Recorded monuments
- CO062-047 Standing stone
Description
Marked 'Gallaun Garrycloyne' by Munster Archaeological Survey on 1904 OS 6-inch map (UCC). Condon (1916, 73) described stone (H 2ft 9ins; Wth 27ins; T 41ins) in field on opposite side of road to Garrycloyne Castle; 'The stone overlooks a rivulet'. This description locates stone further SE along road than Munster Archaeological Survey location. No surface trace of stone in either location. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO062-048 Castle - tower house
Description
In pasture, atop low rise; castle now reduced to sod-covered foundations (c. 12.5m N-S; c. 12m E-W; H c. 0.5m), about which some stones are littered. Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 650) described it as 'a lofty square tower, built in 1535 by the Clancarthys'; photograph in Lee (1910, facing 131) shows heavily ivy-clad tower; in the 1940s it was still possible, according to Duggan (1989, 50), 'to climb to the battlements using the internal circular stairway'; the ruins were levelled 1948/49 'and all the stones were drawn away to build the boundary walls around a new housing scheme' (ibid.). Passed from Mac Carthys to Travers family in 17th century and in 19th century to Townsends (Healy 1988, 55). 1842 OS 6-inch map shows castle standing within demesne of Garrycloyne House; this house demolished in early 1940s but some demesne features survive including rusticated gate piers and ruined gate lodge, and ruined farm buildings. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
