illustrations relevant to Kildare which

can be found in the libraries and repositories listed below.

A small number of these have been published as reproduc-

tions (e.g., Grose 1792; Harbison 1998, 2000; 2002;

Stalley 1991). Most drawings, illustrations and photo-

graphs are accessible in the major repositories. These are

not sorted by county, place or subject. Researchers can use

keywords to search for a description or title.

Architectural records

Researchers should note that there are hundreds of sites

where there is both an archaeological and an architectural

component. The National Inventory of Architectural

Heritage County Survey (see Part 6) provide a limited

number of photographs of some protected structures in

County Kildare on their website (www.buildingsofire-

land.com), and Kildare County Council maintain a Record

of Protected Structures (RPS). The Irish Architectural

Archive (IAA) is a valuable resource for researching

Kildare’s architectural heritage.

Industrial heritage

Industrial Heritage includes sites from extractive (e.g.,

mining and quarrying), manufacturing (e.g., corn and

textile mills), service and energy industries (e.g., water,

gas, electricity, windmills, watermills and steam), and

transport (e.g., roads, bridges, canals, harbours and rail-

ways). Ireland’s industrial heritage generally dates from

after AD 1700, but later industrial structures may incor-

porate earlier remains within their building fabric or pre-

serve the footprint of earlier buildings of archaeological

interest. A national study of key sources and repositories

of industrial archaeological information was recently

compiled by Hammond and McMahon (2002), many of

which may be of relevance to researchers of sites in

County Kildare. Kane (1844) is perhaps the most impor-

tant work in the field, providing a comprehensive picture

of the energy, timber, stone, iron, industrial minerals, agri-

culture, communication and economics of Ireland’s indus-

trial resources. Wilkinson (1845) gives an overview of

Kildare’s mid-19th-century stone industry. McCutcheon

(1984) provides an excellent introduction to Irish indus-

trial heritage; Cox & Gould (1997) provide a wide range

of case studies; and Horning (2002) provides an archaeo-

logical overview of the subject. Rynne (2006) gives a gen-

eral introduction to the industrial heritage of Ireland, but

little of direct relevance to Kildare. Palmer & Neverson

(1998), Cossons (2000), and Thomas (2000) provide a

thorough introduction to the principles, and outline the

specialist approach to the subject. There are many short

pieces on industrial heritage published in Technology

Ireland (1969 onwards), and researchers should consult

the British and Irish Archaeological Bibliography database

(www.biab.ac.uk) to search for areas of interest.

The Griffith Valuation Mill Books may give details of mills

and other industrial heritage sites. Some of this informa-

tion is reproduced in Hogg (2008), who provides details

on mills and milling in the county. There are a number of

industrial heritage societies such as the Industrial

Heritage Association of Ireland (IHAI) (www.steam-muse-

um.ie/ihai), and the Mining Heritage Society of Ireland

(www.mhti.com). The National Civil Engineering

Heritage Database, Trinity College Dublin, also contains

survey reports of four Kildare sites: No. 3001 Grand

Canal; No. 3003 Grand Canal (Barrow Line); No. 3081

Theses

Academic theses at doctoral, postgraduate and undergrad-

uate level can contain valuable archaeological information

of potential interest to Kildare-focused researchers.

Academic theses relevant to the heritage of County

Kildare may be found in the National Universities of

Ireland at Maynooth and Dublin, Trinity College Dublin,

the Architectural Library at Richview in UCD, and other

third level institutions.

Searching for a thesis of potential interest can be challeng-

ing. Sheehan (1983) produced an Archaeological Thesis

Lists for 1976-1983 for the Association of Young Irish

Archaeologists, including Kildare-relevant material by

Paul Gosling (1976) and Cormac Scally (1977).

University College Cork has an online list of archaeologi-

cal postgraduate theses, and the student periodical Trowel

provides information on theses published in UCD.

Archaeologically relevant work is often undertaken out-

side of academic archaeology departments, and theses

may have been undertaken within Architecture,

Geography, History, Engineering, Spatial Analysis,

Construction, Tourism or some other academic field.

Online library catalogues may not include searchable the-

sis catalogues, especially at undergraduate and postgradu-

ate diploma or masters level. These are lodged with the

various academic bodies and are often only accessible

through the departments and with the permission of the

authors. An online index for doctoral theses can be found

online at www.bl.uk/britishthesis, and an Index to Theses

with Abstracts accepted for Higher Degrees by the

Universities of Great Britain and Ireland can be obtained

through Monty Hyams, Managing Editor of Expert

Information Ltd, Hamilton House, 1 Temple Ave., London

EC4Y 0HA. Online resources for finding theses are

improving and are likely to be the primary search method

in the future, with both subscription and free services

offering a range of material.

Gaining permission to read a thesis of potential interest

can be difficult for researchers. Obtaining access to theses

is by the permission of the awarding academic institution,

and not all dissertations are available for consultation. For

researchers who have identified a thesis title and an

abstract of particular interest, the work can often be

ordered through the inter-library loan service or viewed in

the library where deposited. However, there may be costs

involved, a restriction on gaining access to allow the

author time to publish, the thesis may be lodged within

the relevant academic department (rather than the

library), and permission of the author may be required

before a loan/viewing is allowed. As access to academic

works differs between the institutions, researchers should

direct enquiries to the online library catalogues of these

libraries and to the relevant library desks, academic

departments or schools.

Current knowledge of the archaeologyof County Kildare

There is a wide variety of sources of information on the

archaeology of County Kildare, indicated by the diverse

range of publications on aspects of the history of the

county from the prehistoric to the recent past. An enor-

mous wealth of high quality archaeological information

has also been generated over the past decade by develop-

ment works. However, the information tends to be

addressed to a specialist audience, or produced as part of

the planning process. The current knowledge of the

archaeology of the county has been generated by four

main groups:

1. Local groups and individuals interested in the archae-

ology of the county (generating JCKAS and a wide

spectrum of stand-alone works).

2. Archaeological consultants and consultancy compa-

nies who are responsible for excavating archaeological

sites.

3. Academic archaeologists, geographers etc. who under-

take thematic research that includes the archaeology of

County Kildare (e.g., the Early Medieval Archaeology

Project [EMAP] in UCD, and the Barrow Valley Project

by the Discovery Programme examining the prehis-

toric landscape of the River Barrow).

4. State-funded bodies (e.g., Local authority heritage pro-

fessionals, NRA excavations, OPW work associated

with conservation of sites in state care).

However, aside from Nolan

& McGrath’s (2006) Kildare

History and Society, there

are few easily accessible

overviews of the history

and archaeology of the

county. In contrast, the

publication of the National

Inventory of Architectural

Heritage (NIAH) volume

on the architectural history

of the county has provided

a very good introduction

into the development of towns. The planned

Archaeological Inventory of County Kildare will provide an

introduction to the field monuments of the county, but

will not address the historical development of the county,

or the significance of finds from artefacts, etc. There is

therefore an opportunity to address this gap to increase

awareness of the archaeological heritage of Kildare.

Identifying fruitful research areas for the future is chal-

lenging and is the subject of some debate nationally

among archaeologists. In County Kildare, it is not yet

clear whether the focus of future research should be on

collating and disseminating current knowledge and

archaeological work, protecting and preserving archaeo-

logical sites, promoting archaeology as a cultural, educa-

tional and tourism resource, or a combination of these

and other issues. It is perhaps advisable to address the

immediate future of archaeological research in the county

as two separate but interlinked issues – to first understand

past archaeological work in the county, and on that basis

to then determine key future research priorties.

In such a programme, the first aim would be to draw out

the significance of what has already been discovered about

the archaeology of the county and present this to as wide

an audience as possible. A further aim would then be to

draw on the knowledge and experience of a wide group of

people to address the challenging question of future

research priorities for the county. The Royal Irish

Academy, The Heritage Council, the Institute of

Archaeologists of Ireland and other groups are all current-

ly interested in coordinating archaeological research in the

county. A seminar or other appropriate forum could be

organised to address the current state of knowledge, invit-

ing a broad range of interested parties to contribute

towards determining: a direction for archaeological

research for the county; how it can tie in with a national

research agenda; and how that research activity could be

funded and supported. To achieve this, the following

stages are recommended:

1. The production of an accessible introduction to the

archaeology of County Kildare to provide a wide range

of users with basic knowledge of the key sites and his-

torical context in order to understand the significance

of work focused on a particular sites, period or theme.

