St. Mochua, who died c. 657 founded an Early Christian monastery at Timahoe (Teach Mochua). The saint's feastday is commemorated on the 24th of December (Ó Riain 2011, 469). It was plundered and burnt in 919 and 1142 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 45). In later medieval times, the O'Mores refounded the monastery, and in 1609 it was granted to Richard Cosby. The round tower (LA018-031005-) is the only surviving feature of the early foundation. It probably dates to the twelfth century, though its base may be earlier. Built of sandstone and limestone, it is six storeys high (H 29.6m) and is roofed with a conical cap (Barrow 1979, 135-9). No floors survive. It is renowned for its Romanesque doorway, visible at first floor level, which has four receding orders, in two pairs, and is finely decorated with human heads with intertwined hair. A window decorated in a similar style is visible at second floor level. Slit, square-headed and pointed windows are on the other floors. The fifteenth century church, to SE of tower, was transformed in the sixteenth century into a tower house (LA018-031006-) (Harbison 1970, 141), probably by one of the Cosbys. The only surviving feature of this church is a large arch (Wth 3.95m), possibly the chancel arch, which was blocked up and incorporated into the E wall of the castle. It is composed of punch-dressed chamfered limestone with evidence of diagonal tooling (Petrie 1845, 234-43; Crawford 1924, 31-42). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran.

A church was founded here by St. Mochua who died in 657 (JRSAI Part I Vol. IV, 31). No visible surface remains. Round tower (LA018-031005-), castle (LA018-031006-) and graveyard (LA018-031003-) are all that remains of the monastery of Timahoe. All visible headstones post date 1700 AD. In November 1978 human remains were discovered during building works at Timahoe, Co. Laois (Cahill & Sikora 2011, Vol. 2, 491). According to the report received from the Gardai, thirteen skulls were discovered at a depth of 0.4m below ground level. The remains were reportedly found on the north side of the church in the vicinity of the round tower. The site was visited by Breandán ó Ríordáin, but by that time the remains had been removed from the excavated area. According to the finders' reports, two articulated skeletons had been found in an extended position, one near the northern end of the excavated pit, with the head to the east, and the other at the southern end with the head to the west. A number of skulls and other bones were also noticed between the two articulated skeletons. No grave structures or associated artefacts were found. The remains were all reburied.

A large quantity of human remains were discovered within the ruins of Timahoe castle (LA018-031006-) and beside the round tower (LA018-031005-). In 1598, 1200 people were killed in the battle between General Harrington and Melaghlen O'Moore (O'Byrne 1856, 39-40). O'Byrne described the circumstances in which the bones were unearthed as he says 'About thirty-four years ago a young man, by name Foran, with whom I was acquainted, dreamed that three pans of gold lay buried in the floor of the Castle of Timahoe: on the day following the night on which he dreamed he came and digged for the three pans of treasure, and in digging actually found beneath the surface three pans of small bones. This really appears strange, as the pans rested not more than a foot under the surface' (JRSAI V, 1858-9, 106). In November 1978 human remains were discovered during building works at Timahoe Co Laois (NGR 253560/190220). According to the report received from the Gardaí, thirteen skulls were discovered at a depth of 0.40m below ground level. The remains were reportedly found found on the north side of the Methodist church in the vicinity of the round tower (LA018-031005-). The site was visited by Breandán Ó Riordáin. By the time of Ó Riordáin's visit, the remains had been removed from the excavated area. According to the finders' reports two articulated skeletons had been found in an extended position, one near the northern end of the excavated pit, with the head to the east, and the other at the southern end with the head to the west.

National Monument No. 114. Built with sandstone and limestone blocks standing 96 feet [29m] high (Crawford 1924, 31-45). Circumference at base of main body c. 17.5m, circumference of foundation level c. 20.75m. It contains a Romanesque doorway with four orders of sandstone blocks at first floor level in the E face. At the W is a single stone round-arch window, at the S is a pointed arched window of four stones and at the top of the tower is a two stone pointed arch window at each point of the compass. The tower is six storeys high each wooden floor being carried on an offset. The two first floors were not lighted by any windows, the third storey was lit by a doorway on the E face which was approx. 15 ft. above the level of the ground. The fourth floor was lit by a pointed window in the S face, small square window in the N face at fifth floor level, and the sixth floor was lit by a square window on the W face. Four triangular headed windows facing the four cardinal points are situated on the top floor immediately beneath the conical cap. The internal arch of the doorway is decorated with lozenge patterns or chevrons while the doorway is decorated with typical Romanesque features such as human faces on the angles of the capitals. The round tower (LA018-031005-) is the only surviving feature of the early foundation. It probably dates to the twelfth century, though its base may be earlier.

An Abbey was established here by the O'Mores. The lands were granted to Sir Thomas Loftus after the suppression and to Richard Cosby in 1609. The Abbey was fortified by the Cosbys in the late sixteenth century (JRSAI,Vol. LIV, 34; O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, 243) and they may have built a castle there during the reign of Queen Elizabeth (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 243). The fifteenth century church, to SE of tower, was transformed in the sixteenth century into a tower house (LA018-031006-) (Harbison 1970, 141), probably by one of the Cosbys. The only surviving feature of this church is a large arch (Wth 3.95m), possibly the chancel arch, which was blocked up and incorporated into the E wall of the castle. It is composed of punch-dressed chamfered limestone with evidence of diagonal tooling (Petrie 1845, 234-43; Crawford 1924, 31-42). Reference to a sheela-na-gig (LA018-031007-) at the doorway (Guest 1936, 114), not now visible. Remains consist of E wall (L c. 12.45m) and short returns of N and S walls. The E wall incorporates the blocked-up chancel arch. Large beam holes visible on the inner face of the E wall at first-floor level and also a doorway leading to a chamber in SE angle. Evidence of slit opes in remains of N and s walls, now much destroyed and otherwise featureless.

Reference to a strange figure in stone at the doorway of Timahoe tower house (LA018-031006-) and a grotesque stone figure (Anon 1894, 80, 393). Not clear whether this is referring to the same or a second figure. According to local information, there was a figure on the part of the N wall which has fallen; it may be buried beneath debris (Guest 1936, 114). No visible surface remains. In 1894 it was recorded that at Timahoe there was ‘a grotesque figure requiring further inquiry’ (Anon 1894, 393). In the same year it was recorded that at Timahoe Castle (LA018-031006-) there was ‘a strange figure in stone, at the doorway of this castle. Its claim to admission in the list is open to doubt; but it is figured in a series of drawings belonging to the late Thomas Cooke, Esq., of Parsonstown, in 1870, and now owned by a gentleman in the south of Ireland, who kindly lent them to the writer’ (Anon 1894, 80). In 1935 Guest wrote that ‘it is not clear whether one figure is referred to, or two; none at all can now be seen. From personal information it appears that there was a figure on the part of the north wall that has now fallen, and it probably lies buried in the debris’ (Guest 1936, 114) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P.

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.
