National Monuments Service record for KD022-029058

According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 216-7), the curvilinear course of some of Kildare town’s streets possibly reflects the lines of early monastic enclosures. Their interpretation sees the line of a possible enclosure reflected in the curve of Nugent St., off Market Sq., which continues as a visible cropmark on an aerial photograph to the N of the cathedral (KD022-029005-), while the S-limits of the enclosure might have been formed by the present Claregate St. An outer enclosure line is suggested by the curving course of Priest’s Lane, Academy St., St. Brigid’s Square and Convent Rd., while the outline of the graveyard (KD022-029003-) may reflect a third, innermost enclosure.