2. A public (possibly semi-permanent or travelling) exhi-

bition could be set up to showcase the archaeology of

the county, including: the work of the NRA in the

county; of findings from excavations undertaken in

the county; the wealth of standing archaeological sites

and monuments, especially those which are accessible

to the public; of academic research relevant to the

county; and the wealth of information available to the

public, including the holdings of the Local Studies

Library. The exhibition could tie in with the research

necessary for the “Introduction to the Archaeology of

County Kildare” suggested above.

3. The formation of formal links with thematic academic

research projects such as the EMAP and Barrow Valley

projects, and with academic research departments

would be very useful in order to showcase the county

as a case study area and a forum of dissemination of

research material and to encourage further high quali-

ty research.

4. Organisation of a seminar or other appropriate forum

to discuss and agree a research agenda for the county.

This should involve as wide a group as possible,

including Kildare County Council, local groups and

individuals, representatives from national bodies such

as the NMI, OPW, DOEHLG, The Heritage Council,

NRA etc., academic researchers from third level insti-

tutions and the Discovery Programme in order to dis-

cuss the strengths and vulnerabilities of the archaeolo-

gy of the county, and to discuss the future.

Excavations and other sources in CountyKildare of potential interest to a wideaudience

Over 800 archaeological excavations have been licenced

in County Kildare. However, only a small proportion of

these have been published and the extent of archaeologi-

cal information found at each site is generally only record-

ed in the short abstract in the Excavations Bulletin also

published online (www.excavations.ie). A number of

these excavations show good potential interest to a wide

audience. These include:

Name Type Other information

Dún Ailinne Hillfort Included as a significant site in The Heritage Council’s Unpublished Excavation Project

Jigginstown Castle 17th-century palace Excavations associated with conservation of the standing monument

St. Davids Church Medieval church www.excavations.ie (the reference is 1990:071, as are those that follow)

Maynooth Castle Prehistoric and early medieval 1996:190settlement and Anglo-Norman 1999:405castle

Greenhills Prehistoric burial ground 1988:31

It would be useful to approach the NRA and archaeologi-

cal consultancy companies actively excavating in the

county to advise on archaeological sites excavated

between 2001–2008 which may also be of interest to a

wide audience. Archaeological consultancy companies

and the DOEHLG may also be able to advise on those sites

with significant post-excavation findings of potential

interest to a wide audience.

The other key source of archaeological information is car-

tography. The Local Studies Library has a wide range of

historic maps of the county which could be usefully

showcased to a wide audience to illustrate the historic

development of the county and of particular towns. This

could be incorporated into the exhibition on the archaeol-

ogy of the county recommended above.

ENFO

ENFO, “Information on the Environment”, is a public

service office set up by the Department of Environment,

Heritage and Local Government. The ENFO library holds

lists of Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) carried

out to date. An EIS includes archaeological assessments

under the ‘cultural heritage’ section. Access to the EIS may

be obtained through the ENFO office in St Andrew’s

Street, near Grafton Street in Dublin 2. The EIS may also

have information of archaeological relevance in other sec-

tions on architecture, landscape, wildlife and drainage. A

list of the currently available archaeological reports (as of

July 2007) held in ENFO is provided below. However, it

should be noted that ENFO acts as a repository for EIS

reports no longer “active” or in use by the DOEHLG, and

new EIS files are periodically deposited with ENFO.

Researchers should note that the list of EIS files retained

in ENFO is not comprehensive, and EIS reports have been

undertaken for County Kildare which are not yet available

in the ENFO offices.

Geological Survey of Ireland

The Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI), founded in 1845,

is an agency of the Department of Communications,

Marine and Natural Resources. The GSI is the National

Earth Science Agency responsible for providing geological

advice and information, and for the acquisition of data for

this purpose. The Geological Survey of Ireland retains a

number of sources of information of potential use to

archaeologists including geological data, cartographic

data and aerial photography, and produces a range of

products including maps, reports and databases. It should

be noted however that the information is focused on earth

sciences and only a small number of resources are of

direct archaeological relevance. These resources consist of

online accessible information available through

www.gsi.ie, more detailed information contained on the

GSI intranet data management system (DMS), aerial pho-

tographs, and books and journals which are available in

the library of the Geological Survey of Ireland.

The library of the Geological Survey of Ireland has a num-

ber of resources of potential use for archaeological

research including 19th-century geological survey maps

and accompanying published memoirs, vertical aerial

photographs, and both published and unpublished

reports and projects. The GSI commissioned the National

Geographical Institute of France to take a 1:30,000 black-

and-white series of the whole of Ireland from 1973 to

1977 that are available for stereoscopic viewing within the

library but that may not be copied. The library holds only

a limited number of books of direct archaeological rele-

vance (e.g., Bolton & Pavía 2000, 2001; Timoney 2005).

A wide range of geological information, including

bedrock maps, memoirs, and reports, is accessible

through a searchable electronic database in the Geological

Survey Library. The DMS system allows access to scanned

19th-century geological bedrock mapping. These consist

of 1st and 2nd edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map

sheets for County Kildare, with sketches and annotations

indicating bedrock, quaternary and mineral deposits and

other geological information compiled from the 1860s

onwards. The DMS also has a scanned series of Field

Notebooks that accompany these maps. It should be

noted that archaeological sites and monuments already

indicated on the 1st edition maps are very rarely men-

tioned in either the maps or the field notebooks. However,

the information is very useful for noting changes in the

landscape (e.g., new roads, railways, canals, buildings and

quarries constructed 1840-1860) and for the study of

mining and other types of industrial archaeological her-

itage. Detailed geological information is found at six-inch,

1-inch, and 1:100,000 scale, with 1:50,000 scale mapping

currently in production.

The Heritage Council

The Heritage Council was established as a statutory body

under the Heritage Act 1995. Its role is to propose policies

and priorities for the identification, protection, preserva-

tion and enhancement of the national heritage, including

monuments, archaeological objects, heritage objects such

as art and industrial works, documents and genealogical

records, architectural heritage, and wrecks. The Council

has a particular responsibility to promote interest, educa-

tion, knowledge and pride in the national heritage.

The enclosure at Knockaulin Hill Co. Kildare (Fig. 10.1.1; Plate 10.1.1) was first identi-fied in 1837 by John O’Donovan as the site of Dún Ailinne. He described it as anenclosing fosse and external bank measuring 1200ft (c.400m) in diameter, with a seg-ment of a ruined fort, about 100 ft. (c. 34m) in diameter, on the summit of the hill (Fig10.1.2). The research excavation (Fig 10.1.3) extended over eight seasons between

The Heritage Council has commissioned studies and pub-

lished a wide range of documents in relation to raising

awareness, knowledge and protection of archaeological

heritage. These include works of general interest to

Ireland’s archaeological heritage (e.g., Hammond &

McMahon 2002), and works of specific interest to County

Kildare, such as detailed stone weathering studies of mon-

uments at Castledermot and the High Cross at Moone

(Pavía and Bolton 2001). Much of the information is

available online at The Heritage Council website

(www.heritagecouncil.ie), including brief reports on Dún

Ailinne (Knockaulin and Glebe North townlands),

County Kildare as part of the Unpublished Excavations

project (see also Wailes 1968, 1970a, 1970b, 1976, 1990).

Irish Architectural Archive

The Irish Architectural Archive (IAA; www.iarc.ie) was

established in 1976 to collect and preserve material of

every kind relating to the architecture of Ireland, and

make it available to the public. The Archive’s accessions

include a wide range of single items such as books, pam-

phlets, drawings, photographs and models, and an exten-

sive collection of drawings and files created by large archi-

tectural practices. The library does not have an extensive

collection of archaeological information, however much

of the architectural and art historical information can also

be relevant for particular monuments and sites.

