The area around Kildare town became renowned when St Brigid founded a church here in 480AD. A monastery soon developed on this site dedicated to St Brigid. The surrounding area prospered from the wealth of the monastery. This was noticed by the Vikings who raided Kildare fifteen times from the year 835AD.
