The National Monuments Service's description
The Borough of Dunleckny was established before 1207 and appears to have been abandoned in the fourteenth century (Bradley and King 1989, 20). Present remains consist of a large oval mound (CW016-085001-) and church (CW016-085002-) which was granted to the nunnery of Graney in Kildare in 1207.