The collection has the largest body of historic architectur-

al records in Ireland, including the most significant body

of historic Irish architectural drawings in the world, with

in excess of 250,000 drawings ranging in date from the

late 17th century to the present. Also housed in the

Archive are over 400,000 photographs, making this one of

the largest collections of photographs in Ireland. There is

also an extensive reference library, with more than 15,000

items of printed matter.

The holdings of the Irish Architectural Archive contain

material – primary and secondary – on every notable Irish

architect, on Irish buildings of every type, period or style,

and on most buildings of significant architectural value in

Ireland. Direct access to the Archive’s contents is provided

only in the Archive’s reading room. All legitimate

researchers are welcome. No fee is levied and no appoint-

ment is necessary. Access is at the discretion of the

Archive staff, and readers are required to register before

they are admitted to the reading room. Members of staff

are always on hand to assist readers and provide direction

in identifying relevant material. The catalogue can be

searched by keyword, focusing on an particular architect,

or by building name, or by place. However, it should be

noted that while a simple searches using a keyword such

as “Kildare” will show most, but not all, holdings relevant

to the county, further keyword searches will be necessary

for buildings or places of interest (e.g., “Athy”, “Curragh”

etc.). The entries refer to publications, reports, drawings,

photographs, newspaper clippings and articles that are

either accessible on open shelves or can be ordered from

the library desk.

The catalogue is available as a searchable Microsoft Access

database which can be consulted in the library. Searching

is available by keyword. For example, searching “Kildare”

results in 456 entries using the word Kildare. These are

sorted under five categories: County, Place, Street,

Number and Name. Filtering to identify buildings in

county results in a list of buildings and structures ordered

alphabetically by name. While many of the these are rela-

tively recent buildings, some historic properties may con-

tain fabric from earlier structures of archaeological inter-

est, or may be of interest for other reasons.

The collections cover a wide range of building types

including towns, streets, and terraces, large country man-

sions and estates, archaeological ruins, public buildings

(courthouses, schools, libraries, garda stations), infra-

structure (bridges, aqueducts, canals and canal buildings

such as harbours, locks, lockkeeper’s houses, etc.),

churches, factories, gasworks, hotels, cottages (thatched

and unthatched), ballrooms, barracks and other military

structures, workhouses, fair greens, banks, pubs and

mills.

A more complex site such as Carton House, has more

extensive holdings including thirty-eight items of “print-

ed matter” (including pamphlets, books, periodicals and

press cuttings), and thirty-five items of “archive material”

(mainly comprising drawings and plans). The “archive

material” is likely to be of great archaeological interest, as

each of the thirty-five items may contain a wide range of

original documents. For example, the Guinness Drawings

Collections contains 165 architectural drawings c.

1745–1970 collected by the Hon. Desmond Guinness

from a number of sources including the Estate Office of

the Duke of Leinster (situated in Lower Dominick Street,

Dublin until 1958). There are also thirty-five drawings of

Carton House and demesne from the Carton Estate Office

of the Earls of Kildare. Sites of archaeological significance

such as Moone Abbey may include photographs and ref-

erences to published work such as Clyne (1999), Dolan

(1999) and Harbison (1999). The Archive also holds a

limited selection of published maps including Kildare

(Andrews 1986) and Maynooth (Horner 1995) from the

Irish Historic Towns Atlas series.

Land Registry

The Land Registry Office holds information on six-inch

and 1:2,500 maps and accompanying folios for properties

which are held digitally on computer which may be of

help in tracing the ownership and descriptions of proper-

ties. Access to Setanta House is along the side of the

Kilkenny Design Centre on Nassau Street, Dublin 2. The

Irish Land Registry have an online mapping service

(www.landdirect.ie) that allows researchers to view digital

online maps to a desired location, to search by folio num-

ber, or to search address for relevant information.

Military Archives

The Military Archives is housed in Cathal Brugha

Barracks, in Rathmines, Dublin 6. The archive is the

repository for the records of the Department of Defence,

the Defence Forces and the Army Pensions Board, and

holds text, drawings and illustrations on military sites

such as the Curragh, and major 20th-century events such

as the Bureau of Military History 1913-21 collection, Civil

War material, and copies of military publications and

handbooks such as An Cosantóir. Access to the archive is

by appointment only, and the specific needs of the

researcher should be discussed with the archivist in

advance. It should also be noted that it is currently not

possible to photocopy or otherwise reproduce material

from the archive and notes must be transcribed by hand in

pencil.

National Archives of Ireland

The National Archives of Ireland, part of the Department

of Arts, Sport and Tourism, holds the records of the mod-

ern Irish state that document its historical evolution and

the creation of its national identity. Holdings relate to all

parts of Ireland and provide essential primary source

material to understand the political, economic and social

forces which have shaped 20th-century Ireland.

Some specific holdings in the National Archives of Ireland

have direct archaeological relevance for Kildare. This

includes information regarding the Ordnance Survey and

boundary survey, and the records of the Office of Public

Works (drawings, elevations and plans of public build-

ings, roads, bridges, canals and correspondence relating to

public works). There is also a wide range of other source

material of potential interest to researchers including

maps and census returns. Trade records may be of use as

background material for a property under study. The

Society of Archives of Ireland is contactable at soai@eir-

com.net and at www.nationalarchives.ie/aac.

National Gallery of Ireland

The National Gallery of Ireland holds a range of research

collections relating to the national and international

development of the visual arts from the medieval period

onwards. The collection contains a wide range of prints

and drawings, including landscape, architectural and top-

ographical works and portraits of potential interest to

archaeological researchers, that are available for study in

the Diageo Print Room. The Fine Arts Library’s specialist

collection consists of over 50,000 publications relating to

art from the 15th century to the present, including items

on museology, architecture, history and biography, many

of which are unavailable elsewhere in Ireland. The online

databases and bibliographic resources include a

Bibliography of the History of Art and an Art Sales Index.

The National Gallery has not been catalogued for archae-

ological research purposes, but could be useful for a par-

ticular place or building of interest.

National Library of Ireland

The National Library of Ireland (NLI) is a cultural institu-

tion under the aegis of the Department of Arts, Sport and

Tourism whose mission is to collect, preserve and make

available books, manuscripts and illustrative material of

Irish interest. There are a number of sections to the

National Library of Ireland, including Photographs, Prints

and Drawings held in Meeting House Square, Temple Bar,

Dublin 2 (see National Photographic Archive section

below).

The National Library is open, free of charge, to the gener-

al public. A Reader’s Ticket is necessary in order to con-

sult materials in the Main Reading Room. An extra ticket,

a Manuscript Reading Room ticket, is required for access

to the Manuscripts Room. These tickets are to allow for

tracking of items called up for reading and are issued free

on application from near the entrance lobby; personal

identification is advisable. The library does not lend

books and material is only accessible in the various read-

ing rooms. It is possible to get copies of photographs,

slides or microfilm of most items in the collections for a

fee. Membership is open to all those with an interest in the

library and the heritage in its care.

Family history can be researched in the Genealogical

Room which is on open access and does not require a

reader’s ticket. Counter staff can direct researchers to

access the wide range of catalogues including the Hayes’

Catalogues of Articles in Periodicals and Manuscripts (sort-

ed by county, and allowing the search for articles of archae-

ological interest for County Kildare following the standard

author-title-date system), The Guard Books catalogues of

Computer Catalogue. The List of Special Collections in the

Manuscripts Room indicates Kildare-relevant material.

The NLI also holds an important map collection contain-

ing maps, such as the c. 1829 estate map of Lord William

Fitzgerald’s manor of Graney with map indexes available

for consultation at the counter. These map indexes take

two forms -– one in map format showing where the maps

relate to, and the second a list of many types of map.

National Museum of Ireland

The National Museum of Ireland (NMI) is the national

repository for all archaeological objects found in Ireland

(see The Artefact Record in Part 3). The museum has

four divisions: Antiquities, Folklife, Art and Industry

and Natural History, and houses over 2,000,000 artefacts

ranging in date from 8000 BC to the present.Since the

Supreme Court decision on the Derrynaflan case in

1994, all archaeological objects with no known owner

are the property of the state and are acquired by the

National Museum of Ireland. The museum also holds

records, reports and other paper documents, and copies

of the Cambridge St Joseph aerial photographic collec-

tion.

