No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Coppingerstown.

## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- CO076-051: Castle - tower house, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO076-051----. In farmyard; fragmentary remains of small tower house standing to 4 storeys with conjoined rectangular structure to N standing to 1 storey. At ground level walls survive for 7.65m on W side and for 5.7m on S side; only lower courses of N wall survive; E wall entirely fallen. Surviving walls narrow as they rise; at upper levels only short returns of S and W walls remain. Interior ground floor area occupied by lean-to hen house. Projecting corbels supported 1st floor; window ope in W wall obscured by ivy; window ope in S wall, with slit light, entirely missing E side. Fragmentary remains of vault (axis E-W) in SW corner between 1st and 2nd floor levels. Intact lintelled window embrasure with slit light in S wall at 2nd floor level. At 3rd floor level window opes in W and S walls with window seats; only one side of each embrasure survives. At ground level in external W face, opening for garderobe chute. Structure to N (8.7m N-S; surviving for 6m E-W) also entirely missing E wall; projects 4.5m at right angle to W wall of tower. Junction with tower obscured by collapse; base of mural stairs visible at broken E end of Swall; short curve leads into straight stairs rising to W. Double-splayed window opes in W and S walls, blocked ope in N wall. Along inner W face, springing courses, probably of vault, survive; Coleman (1913, 109) describes this structure as 'a low covered-in building adjacent, stone-roofed'. Wall thickness of tower at ground level is 2.35m whereas that of structure to N is just 1.2m. Little is known of the site's history; it was already ruinous and reduced in height when depicted by Grose (Stalley 1991, 40) in early 19th century. Coleman (ibid., 108-9) connects it with both Coppinger and Cotter families but considers that 'this castle may have been originally a Geraldine foundation'; known as 'Coppingerstown Castle'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO076-052: Burial, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO076-052----. On gravel ridge in marshy field. Uncovered during gravel quarrying by mechanical digger. Excavated by Murphy (1961, 65-66) who found long stone-lined cist, long axis ENE-WSW (L 1.94m; max. Wth 0.5m; max. H 0.26m); narrowing towards E end. At W end capstones rested on upright side stones, which leaned outwards; at E end small thin slabs were placed resting against feet and legs. Remains of human skeleton found; bone report suggests 'man in late middle life'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

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.
