Earthwork in Kilteel Lower

On a slight SW-facing slope, in meadow, overlooking the Kilteel complex (KD020-006----, KD020-006001-, KD020-006002- and KD020-007002- to KD020-007012-) across the road to the SE. Visible on aerial photos taken in 1963 (CUCAP AIG064) and 1966 (CUCAP APA056 and API002) and indicated on Manning's interpretative tracing of same included in his Kilteel Church (KD020-007002-) excavation report (1982, 219). Visible as a broad, low, earthen bank (Wth 9-11m; H 0.2-0.3m; traceable L c. 46m NE-SW), with no obvious trace of an associated fosse. May be associated with the preceptory earthworks (KD020-007003-), or, is possibly a continuation of the Pale Boundary (KD020-008----) which runs S and then W to the S of this site.