The acquisitions of the NMI may be traced through a

number of databases including the Topographical Files

(which are sorted by townland), the Irish Antiquities

Files, the Correspondence Files, the Card Index files and

the Finds registers. A number of 19th- and 20th-century

catalogues are also of use (e.g., Eogan 1965, 1983, 2001).

Kildare Heritage Office has recently compiled a database

of all Kildare archaeological artefacts (accessible through

the Local Studies Library, Newbridge), and all holdings in

the Art and Industry section relevant to County Kildare,

held in the NMI.

National Photographic Archive

The National Photographic Archive (NPA) is a section of

the National Library, with a collection of approximately

600,000 photographs, mostly historical. Subject matter

ranges from topographical views to studio portraits, and

from political events to early tourist photographs. The

National Library’s Online Catalogue allows users to con-

sult the photographs that have been catalogued to date.

Researchers can search each collection for Kildare materi-

al through the online catalogue (www.nli.ie). The collec-

tions were not catalogued for archaeological purposes,

and are not sorted by county, place or other locational

Kildare Cathedral. Courtesy of the Local Studies Library, Newbridge.

data, but are instead catalogued by “subject”, “topic” or

“title”. Extensive keyword seaching is therefore required

to identify and locate photographs of archaeological inter-

est. There are late 19th- and early 20th-century photo-

graphs from different historical collections of some of the

most well-known archaeological buildings and monu-

ments from the county, including St Brigid’s Cathedral,

Kildare (LROY 5568, c. 1880-1900), and the high crosses

(LCAB 850, c. 1880-1900) and Franciscan Friary of

Castledermot (LCAB 846, c. 1880-1900).

Admission to the Reading Room is by appointment or by

personal application to the National Photographic

Archive. The Reading Room has access to the online cata-

logue, and also to current collection indexes and, in the

case of certain smaller collections, copy prints of images.

A number of general reference sources on photography

are available on open access. Rouse (1998) provides a use-

ful introduction to the collection. A range of reprograph-

ic services including photographic prints of various sizes,

black & white and colour, slides and transparencies are

also available. The reproduction of National Library of

Ireland photographs by publication (irrespective of the

media format), by transmission or broadcast, or for dis-

play in a public area, is subject to the permission of the

Council of Trustees of the National Library of Ireland and

to the payment of the relevant fee.

National Roads Authority

The National Roads Authority (NRA) plays a primary role

in financing and managing the archaeological component

of road building, from pre-planning route selection to on-

site archaeological investigation and resolution, to the post

excavation and publication of the results of national road

schemes (O’Sullivan 2003; O’Rourke 2004). The NRA is an

important growing source of newly discovered archaeolog-

ical information on specific sites, and has a range of down-

loadable PDF format booklets, posters, articles and reports

available at www.nra.ie (e.g. McDonagh 2005). The NRA

began publishing Seanda, an archaeology magazine of find-

ings associated with NRA works, in 2006. A number of

archaeologists, employed by the National Roads Authority,

are assigned to the National Roads Design Office (NRDO)

of Kildare County Council. Their role is to manage archae-

ological aspects of national road developments and to dis-

seminate the findings of archaeological work on road

developments to a wide audience.

Preliminary and final reports are produced for all individ-

ual excavations and submitted to the statutory authorities.

The NRA Archaeological Team intends to lodge a digital

and/or hard copy of each report for consultation with the

Local History Section of Kildare County Library. The

National Roads Authority maintains a database of archae-

ological sites excavated and recorded throughout the

country as part of the national roads building programme.

This online searchable database is accessible at

www.nra.ie/Archaeology/NRAArchaeologicalDatabase.

Once final reports have been produced, the NRA intends

to publish scheme specific monographs detailing the

archaeological findings from all major road scheme devel-

opments. It is likely that some of the smaller Kildare

schemes listed above will be incorporated under the

umbrella of a single monograph.

Subsequent to the National Monuments (Amendment)

Act 2004, any works of an archaeological nature that are

carried out in respect of an approved road development

are undertaken in accordance with Directions issued by

the Minister of Environment, Heritage and Local

Government. Appendix IV outlines

details of all such excavations car-

ried out in compliance with

Ministerial Directions in

County Kildare.

National University of Ireland, MaynoothLibrary

The library holds a major collection of medieval and 18th-

and 19th-century Irish manuscripts of great value for his-

torical research. The Geography Department at The

National University of Ireland Maynooth has recently

been presented by Professor John Andrews with his exten-

sive collection of maps, atlases, etc., relating to Ireland.

These have not yet been indexed but are likely to contain

materials relating to County Kildare. The university also

produces theses and publications as part of the Maynooth

Studies in Local History series which contains Kildare-rel-

evant material (e.g., O’Dowd 1997, and Gillespie 2001).

Office of Public Works, NationalMonuments and Historic Properties Service

The National Monuments and Historic Properties Service,

Office of Public Works (OPW), maintains a register of

Monuments in State Care which is separate, though cross-

referenced to, the Record of Monuments and Places

(RMP). The register holds details of between 600 and 800

monuments in state care (Lambrick & Doyle 2000).

Access to the data is restricted as many of the files are in

active use. However, much of the data of most relevance

to researchers, including drawings, administrative files,

etc., is held by the National Archives of Ireland (see Lohan

1994).

Ordnance Survey of Ireland

The Ordnance Survey of Ireland (OSI) Office was estab-

lished in 1824 to carry out a survey of Ireland to update

land valuations for taxation purposes. Work on surveying

the country began almost immediately, and by 1846 the

entire island had been surveyed at a scale of six inches to

one mile. Ireland was the first country in the world to be

entirely mapped at such a detailed scale. The original

paper maps and accompanying documentation are now

held in the National Archives of Ireland. However, digital

versions of some maps are available through the Ordnance

Survey of Ireland, Phoenix Park, Dublin 8, OSI shops, the

Architecture Library at Richview in University College

Dublin, and the Map Library of Trinity College Dublin.

The Ordnance Survey of Ireland currently provides mod-

ern mapping and geographic information services includ-

ing tourist and leisure maps, guides, digital data, geodetic

services (GPS data), and aerial photography. Many of

these modern mapping resources can be usefully com-

pared with historical maps to understand the develop-

ment of a site, town or landscape over time. OSI provides

an Historic Map Viewer Service (www.irishhistoricmaps

.ie) in collaboration with the Department of Environment,

Heritage and Local Government and the public library

service. This service will allow online access to historic

Ordnance Survey 6-inch mapping from the 1830s, and 25-

inch maps from 1879-1913. Paper and digital versions of

these maps are also available through the Local Studies

Library in Newbridge, the National Library of Ireland,

Trinity College Dublin Map Library, and the Royal Irish

Academy.

Registry of Deeds

The Registry of Deeds holds copies of all deeds that were

officially registered from 1708 to date. Not all transactions

were registered, and small land holdings rarely were.

Deeds were made for leases, mortgages, marriage settle-

ments or rent changes and as a consequence of wills. The

Registry holds a memorial of the deed that was also tran-

scribed into a large volume and indexed. There are two

catalogues: one arranged under year of registration, then

within that year by county and barony but with no order

as to the townland; the second is under year of registra-

tion and then within that by name of grantor. There are

three reference numbers to volume, page and deed for

each deed. Deeds may contain lists of townlands, physical

descriptions of areas, details of mills, fisheries and turbary,

family genealogy, amount of money in the transaction and

names of tenants.

There is a small daily entrance fee. A photocopying serv-

ice and basic academic assistance are available on request.

When a deed is registered, it is returned to the party who

delivered it for registration. The document filed in the

Registry of Deeds is essentially a memorial containing a

synopsis of the deeds and other statutory requirements.

Any person is entitled to search on payment of a small

prescribed daily fee. However, official searches resulting in

a certificate of the results of the search are also possible at

professional rates.

Representative Church Body Library

The Representative Church Body (RCB) of the Church of

Ireland has an extensive archive in the library comprising a

wide variety of material from over 830 parishes, mainly in

the Republic of Ireland (Refaussé, 1999). The library is very

useful for the study of 18th- and 19th- century churches, as

original building records including photographs, plans and

drawings survive for many sites. The RCB also holds useful

information on ruined ecclesiastical sites in their care,

though the level of detail varies with some sites having

extensive photographs and text while other sites have few

if any references. Other relevant information may be found

among baptismal, marriage and death records, clergy lists

and miscellaneous ecclesiastical manuscripts.

