- CL017-082: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL017-082----. Just E off the summit a low hill, in pasture. Recorded as a large circular enclosure on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map, and similarly hachured and named ‘Caheroisin’ on the later OS 25-inch plan (1897) and on the Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. The name was spelt ‘Caheraoisin’ by Westropp (1896, 369) who recorded that this ‘fort’ was defined by an enclosing element of earth and stones and had ‘gates’ at the E and the W. The upstanding remains of this poorly preserved enclosure only survive from NE-SE-SW where the original enclosing element has been incorporated into a later field boundary. When inspected in 1999, this comprised a drystone wall (Wth 0.5m; int. H 0.5-1m; ext. H 1m) and hedge. A short stretch of original outer wall-face (H 1m) survived at S and there was a moss-covered stony bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.4m) between SE and S. The perimeter in this area (SE-S-SW) was overlain with scrub-covered spoil and a gap (Wth. 4m) at S was blocked with overgrowth and timber debris. The levelled remains of a bank were visible from SSW-W-N and there was a slight scarp between N and NE. Westropp (ibid.) also observed an old road leading to the W entrance. A track is marked on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map and on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) running NW from the WNW edge of the enclosure. The track’s remains are faintly visible in satellite imagery (MapGenie Imagery 2013-2018). The enclosure’s interior is generally level, except for the N sector which slopes down to the N. The full circuit of the monument is visible on Google Earth aerial imagery (14-9-2009) where the line of the levelled enclosing element is preserved as a low scarp running from SSE-W-NE.

- CL017-084001: Bawn, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL017-084001-. On a slight rise in level rough pasture. Indicated on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Listed at ‘Earthwork’ in the RMP (1996). Enclosing Ballyportry Castle (CL017-084002-). Described by Ua Cróinín and Breen (1997) as a narrow 17th-century bawn (20m NE-SW; 12m NW-SE) defined by stone walls (extant H c. 2.5m) containing fourteen keyhole gun-loops in embrasures (including an angle loop in the S corner), spaced roughly evenly along the walls. The original gate was on the NE side but a modern gate has been inserted in the SE side. There are circular corner bastions (diam. c. 4m) on the W and E corners, each having four small, narrow loop embrasures. The E bastion has been turned into a conservatory with a glass roof. Immediately to the S of the bawn is an enclosure (CL017-084003-) which may have been associated with the tower house and bawn. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 14-10-2025
- CL017-084002: Castle - tower house, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL017-084002-. Surrounded by a very small 17th-century bawn (CL017-084001-) on a slight rise in level rough pasture, with a possibly associated enclosure (CL017-084003-) immediately to the SW of the bawn, and the remains of a possible cashel (CL017-084004-) just beyond this to the SW. Drawn and named ‘Ballyportry Castle (in ruins)’ and ‘Tower’ on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map but with the label ‘Tower’ omitted from the later OS 25-inch plan (1897) and Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. According to Ua Cróinín and Breen (1994, 24), this tower house was probably built in the late 15th or early 16th century by the O’Briens of Leamaneh, with the earliest historical mention possibly being a reference to the death in 1570 of Toirleach son of Donnchadh O’Brien of Ballyportry (ibid.). The tower house was described as ‘almost entire’ in 1580, when it was inhabited by Mathún son of Brian O’Brien (ibid.). After inheriting Ballyportry Castle in 1639, Conor O’Brien of Leamaneh and Máire Rua Ní Mhathúna let it to John Brickdall. Following the Cromwellian invasion (1649-1653) the castle was given to English parliamentarian Benjamin Lucas, but in 1663 it was returned to Conor and Máire’s son Donough (Sir Donat) O’Brien. He may have carried out repairs, as a letter of his in 1697 mentions ‘timber to be purchased for Ballyportry and Lemenagh’ (ibid.). In 1728 the castle was mortgaged to an Englishman, Richard Hull, after whose death in 1775, it passed to Edmond Sexton Pery, speaker of the Irish House of Commons. It appears the castle was still inhabited in 1808 (ibid.). The OS Letters of 1839 described the castle (also named ‘Ballycortrea’ and ‘Baile Puirt Riag’) as with walls that were ‘entire still and afford shelter to a poor family’ (Comber 1997, 16). By 1899 the castle was only occasionally occupied by ‘travelling tinkers’ (Westropp 1899-1901, 361). The castle was rennovated in the 1960s, subsequently changed hands and is currently let to holidaymakers. This rectangular tower house (c. 14m NE-SW; c. 8m NW-SE; H c. 21m; H to top of chimney stack c. 24m) comprises a ‘services tower’ (of five levels) on the NE, conjoined with a ‘living tower’ (of four and half levels) on the SW. The services tower appears to have been built first: the tower house was built originally without garderobes (with slop-stones in the services tower used instead) or fireplaces - all of which were inserted later. The pointed arched entrance doorway with yett is located at the centre of the NE gable wall and appears to have been reset during the 1960s renovations. The doorway is protected by a single machicoulis at the top of the tower (i.e., at wall-walk level), a shot-hole on either side of the doorway (Ua Cróinín and Breen 1997), and a murder-hole in the lobby ceiling just inside. Entering the building, there is a guardroom/porter’s lodge (2.3m NE-SW; 1.8m NW-SE) on the right (NW), with a cupboard in the W corner. The room was lit by a loop in the NE gable wall which has been reduced in modern times to a small square window, and has a stone-vaulted ceiling (ibid.). Opposite this room is a circular stairwell (diam. c. 2.2m) in the E corner of the tower house, with a small storage space (L 1.5m; Wth 1m) underneath—probably a modern insertion (ibid.). The main ground-floor room (8.5m NE-SW; 4.6m NW-SE) is now a kitchen. In the NW wall is a large 17th-century fireplace which is a modern insertion blocking an original light in the NW wall. There are two alcoves apiece in the W and S angles of the room, and non-original rectangular three-light windows which have been inserted in both the SW and SE walls may have replaced an original pair of long narrow loopholes (ibid.). A slop-stone (blocked on the exterior) is visible in the SE wall, near the E corner of this room. Corbels on the NW and SE walls support the floor of a loft/gallery under the room’s high pointed stone vaulted ceiling, orientated NE-SW (ibid.). A lintelled doorway leads off the spiral stairs to the loft, several steps above which a pointed doorway leads to the room commanding the murder-hole. There is a small light in the NW wall of this room, and a round-headed light in the NE wall, both with spudstones; there is also a slop-stone on the NE wall. The room is floored with oak planks resting on wall plates on stone corbels (ibid.). A pointed doorway leads from the spiral stairs to the first floor, past a modern bathroom at the NE end which is separated from the main room by a non-original wall. The main bedroom is on this floor with a stone bath set in an enlarged embrasure in the SE wall. A pair of triple-light windows in the SW and SE walls and a stone fireplace in the NW wall probably replaced loopholes. There are four corbels in this wall to support the ceiling. At the S end of the SE wall and E end of the SW wall there are wall paintings including a depiction of St. Sebastian (Morton 2004, 342; 2006, 63-4). There are two cupboards in each corner of the SW wall. The second floor is also accessed through a pointed doorway from the spiral stairs, leading to a room which now serves as a kitchenette. There is an ogee-headed window in the NW wall and a round-headed window in the NE wall. The wooden ceiling is supported on corbels. An inserted pointed doorway in the room’s SW wall leads to a large chamber with a triple-light ogee-headed window in the SE and SW walls. The round-headed embrasure for the SE window has mason’s marks (small carved triangles on the vousoirs and a cross on the keystone). There is a narrow loop in the centre of the NW wall, beside an inserted 17th-century fireplace. In the E corner of the hall is an elaborate slop-stone. The chamber is covered by a pointed stone vault, with a stone arch (Wth 1.6m) against the NE wall to support a garderobe chamber above. The upper part of the hall’s SW wall corbels in, creating vaulting over the SW end (L c. 3m) of the hall and leaving a space (L 2m; Wth 0.8m) for a mural passage accessed by a small rectangular opening which presumably can only be reached by a ladder from the floor of the hall. The door rebate is on the hall side of the opening, leading to the suggestion that the mural passage was a lock-up chamber for prisoners (Ua Cróinín and Breen 1997; Ben Murtagh, pers. comm.). There is an ogee-headed light in the SW wall of this passage, opposite the opening. The passage may continue into the NW wall, but probably it ran only within the SW wall (Ua Cróinín and Breen 1997). The spiral stairs lead up to a lintelled doorway opening