- KD012-021 Enclosure
Description
First recorded as a positive cropmark in August 1991 by Dr. G. Barrett in the course of an aerial photographic survey. Aerial photograph (GB91.EM.35) shows the cropmark of a curvilinear enclosure defined by two fosses. The N boundary of the enclosure is apparently defined by the Slate River. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD013-020 Castle - tower house
Description
In open, level pasture. A fairly well-preserved four-storied structure, which may originally have had an attic, is almost square in plan (int. dims. L 5.1m E-W; Wth 4.4m; av. wall T 1.2m) and has a barrel vault orientated N-S over first-floor level. It is built of uncoursed limestone rubble masonry with some dressed quoins but without a base batter. The building was inhabited up to the late 1970's and contains some modern alterations. The entrance doorway in the N wall is accessed through a later shed and has been raised in height and cased in timber (H 1.8m; Wth 0.97m). It gives immediately S into the ground floor chamber and there is a very narrow (Wth 0.67m) intramural stairs immediately inside the doorway to the right (W), which climbs up to the W. At ground-floor level the N wall contains a very large and deep fireplace (Wth 1.6m; D 1.12m) with a red brick arch, which may have been inserted into a small guard room flanking the entrance doorway. There is a centrally placed, broadly splaying embrasure in the E wall which contains a now blocked-up window. The S wall contains a straight-sided, brick-lined recess (probably an altered window ope) at its E end. It contains a blocked doorway which gave access to a later building abutting the S end of the tower house, which has since been demolished. First-floor level was accessed off the stairs through a plain, square-headed doorway, the top of which is cut into the barrel-vault above, at the S end of the N wall. The floor level was altered and is now marked by a line of opposing joist-holes in the E and W walls, as is the line of the third-floor level. First-floor level is lit by three, centrally placed loops in the N, E and S walls. Second-floor level is accessed through a similar doorway to the one below, located towards the S end of the W wall. This level is lit by loops in the E and W walls and the outline of the embrasure of a third loop is visible behind modern plaster in the S wall. The N wall contains a partially robbed, brick-lined fireplace at its E end and a large alcove (Wth 2.3m; D 1m; H 2.3m), the top of which is robbed, at its W end. A centrally placed doorway with brick surround gives access to an intramural stairs which climbs W and turns S into the W wall where a plain doorway gives access to the third-floor level. This level is lit by a by a centrally placed loop in the S wall and the outline of a centrally placed embrasure is visible behind later plaster in the E wall. Two small, opposing loops, high up in the E and W walls may originally have lit an attic. There is a small cast iron fireplace at the E end of the plastered N wall. The intramural stairs continues up to battlement level, access to which is now blocked. The crenelations have been reconstructed in heavily rendered brick. A post medieval inscribed stone (KD013-020002-) once lay outside the entrance doorway. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD013-020001 Inscribed stone (present location)
Description
According to Rynne (SMR File, 1962) this is, 'a large, flattish boulder (limestone?)' apparently found on the Hill of Allen in 1961, which was moved to outside the doorway of Ballyteague Castle (KD013-020001-), owned by Mr. Hendry. Rynne's sketch shows an apparently compass-drawn palmette-style design. The stone is no longer outside the castle. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