Royal Irish Academy

The Royal Irish Academy (RIA) is the academy for sci-

ences and humanities for the whole of Ireland. The

Academy seeks to promote excellence in scholarship, to

offer a forum for Irish scholars, to recognise achievements

in learning, direct research programmes and undertake its

own research projects, particularly in areas relating to

Ireland and its heritage. The Proceedings of the Royal

Irish Academy (PRIA) provides an important body of

high-quality archaeological information on significant

sites and themes. The RIA library also provides a wide

range of source material including books, periodicals,

pamphlets, manuscripts, paintings, photographs and

maps.

The collection of c. 2,000 manuscripts is the largest cor-

pus of Irish language manuscripts in a single repository,

including the oldest surviving Irish manuscript, the

Cathach, or Psalter, of St Columba, and other important

early texts. The manuscript collections encompass a wide

range of fields including genealogy, history, literature,

hagiography (lives of the saints), early Irish law, natural

history, journals and diaries, society minute books, etc.

The printed book, pamphlet, drawing and map collections

reflect the course of Irish history and endeavour over the

years. The library contains historical depictions of many

of Kildare’s field monuments, some which have been pub-

lished (e.g., by Peter Harbison). The holdings of the

library can be searched online (www.ria.ie).

Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland

The Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland (RSAI) wasfounded in 1849 in Kilkenny “to preserve, examine andillustrate all ancient monuments and memorials of thearts, manners and customs of the past, as connected withthe antiquities, language, literature and history ofIreland”. The Society’s library at 63 Merrion Square,Dublin 2, contains books on Irish history, antiquities andarchaeological and historical journals published inIreland, Great Britain and on the continent. Members areentitled to use the Society’s library which is also open tonon-member researchers on application to the librarian.All users of the library must have a reader’s ticket forwhich there is no charge for members, but non-membersmust pay a small daily charge to use the library.

There is a wide variety of archaeological literature in thelibrary, which also holds a collection of manuscripts, draw-ings and photographs. The Society library currently con-tains over 10,000 volumes on Irish archaeology and histo-ry, including Irish, British and European archaeologicaland historical journals of both national and local archaeo-logical and historical societies. The library also holds col-lections of local histories, family histories, county histo-ries, manuscript texts, Irish Manuscripts Commissiontexts and ecclesiastical histories.

The Society has published the Journal of the Royal Society

of Antiquaries of Ireland (JRSAI) since 1849. There are

four indexes to the journal: vols 1 to 19 (1849-1889),

vols 21-40 (1891-1910), vols. 41-60 (1911-1930), and

vols 61-129 (1931-1999). These can guide researchers to

Kildare-specific material. There is also a card index to the

books and a listing of journals held. The Society intends

to make the library’s holdings available on computer in

the library.

Trinity College Dublin, Centre for Civil Engineering Heritage

The Centre for Civil Engineering Heritage is a research

and consultancy centre within the Department of Civil

and Structural Engineering of Trinity College Dublin. The

centre maintains a National Civil Engineering Heritage

Database currently containing approximately 270 records

of significant historic civil engineering works (HEWs) in

the Republic of Ireland. These structures include bridges

and viaducts, canals and aqueducts, railway infrastruc-

ture, docks, harbours and lighthouses, and water supply

infrastructure. Each record typically contains a very brief

description of the work, together with its principal dimen-

sions. Some structures may include cross-sections and

bibliographic references. Plans and photographs normally

accompany the hard copy version of each record and are

available for inspection by arrangement at the Centre.

Detailed entries are available for the Grand Canal (HEW

No. 3001), the Grand Canal (Barrow Line; HEW. No.

3003), the Kildare Canal (HEW No. 3081), Athy

(Croomaboo) Bridge (HEW. No. 3139), Athy Church Roof

(HEW. No. 3221), Athy Rail Bridge (HEW. No. 3246),

Celbridge Bridge (HEW. No. 3140), the Leinster Aqueduct

(HEW. No. 3096), and the Barrow Rail Bridge

(Monasterevan; HEW No. 3081). Copies of HEW records

are available from the Centre for Civil Engineering

Heritage, currently (2008) priced € 15 Euro per record. A

number of publications of potential industrial heritage

interest are also for sale. A limited amount of HEW

records are also available for consultation at the ENFO

centre.

Trinity College Dublin, Manuscripts andEarly Printed Books

The Manuscripts Department and the Department of

Early Printed Books, Trinity College Dublin are two key

sources of primary research material. The Manuscripts

Department holds medieval documents, largely from the

collection of James Ussher (d. AD 1656), but also includ-

ing a wide range of manuscripts ranging from early

medieval texts such as the Books of Kells (c. 800 AD), the

Book of Durrow (c. 675 AD), the Book of Armagh (c. 807

AD), and the Book of Dimma (8th century AD) to 20th-

century works.

The collections can be searched through the online cata-

logue, and a number of Irish language manuscripts are

available online through the Irish Script of Screen (ISOS)

service (www.isos.dias.ie). There are a number of guides

and catalogues from the earliest Catalogi librorum manu-

the Historical Manuscripts Commission (not complete) and

T.K. Abbott’s comprehensive Catalogue of the manuscripts

in the Library of Trinity College Dublin (Dublin 1900).

More recent catalogues include Marvin L. Colker, Trinity

College Library Dublin: Descriptive Catalogue of the

Medieval and Renaissance Latin Manuscripts was published

in 1991 by the Scholar Press.

In the manuscripts room researchers will find fuller cata-

logues of the older collections including catalogues of

accessions since 1900, a cumulative index of autographs,

and lists and indexes of modern papers, poems, photo-

graphs and music. An appointment for permission to con-

sult the manuscripts should be made in advance with the

Keeper of Manuscripts. Manuscripts and archives are only

brought from storage daily at 10:00 and 11:00, but they

must be specially ordered in advance.

The collections contain historical descriptions of archaeo-

logical monuments (e.g., Carey 1901-1902), contempo-

rary accounts of historical events (e.g., Hunscott 1642,

Bluron 1642, Smith 1642, Wright 1642, Bladen 1643,

Chapman 1647, Williamson 1649, Wolsey 1754,

Alexander 1798, Campbell 1798), indexes to wills and

other documents (e.g., Comerford 1883-1886, Phillimore

1909), thematic works (e.g., Mayo & Boulton 1913) and

proclamations (Sackville 1732, Stanhope 1746, Chetwynd

1821, Wellesley 1824, Howard 1857, 1860, Hamilton

1866). A number of these (e.g., Wolsey 1754, Anon.

1752) are available as online full-text editions viewable in

the library or via the internet, depending on licencing

agreements.

Trinity College Dublin, Map Library

The Map Library is the centre for cartographic materials

in Trinity College Library. It holds over half a million

maps and is the largest collection of printed maps in

Ireland. Other collections of maps are held in Trinity

Library in the Departments of Manuscripts. The Map

Library holds only printed maps. Irish maps include com-

prehensive holdings of Ordnance Survey publications,

and early maps and charts of Ireland including Down

Survey barony maps. The Map Library also maintains a

bibliography of new maps of Ireland, a listing of second-

ary works on Irish map history and lists of early maps of

Ireland dating to before 1630.

Maynooth, Celbridge and Environs, as depicted by William Duncan, 1821.

The Map Library is accessible to members of the general

public as well as professional researchers. Readers from

outside Trinity College should contact the Map Library to

arrange an appointment in advance of their visit, as open-

ing hours are limited and depend on the availability of the

limited staff. A copying service is provided by Map Library

staff for personal callers and operates within the restric-

tions imposed by the Copyright Acts. This allows for the

copying of maps more than seventy years old, and for

copying of Ordnance Survey maps more than fifty years

old. Copying of older material is at the discretion of the

Map Librarian in the interests of the conservation of the

printed resource. Copies are made as A3 extracts. A fee-

based Historical Map Search service is available to busi-

ness customers. A minimum charge applies.

