Abstract

This paper is an account and analysis of the results of an interdisciplinary project on the medieval period in part of north-east county Kildare. Field survey revealed relic features of open-field agriculture which were identified by comparison with English evidence and were of a form hitherto unnoticed in Ireland. Medieval settlement remains in the area, a borough site, a church, a moated site, a building platform and a tower house, are described and discussed. Documentary evidence is used to outline the development of the area through the Middle Ages. A report on a preliminary phosphate analysis is appended.
