  • Performance, Place and Power at Dún Ailinne, a Ceremonial Site of the Irish Iron Age
    Performance, place and power at Dún Ailinne, a ceremonial site of the Irish Iron Age Susan A. Johnston, Pam J. Crabtree and Douglas V. Campana Abstract Dún Ailinne is one of the major ceremonial sites of the Irish Iron Age (600 BCE–CE 400), a time when society was becoming increasingly centralized. We argue that these sites were a focus for the process of centralization, facilitated by performance though the site’s construction and use. Physical movement in the context of ritual has been shown to affect the perception of social relationships. These would have been experienced through performance, including movement through the landscape, the visual dominance of the hill and the site located on it, the hierarchical arrangement of spaces within the bank and ditch, and the resulting ways in which movement and access are gradually more constrained through time. Experienced through the medium of ritual performance, these various aspects would have reinforced ideas of power and elite status, providing a context in which such constraints could have been created, justified, maintained and perhaps resisted. Keywords Performance; Irish archaeology; royal sites; archaeology of ritual; Dún Ailinne; Irish Iron Age. The idea of performance has been of increasing interest to archaeologists in recent years. As an Downloaded by [Susan Johnston] at 11:14 13 March 2014 outgrowth of approaches to culture and society which emphasize agency (e.g. Bourdieu 1977; Dobres and Robb 2000), it is a natural progression to consider how public action was involved in maintaining and manipulating past societies. Performance in this sense implies a conscious awareness of the actions of an individual or individuals by others, and is particularly relevant to the analysis of political systems.

Indeed the poem reads like an amplification of Oengus' lines in the Prologue to his Fèlire: Borg Ailinne uallach atbath lia slòg mbdgach: is mòr Brigit huadach, is càin a rruam ddlachA 'Alenn's proud citadel has perished with its warlike host: great is victorious Brigit, fair is her multitudinous cemetery.' The hiU of Alenn,2 now called Knockawlin,3 is situated in the county of Kildare, not far from Old Kilcullen, and still contains vestiges of what was the largest fort in Ire- land after Emain Macha. It has often been described.-* 1 See The Martyrology of Oengus, ed. by Wh. Stokes, 1905, p. 25. ^ This is the oldest form of the name, a feminine a-stem, making its genitive Alinne and its dative and accusative Alinn.

  • Press Statement New Barrow Water Supply for Kildare
    Press Statement New Barrow Water Supply for Kildare Kildare County Council is pleased to announce that the new Barrow water supply will come into production with effect from mid-July 2013. This project has been at planning and construction for many years, the Water Abstraction Order having been formally made back in 2005. The final out-turn costs of the abstraction plant as well as the two associated pipeline contracts are likely to be in the region of €45m. Certainly, this is a major economic boost for the south of the county particularly in terms of economic activity and associated job creation. When fully operational, and allowing for future growth in demand, it is expected that production at the plant will be 31 million litres per day (i.e. 31 megalitres), 7 of which are earmarked for Athy to be distributed through the new Ardscull reservoir, while the remainder will be pumped to the Old Kilcullen Reservoir in order to provide a new water supply to the central parts of County Kildare. The new Barrow supply is indeed very timely in light of serious constraints which are now emerging in the Greater Dublin Area. Currently demand and supply is very finely balanced resulting in the risk of shortages during prolonged dry spells or in the case of production difficulties as recently experienced with the Vartry Scheme. Imminent upgrades in relation to both the Ballymore Eustace and Leixlip plants will boost regional production and this will relieve some of the pressure in the short-term. However, in light of increased demand, mainly arising from population growth, these pressures are likely to continue until a new major regional source comes on stream in 2021/22.

  • Naas Local History Group
    Hidden gems and Forgotten People NAAS LOCAL HISTORY GROUP ST. PATRICK’S WELL, KILLASHEE Just south of Naas, off the old Kilcullen road, is the town land of Killashee. These days it is probably best known for the luxury Killashee House Hotel (formerly a prestigious boarding school) but it is also the site of a much older ecclesiastical foundation dating from the earliest Christian times. The foundation here was reputedly set up by Saint Patrick himself when he visited the area and when he departed, he left his nephew, Auxilius, in charge. It is from this individual (referred to as Saint Auxilius) that the place takes its name – Kill Auxille or Killossy. The foundation would seem to have flourished, even after Auxilius’ death, and the names of two further Abbots of Killashee are known from the annals. By the ninth century however, the foundation – like other religious sites in Ireland – became subject to the depredations of Viking marauders and there is an account of its destruction in 824 and, indeed, again in 1035. Today, all that remains on the site is the shell of a church of Ireland church (closed in 1965) which may contain some elements of an earlier medieval church and having an intriguing ‘Round Tower’ attached to its west end, a surrounding ancient graveyard and a nearby ‘Holy Well’ dedicated to St Patrick. In line with this dedication, there is a long tradition of having a procession to the well on St Patrick’s Day, 17th March. This long tradition, which had ceased in recent years, has now been revived by the parish of Two-mile-house, which has now been amalgamated with the parish of Naas.