The map catalogue is not available on the web. However,

a number of unpublished cartobibliographies (e.g., by

Paul Ferguson and J.H. Andrews) are available for consul-

tation and can guide the researcher to general maps of

Ireland or parts of Ireland including County Kildare. Maps

specifically of Kildare held in the Map Library of potential

interest to archaeological researchers are provided as

Appendix III.

Valuation Office

The Valuation Office (www.valoff.ie) is the state property

valuation agency, and holds an archive of maps and rate-

able valuation records going back to 1850. This archive

can be useful in tracing the occupation of particular prop-

erties over the years or can be used to locate the home of

particular families if details of the townland or street name

are available. The archives contain the original books and

surveys carried out in the 1840s, books and maps of

Griffith’s Valuations in the 1850s, and documentation

showing the subsequent revisions up to the current posi-

tion. The information for each property typically consists

of the occupier name, townland, street name, description

of property, acreage of holding, its rateable value and ref-

erence to its position on a valuation map.

The archive is also very useful for genealogical research as

it enables the exact position of a house or a property of a

particular family to be traced back to c. 1850. The

Griffiths Valuation and maps are especially important as

no 19th-century census material survives for Ireland. The

Griffith maps are now available to view as scanned images

in the Valuation Office. The archival material can also pro-

vide overviews of towns, as for example this description of

Maynooth from March 1850 by James Montgomery

(Valuation House Book 5.2857, Town of Maynooth):

The town of Maynooth is much better than any of the

others in the Celbridge Union owing to the railway

works and works at the building of the new additions to

the Royal College of St. Patrick for the last four years,

it has been crowded with tradesmen and labourers and

their superintendents. Several of the middle landlords

have in consequence taken advantage of the demand for

lodgings of various descriptions, and have raised the

rent of the houses (mostly weekly) far beyond a fair

rateable value On the other hand the houses held direct-

ly from the duke of Leinster are nearly as much below

their rateable value.

Carton House, as depicted on John Rocque’s map of County Dublin,1760.

The duke of Leinster himself has about thirty small

houses and half a dozen large ones directly in connex-

ion with himself; the remainder of the town belongs to

middle landlords most of whom are of the avaricious

class.

The town is clean and generally the houses are in good

order and built of substantial materials.

As soon as the College buildings are completed, there is

every reason to suppose that the weekly rents must be

brought down, and in anticipation of this I propose that

in setting the value of this town I shall adhere pretty

closely to the estimate I have made of each tenement.

There is no market. There are two fairs of little conse-

quence. There are no tolls charged of any sort.

The poor law valuation of which I have given extensive

extracts is high – much too high on the small houses,

being often as high as full weekly rent – on the whole

however I think of a better valuation than that of

Kilcock or Leixlip and it is not so much complained of

because weekly rents have been pretty well paid in

Maynooth for the last four years in consequence of the

public works that have been in progress.

Local Studies Library, Newbridge, County Kildare

The Local Studies Library holds a wide range of informa-

tion relevant to archaeological research of County Kildare,

including books, maps, articles, local publications and

copies of unpublished reports and theses.

The reference section holds a number of standard texts on

Irish archaeology including Bradley (1988), Butler

(2004), Edwards (1997), Nicholls (2003), O’Croinin

(1995) and Orpen (1911), as well as archaeological publi-

cations focused on the county such as McCarthy (2006);

and Simington (1952). Nolan & McGrath’s (2006) Kildare

History and Society offers an overview of the archaeology

of the county; while O’Donovan’s (1930 and 2002 edi-

tions) Ordnance Survey Letters Kildare provides an excel-

lent introduction to the usefulness and challenges of

orginal source material. The An Foras Forbartha (1976)

and National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH;

2002) surveys present a representative sample of build-

ings of architectural significance in the county. Other use-

ful works include Rawson’s 1807 Statistical Survey of the

County of Kildare, and a range of potentially useful texts

such as the Valuation Office land valuations (e.g., for

Barony of South Salt, Celbridge and Union of Celbridge).

Map holdings include copies of the 1655 barony maps

from the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; the Down Survey

maps 1655-1658; Noble & Keenan 1752; Taylor 1783,

Ordnance Survey maps, valuation survey maps, RMP and

County Development plan maps. The library holds a

range of different Ordnance Survey maps, including 6

inch to one mile, 1:63360, 1:2500, 1:500, and the Town

maps (Athgarvan, Athy, Ballymore Eustace, Castledermot,

Clane, Kilcock, Kilcullen, Kildare, Kill, Leixlip,

Maynooth, Monasterevin, Newbridge, Rathangan,

Sallins).

The library retains a wide selection of local publications

including books treating various aspects of Kildare’s

archaeological heritage (e.g., Colgan 2005, Geissel 2006),

and local journals such as the Journal of the Counbty

Kildare Archaeological Society (JCKAS, see Appendix II),

Balyna, which contains short articles on standing archae-

ological monuments such as Grange Castle (Mulvihill

1996, Anon. 2002); burial grounds (Rafferty 1992, 1999);

lead mines (Kelly 2001); and findings from recent archae-

ological excavations (Clarke 2002); and Oughterany: the

Journal of the Donadea Local History Group. The Journal of

the County Kildare Archaeological Society will be availabe

on searchable DVD from 2009. A wide range of unpub-

lished works are also available including theses (e.g.,

Costello 1995), and archaeological excavation reports

(e.g., Dennehy 2004 and 2005; Dineen 2003 and 2004;

Harte & Richardson 2006; Jordan 2005; and Leigh 2003).

There are also ten bound History of Kildare volumes con-

taining copies local publications, newpapers articles and

papers from journals.

containing 2039 entries.

Kildare Heritage Office

The Heritage Office is committed to providing high qual-

ity advice on all matters relating to heritage issues; it com-

missions specialist studies and reports, and is a most use-

ful point of contact for assistance with archaeological

research in the county. The aims and objectives of the

Heritage Office are provided in the County Kildare

Heritage Plan. The Heritage Plan and up-to-date informa-

tion on the resources and activities of the Heritage Office

can be found on the Kildare County Council website. The

Heritage Office has recently commissioned two archaeo-

logical studies, the Artefact Study and the Industrial

Heritage Study. The Kildare Heritage website is: http:// kil-

dare.ie/CountyCouncil/Heritage/index.html.

Artefact Study: The project consists of the development of

a database of all artefacts relevant to County Kildare held

in the National Museum of Ireland (NMI). The collection

comprises 2318 artefacts, of which 126 were bog finds and

178 were finds from rivers.The artefacts include animal

and human remains, rock art, pottery, stone tools,

weapons (arrowheads, javelin heads, axe heads, maces,

swords, daggers and musketballs), sculpture, decorative

elements (lunalae, bracelets, brooches, beads, pins and

rings), agricultural implements (e.g., a flax scutch, querns

and a yoke), fishing implements (e.g., an eel spear), eccle-

siastical artefacts (bells, croziers, crucifixes, reliquaries),

clothing (a cloak, buckles, buttons) and personal items

(shoes, clay pipes, and a harp).

Industrial Archaeology Study: The aim of the project was to

study the industrial heritage of County Kildare. It consists of a

desktop study of industrial sites, an assessment of the condition of

industrial archives, the compilation of an industrial heritage data-

base and a summary of key issues.

The County Kildare Hedgerow Survey 2006, prepared

under the Heritage Plan, provides the extent, age, planting

date, construction, species composition and species diver-

sity of hedgerows in the county.

Previous projects commissioned by the Heritage Office

under the Heritage Plan include a Survey of Thatched

Houses in County Kildare (Duggan 2006), a Study on the

Reuse and Modification of Farmhouses and Associated Farm

Buildings (Bowen & Matthews 2007), a study on the

Geology of Kildare, and an Audit of Museums in Kildare.

Graveyard conservation plans have also been completed

for graveyards at Tipper, Donaghcumpher, Passlands,

Garganstown and Great Connell.

Local societies and publications

There are many heritage groups and individuals in the

county who publish books, journals and booklets focus-

ing on particular aspects of the archaeology and history of

Kildare. Most notable of these is the County Kildare

Archaeological Society which has published its journal

since 1891 (see section below).

