What is recorded here

Knockaunteemeade is a trapezoidal enclosure west of a Kilkenny road, mapped in 1839 and still visible beneath trees and scrub. It points toward two larger enclosures and a mineral spa well, suggesting a busy landscape where people gathered, marked bounds and used the land for living. The name resists easy explanation, but the shape remains clear: a narrow southern edge, a broader northern front, and a scarp line that still holds its form.

Immediately W of a public road. Named 'Knockaunteemeade' and indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 1900 revision as a trapezoidal area (diam. c. 56m N-S. c. 31m E-W at the N, tapering to c. 12m at S) defined by scarp. Visible on Digitalglobe satellite imagery (viewed 9 November 2020) as being overgrown with trees and scrub. There is a large enclosure (KK020-004----) c. 200m to the NE and another one (KK020-006----) c. 300m to the ENE. A mineral spa well is indicated on the OS maps c. 75m to the SW.