into a garderobe passage, which has small windows in the NW and NE walls and is now fitted with a stone bath beside a loop embrasure in the SE wall. The passage has a modern wickerwork barrel-vaulted ceiling. The garderobe shaft (at the N centre of the NW wall) is now closed up but there is a curious shelf- or serving hatch-like feature in the NW wall of this room, consisting of two corbels at waist height with a rectangular opening above. The third floor’s main chamber is under a very fine oak-timbered roof. Springing from the NW and SE walls toward the SW end is a high semi-circular arch which supports an additional level above. The arch also supports a vault leaning from the SW wall. There are two cupboards and an angle loop apiece in the hall’s S and W corners. There are two narrow loops in the SE wall with a double-light window between. In the SW and NW walls is a loop in a splayed embrasure; that in the NW wall beside a large lintelled and hooded fireplace. At the NE end and overlooking the chamber is a wooden gallery supported on stone corbels; this gallery is accessed through a doorway from the spiral stairs. These stairs continue up to the roof-rafters and through a small doorway on the NE gable-wall, onto the wall-walk which accesses the machicoulis over the entrance doorway at NE. The parapet has been restored with stepped crenellations. The structure is roofed with large Killaloe slates and a large modern chimney on the NW side rises well over the parapet. There is an additional level at the SW side of the building—which is unusual as such superstructures are typically found over the ‘services’ end of tower houses. During an inspection in 1999 there was no access to this additional level, but there is a doorway to it from the SE parapet, leading to a low barrel-vaulted room (Ua Croinin and Breen 1997). A sheela-na-gig (CL017-084005-; CL033-191----) was found in a field c. 300 yards to the W of the castle, from which it may have been removed (Gleeson 1943).

On a slight rise in level rough pasture. Indicated on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. This rectangular enclosure (27.5m NW-SE; 21m NE-SW) is defined by the remains of a masonry wall bonded with yellow mortar, which is most clearly traceable on the SE side. The N half of the enclosure’s NE side is defined by the 17th century bawn (CL017-084001-) of Ballyportry Castle, a tower house (CL017-084002-) with which this enclosure may be associated as an outer yard. A flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 3.4m) outside the enclosure on the SW side appears to be a quarry ditch. Outside the SE side of the enclosure is a cliff (H c. 3m) which extends N to the E corner bastion of the tower house’s bawn. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 14-10-2025

In sheltered pasture surrounded by overgrowth, with higher ground to N and S and a S-flowing stream c. 50m to the E. This poorly preserved enclosure is defined by a double-faced drystone stone wall (Wth 2.2-2.5m; int. H 0.6-0.7m; ext. H 0.5m) which survives only from SSW to SW. The facing-stones are rough and irregular. From ESE to SSE, a stony bank/scarp (int. H 0.7-1m) defines the enclosed area. At the top of this scarp at SSE, two large blocks appear to be the inner and outer facing-stones of a wall (int. H 0.4m; Wth c. 2.2m) which is overgrown here externally. At ESE, a broad stony bank (Wth 4.2m; H 0.8m) runs N (L 20m) from the edge of the enclosure and continues N towards Ballyportry Castle [CL017-084002-] and was possibly associated with it.

On the W edge of a slightly raised area of partially overgrown limestone pavement, overlooking a small S-flowing stream c. 50m to the W. Hachured as a roughly circular ringfort on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map but recorded as a more rectangular-shaped structure labelled ‘Sheepfold’ on the slightly later OS 25-inch plan (1893), and similarly recorded but not labelled on the Cassini edition (1916) of the OS 6-inch map. Classified as an ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1995). An oval cashel (int. diams. 36.6m NE-SW; 26.8m NW-SE) is defined by a double-faced drystone wall (Wth 1-1.3m; H 0.2-0.8m) that has been rebuilt in sections with poorer quality masonry. No original entrance is obvious. The interior is stony and partially overgrown with hazel scrub and contains a D-shaped enclosure (4.5m N-S; 3.5m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (H 1.4m; Wth 0.5m) in the W sector, abutting the cashel wall. This enclosure appears to be an original cashel subsequently reused as a sheepfold/agricultural enclosure. Curving field boundaries extending E may be contemporaneous with the original cashel.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