Other journals include Balyna and Oughterany: the Journal

of the Donadea Local History Group. Articles on sites in

Kildare have also appeared in journals from adjacent

counties such as Carloviana – the Journal of the Old Carlow

Society and Wicklow Archaeology & History as well as in

the national journals including the Proceedings of the

Royal Irish Academy (PRIA), the Journal of the Royal

Society of Antiquaries of Ireland (JRSAI), and the Journal of

Irish Archaeology.

There are also a number of other groups and individuals

who have published works on specific buildings, topics or

areas. A significant amount of these have been published

privately by the author or group and may be out of print

and difficult to obtain. For these works, a note on where

While the level of detail and research may vary widely,

these works often address previously unconsidered

aspects of local archaeological heritage. Some of the works

are thematic (e.g., Donohue 1998 on the 1798 rebellion,

Kelly 1973 on selected tombstone inscriptions), site-spe-

cific (e.g., Hayden 1979 and Patterson 1982 on Kildare

Cathedral; Ryan 1958 on Monasterevan; De Bhaldraithe

1987 on high crosses at Moone and Castledermot; and

Coy & McCarthy 1998 on the history of Naas hospital as

part of the Naas Local History Group), or focused on a

particular family or personal interest (e.g., Dunlop 1970

on the La Touche family).

County Kildare Archaeological Society

The County Kildare Archaeological Society (www.kil-

darearchsoc.ie) has produced the Journal of the County

Kildare Archaeological Society and Surrounding Districts

(JCKAS) since 1891, providing detailed information on

aspects of Kildare’s archaeological heritage. The journal

provides perhaps the most comprehensive account of the

archaeology of the county currently available. A listing of

the contents of the journal is provided in Appendix II.

British and Irish ArchaeologicalBibliography (BIAB)

The BIAB (www.biab.ac.uk) provides information about

articles and books on the archaeology of Britain and

Ireland; it has over 200,000 references and is updated

twice each year. The BIAB focuses primarily on archaeo-

logical publications but also includes more general litera-

ture on monument conservation, heritage management,

public and political aspects of archaeology, and the sci-

ences as applied to archaeology. Coverage ranges from the

paleolithic to the 20th century but should not be consid-

ered comprehensive.

British Library

The British Library (www.bl.ac.uk) is an underused

resource for the consideration of Ireland’s archaeological

heritage. The library has an important collection of maps

of County Kildare, some of which are not found in

Ireland. The library holds copies of Ordnance Survey

mapping of the county including townland surveys, and

Ordnance plans of the towns of Athy, Celbridge, Kildare,

Maynooth, Naas and Newbridge at 1:500 scale. However,

these maps are obtainable in Ireland through the

Ordnance Survey, the National Archives, commercial map

centres, and increasingly through the public library sys-

tem. The greatest cartographic value of the British Library

is found in much earlier maps of the county, and copies of

privately commissioned maps of certain parts of the coun-

ty. These include Bernard Scalé’s 1769 survey of Carton

Demense, Henry Walker’s 1807 map of the Race Courses

and associated buildings of the Curragh undertaken for

the Duke of Leinster and Basire’s 1814 maps of the bog-

lands of Kildare. Of particular interest are a series of nine

maps from 1655 reproduced from the originals held in the

Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris at a scale of 80 to

160 perches to an inch and including the baronies of

Kilcullin, Carbury, Claine Great Connel Kilcah, Norrogh

& Rabane, Ikeathy & Oughterany, Naas and Salt.

Historical newspapers

Newspapers of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries often

provide useful information of contemporary events, as

well as changes to archaeological sites and monuments. A

wide variety of newspapers survive, including “newspa-

pers of record” such as The Times and The Irish Times, as

well as local newspapers with relatively short runs. These

include the Curragh News (Feb 7, 1891–Sept 26, 1891),

the Kildare and Wicklow Chronicle published in Athy (Feb

17–Mar 3, 1849), and the Kildare Observer published in

Naas (April 1879–Oct 23 1935). All of these are available

in the National Library of Ireland. Historical newspapers

can also be consulted in the Local Studies Library in

Newbridge.

The Irish Times (www.ireland.com) has recently made its

archival material available both as digital images (from

1859 onwards) and text data (from 1996 onwards) on a

fee-paying basis. Researchers can search by keyword or

browse by date, and the resource is useful for noting

changs to standing archaeological monuments and new

discoveries. Irish Newspapers Archives Ltd. (www.irish-

newspaperarchives.com) offer a similar fee-paying service

for access to the Freeman’s Journal, and the Irish

Independent and other Irish newspapers. The National

Library of Ireland holds hard copies and microfilm copies

of Irish newspapers, while Trinity College Library has

access to online copies of The Times, and the Irish

Newspapers Archives website.

Discovery Programme

The Discovery Programme (www.discoveryprogramme

.ie) is an archaeological research institution dedicated to

investigating Ireland’s past from earliest times and pre-

senting the results to as wide an audience as possible. The

Discovery Programme is not a library or repository but

undertakes thematic research projects, a number of which

include the archaeology of County Kildare. The results are

published in print form as books, papers and articles, and

also published online. In particular, studies on

Agricultural Technology in Ireland, c. 500-1650AD, The

Medieval Rural Settlement Project and Barrow Valley

Project may be of interest to researchers of the archaeolo-

gy of County Kildare. The Barrow Valley Project in partic-

ular considers the catchment area of the River Barrow,

including almost two thousand prehistoric monuments

ranging from the Mesolithic to the Iron Age.

Irish History Online

Irish History Online (IHO; www.irishhistoryonline.ie) is a

continually updated online guide to what has been writ-

ten about Irish history from earliest times to the present.

It was established in association with the Royal Historical

Society Bibliography of British and Irish History (of which

it is now the Irish component) and London’s Past Online,

and is funded under the Irish Research Council for the

Humanities and Social Sciences Government of Ireland

Project Grants scheme. Since the most recent update

(February 2007), IHO contains over 59,000 items, drawn

from writings on Irish history from 1936 to 2002, plus all

the Irish material currently held in the online Royal

Historical Society Bibliography. The latter is less compre-

hensive, but covers a longer period of publications up to

the most recent. Listed are articles from journals, includ-

ing local history journals, and collected volumes. Searches

can be made by author, by subject, by publication details,

or by time period.

Miscellaneous sources outside the state

It should be noted that primary archaeological material is

also to be found in other libraries and repostitories outside

the state. However, these tend to be isolated holdings of

value only for very specific research purposes. For exam-

ple, York University hold a letter from George Lowther c.

1778 written in French and enclosing a map of Kildare,

drawn by himself (Ref. HALIFAX/A1/1/4). Selected estate

maps are also available from Cambridge University Library

online catalogues such as PROCAT of the National

Archives of the United Kingdom (www.nationalarchives.

gov.uk), and the British and Irish Archaeological

Bibliography (www.biab.ac.uk). However, the institutions

would have to be contacted directly to enquire about

accessibility and the potential for reproduction. Another

potential source of archaeologically useful information are

the House of Commons Parliamentary Papers (parlipa-

pers.chadiwyck.co.uk) consisting of sessional papers from

1715 to the present with full text, imaging and search

capabilities. The resource is only available to governmen-

tal, university and other higher education institutions as

well as public and specialist libraries.

National Archives of the United Kingdom,Kew, Surrey, England

The National Archives of the United Kingdom

(www.nationalarchives.gov.uk) was formed in 2003 by the

amalgamation of the Public Record Office and the

Historical Manuscripts Commission. The collections com-

prise the records of central government and the courts of

law from the 11th century to the present day. The

National Archives also maintain a National Register of

Archives and a Manorial Documents Register covering

material held outside the United Kingdom. The collection

of the archive currently contains over ten million descrip-

tions of documents, including records on history,

medieval taxation, and genealogical studies. Records rele-

vant to County Kildare held in the archive include

Architectural Drawings, records relating to the

Dissolution of the Monasteries, maps, Royal Irish

Constabulary Records, and the State Papers of Ireland

(1509-1762). The extensive collections are searchable

through the online catalogues, and many historical docu-

ments are available online both as images and as tran-

scriptions. The National Archives are useful for a wide

range of materials including:

• Primary Historical Source Material such as robberies in

Castledermot c.1307–1322 (online document SC

8/68/3398), petitions to the king regarding land own-

ership in Athy c. 1319–1321 and Maynooth c. 1332

(online document SC 8/68/3390), parish records and

registers for Athy from the 17th–19th centuries etc.

