According to Orpen (1909, 321), a manorial extent of 1247 mentions 'a "bretage" at the manor of Palmerstown, near Kilkenny'. Orpen equates the term bretage with a motte and bailey. There is no evidence of a motte or motte and bailey in Palmertown townland. The precise location of this possible monument is unknown.
