Place & story
Nearby boundaries at Punchestown Great
At nearby Punchestown Great, a 2023 investigation identified ditched boundaries angled about thirty-five to forty-five degrees away from the present field system. Antoine Giacometti’s report interpreted them as possible remains of a seventeenth-century estate landscape. No house or castle fabric survived above ground at the site. The nearby standing stone lay in a separate field southwest of the proposed development, distinguishing that monument from the investigated estate traces. [2]