• Former War Department holdings such as the Curragh

Camp have extensive documentation including text,

maps and plans from c. 1764–1921 that is not available

within the state.

• Maps including Townland Surveys, Ordnance Survey

and military maps and plans. These can include anno-

tated OS maps showing land purchases and proposed

developments (e.g., MPHH 1/462/40-41 are copies of

1st edition OS maps coloured and annotated to show

land acquired by the War Department in Kildare, west

of the Curragh).

National Inventory of Architectural Heritage

The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH)

is a section within the Department of the Environment,

Heritage and Local Government involved in identifying

and recording the architectural heritage of Ireland, from

approximately 1700 to the present day. Many of these

buildings may also be archaeological monuments, or may

incorporate early buildings of archaeological interest

within their fabric. The NIAH undertake and commission

surveys, often in association with local authorities of par-

ticular areas, with print publication of the most significant

buildings of an area. The NIAH survey for Kildare has

been completed, with the results published by the NIAH

and available online (www.buildingsofireland.ie). The

website also has online thematic resources of national

interest, such as historic gardens and designed landscapes

(demesnes), and contains links to online information

resources on architectural heritage and building conserva-

tion. Building types of potential archaeological interest are

castles, fortified houses, churches and a wide range of

other structures including those of industrial archaeolog-

ical interest such as the windmill at Johnstown Bridge (c.

1714) and at Ballystrig (c. 1770).

Royal Historical Society Bibliography

The Royal Historical Society bibliography (www.rhs.ac.uk

/bibl) is an online guide to what has been written about

British and Irish history from the Roman period to the

present day. The bibligraphy is a very useful source for

searching for references to little known works on aspects

of local history. The bibliography contains over 427,000

references, and is updated three times a year. The informa-

tion is very well sorted and easily accessible and under-

standable, and is free to all users. The guide also includes

the contents of the Irish History Online web-source. The

bibliography is hosted by the Institute of Historical

Research, part of the University of London.

Semi-state bodies

A number of semi-state bodies and private companies

including the Irish Concrete Federation (ICF), Coillte,

Irish Rail, Bord Gáis and Bord na Móna either employ an

archaeologist or other heritage professional, or commis-

sion an archaeological consultant or consultancy compa-

ny to prepare Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) and

other reports and work requiring archaeological informa-

tion. Semi-state bodies do not normally act as repositories,

but do produce archaeological information which may be

available through the planning process as published work,

or directly from the body itself. Official Codes of Practice

have been published by the Department of Environment,

Heritage and Local Government (available to download at

www.archaeology.ie) with the Railway Procurement

Agency, Coillte, Bord Gáis, ESB, the Irish Concrete

Federation and the National Roads Authority (see entry

for the NRA in Part 4).

The Irish Concrete Federation (ICF) prepares EIS reports

(e.g., at Ballyburn Upper, Ballyraggan and Graney West),

and geophysical investigations (e.g., at Gotham), archaeo-

logical monitoring (e.g., at Halverstown, Kilglass,

Kilrathmurray and Newtown Great) and excavation (e.g.,

at Ballysax Hills, Brownstown, and Dowdenstown), but

does not act as a repository as all archaeological works are

accessible through the planning system. Irish Rail(www.iarnrodeireann.ie) is responsible for the protection

and conservation of its Protected Structures, artefacts and

installations which may be of industrial archaeological

interest. There is not a currently accessible archive, and

railway heritage information is published through estab-

lished forums such as the Journal of the Irish Railway

Record Society and several specially commissioned publi-

cations. Bord na Móna employs an archaeological consul-

tancy company to carry out archaeological work on its

bogs, and has made a limited number of its excavations

(currently none from Kildare) available online

(www.bnm.ie). Bord Gáis (www.bordgais.ie) also employs

archaeological consultants to monitor and excavate in

advance of gas pipelines, and the archaeological reports

are deposited with the DoEHLG and the National

TARA is an open access repository of the scientific and

scholarly publications of Trinity College Dublin, where

the full text of research work is deposited and made freely

available. The resources include scholarly publications,

theses and dissertations, and digital image collections.

The digital image collections include both new photo-

graphs of archaeological monuments as well as copies of

historic works such as the TRIARC Crookshank-Glin

Digital Image Collection copy of paintings of Castletown

House, County Kildare by George Barrett

(1728/1732–1784), and Carton House by William

Ashford (1746–1824). The repository also contains digi-

tal editions of historical texts relevant to the study of

UCD, Early Medieval Archaeology Project(EMAP)

The Early Medieval Archaeology Project (EMAP) was

established in UCD School of Archaeology (www.ucd.ie/

archaeology/research/researcha-z/emap/) to promote the

analysis and publication of the extraordinary range of new

archaeological evidence recently uncovered by “Celtic

Tiger” infrastructural development (NRA road schemes,

Bord Gáis pipelines, housing construction, etc) including

findings from County Kildare. EMAP’s objective is to

enable scholars to access emerging archaeological data

and thus to create new understandings of the landscapes,

environments, technologies and social identities of the

peoples of Ireland, AD 400-1100.

The EMAP report (O’Sullivan & Harney 2008) has chap-

ters on the EMAP database, the character of early

medieval excavations in Ireland 1970-2002, early

medieval dwellings, settlements and landscapes, the early

medieval church, early medieval burials and cemeteries,

early medieval agriculture and economy, early medieval

crafts and technology (focusing on ironworking), and

early medieval trade and exchange (focusing on pottery).

The appendices include excavated sites and associated

licences, early medieval ringforts, unenclosed settlements

and ecclesiastical sites, settlement/cemetery sites, excavat-

ed early medieval buildings, cemetery and burial sites and

an extensive bibliography.

EMAP intends to make key early medieval site excava-

tions available through an online digital archive/website

as a resource. The project will also publish a series of

books and articles and will also organise, edit and publish

thematic conferences on the subjects of Early Medieval

Settlement and Landscape; Early Medieval Environment,

Agriculture and Economy; Early Medieval Crafts,

Technology and Material Culture and Early Medieval

Populations in Life and Death.

Introduction

The references provided below are not intended as an

exhaustive bibliography for the county. Instead the bibli-

ography should be considered as a starting point that pro-

vides general information on Irish archaeology and iden-

tifies key works relevant to County Kildare.

The references are divided into three sections – unpub-

lished works, published works, and academic theses.

Published works also include privately published works,

normally dealing with specific aspects of Kildare’s heritage

(e.g., Colgan 2005), that may not have an ISBN number

(International Standard Book Number – the international

standard ISO 2108 for identifying a book) and may have

had a limited distribution. These are not widely available,

and while the Kildare County Local Studies Library, the

National Library of Ireland and Trinity College Library

retain copies of most of these, they may not be available

elsewhere. Limited numbers of these publications are

sometimes available through local shops, local societies

and from the authors themselves.

Researchers may also encounter references in some works

to archaeological excavation reports or academic theses.

These are essentially unpublished works and are not easi-

ly accessible. Researchers of excavation reports are direct-

ed to Excavations Bulletin in its various forms or the

searchable online database (www.excavations.ie) which

provide summary accounts of archaeological excavations

in Ireland. The full excavation reports are normally only

available through the report author, but may sometimes

be consulted through the Archives Unit of the

Archaeological Survey of Ireland (DoEHLG), or through

the Kildare County Council planning department if relat-

ed to a planning application.

Academic theses relevant to the heritage of County

Kildare may be found in the National Universities of

Ireland at Maynooth and Dublin, Trinity College Dublin,

and other third level institutions. As access to academic

works differs between the institutions, researchers are

directed to enquire to the online library catalogues of

these libraries and the relevant academic departments or

schools in the first instance. The entries below are pre-

sented in terms of published works and unpublished

works; where possible the full names of the authors are

given.
