• LI032-095001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  In 1826 the following account was given about Ballynamona Castle; 'On the banks of a small river which covers the road from Herbertstown to Hospital are the ruins of a church (LI032-095002-) and castle. We find that a Raleigh was a proprietor of this castle in reign of Charles II' (Fitzgerald 1826, 306). Westropp (1906-7, 184-5) incorrectly identified the castle standing to the W of Ballynamona Church as Ballynamona Beg Castle (LI032-166----). The 1654-7 Down Survey parish map shows Ballinamona More Castle stood in the area to the W of the church while Ballinamona Beg Castle stood to the SSE in the present townland of Castlefarm. Westropp recorded the following historic details on Ballynamona More Castle; '1583 Jas. ffoxe held the land (Des. R., 33b); the C[astle]. was held by J. Browne; the next year by Sir E. Fitton (Inq. Exch., 19); by N. Haward, 1607; by Edm. Baggott and D. O'Grady in 1609-10; the latter held one third of the C[astle]. with the loft and half the cellar (Pat. R., and Inq. Chan., 191). 1655 It was held by Ed., Ric, and Maur. Rawly (C.S., xxxi., p. 22). Fabric - It stood near the west wall of the graveyard (LI032-095003-), but was levelled before 1840'. Tower House like castle depicted on the 1654-7 Down Survey map of Ballynamona parish map (NLI, MS 718). The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that Edmond Rawly, Richard Rawly and Morrish Rawly were the owners of the lands on Ballynamonamore and Ballincurra on which there stood a 'decayed Castle, ten cabins & a Mill Seate' (Simington 1938, 110). Castle ruins described by O'Kelly (1943, 178) as following; 'It is not now possible to trace the foundations of this castle. Only one small angle of masonry which seems to have fallen from some upper portion of the building remains to mark the site'. See attached Down Survey map showing the castle of Ballinamona More.

• LI032-095002 Church
  Description

  Westropp (1904-5, 447) recorded the following details about Ballynamona Church; 'A parish. Sweetman identifies it with Chapel Mora (Moortown), 1302. Suit of Ed. and Juliana Berkeley and Tho. O Turdilly for dower on Moreton prope Any, the property of Walter de Bonevile, 1327 (Mem. R., i Ed. III., m. 10); Moreton Rectory, with Anee Commandery, 1578 (Fiants, 3250) ; Morestown, or Ballymoneyny, 1607; Moretown, 1615; Ballinemony (D.S.A., 39). There is a Rosconodstown or Moortown in Connello, 1703 (Patent R.). Fabric - The church and castle [LI032-095001-] stood in 1827. (Fitzgerald, i., p. 306.) There is a stone circle [LI032-099---] not far to the east of the church'. Church ruins described by O'Kelly (1943, 178) as following; 'The walls of this church remain to a height of about 7' [2.1m] but are completely shrouded in ivy. No architectural features remain which would indicate the date of erection. It is probable that the original parish church stood on this site. It is surrounded by a graveyard [LI032-095003-] still in use'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 26 April 2019

• LI032-098 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  Mound-barrow described in 1943 as following; This monument consists of a, circular mound which does not seem to have had a fosse (Fig. 11). There is no bank either on the platform or ground the mound. The maximum height of the platform is 7' [2m] and the overall diameter is 120' [36.5m]. It is situate on the bank of the Ballynamona River and during drainage operations on this, part of the mound on the south side has been cut away. The land around it is marshy. The barrow is in the north-east quadrant of the platform. It consists of very low mound surrounded by a fosse. Its overall diameter is 30' [9m]' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 178-9).

• LI032-099 Stone circle
  Description

  Stone Circle described in 1943 as following; 'Only in the north-east arc of this circle are the stones remaining fairly perfectly in their original positions (Fig. 10). Many have gone altogether on the north-west and south sides. In the remaining arc the stones are almost contiguous and are nearly all of limestone, but a few are of volcanic breccia. A modern fence has been built in an east-west direction across the circle. This almost passes through the centre. On the north-west arc of the circle where the stones are gone there is a "step-down" to the level of the field outside. This is not apparent elsewhere. It is due to the fact that the packing of small stones which held the large stones in place has remained. The circle was tilled in 1941. In ploughing, the above mentioned stone packing suffered very much. During the tillage nothing was found. The overall diameter is 110' [33.5m] and the greatest height of any of the stones does not exceed 4' [1.2m], the average height being about 3' [0.9m]. All the stones are rough boulders rather than standing stones' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 178). The outline of the monument is clearly visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.

• LI032-101 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  In reclaimed pasture, abutting a townland boundary with Castlefarm to S. Depicted on 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped platform (52m E-W; 47m N-S) with fosse to W and curvilinear drainage ditch from N-E-SE, intersected by road at S. Described by Westropp (1922, 71) as: ‘There is a large, conspicuous hill, north-east from Knockainey, and about four miles from it, called Cromwell Hill. The only antiquities known to me between the two ridges are a stone circle [LI032-099----] and earth-ring [LI032-101----], cut by a laneway, in Ballinamona, an outlier of the Loch Gur group’. Upstanding monument is visible a roughly circular-shaped ring-barrow on Archaeological Survey of Ireland aerial photographs (ASIAP 351, 1 & 352, 0), on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-2012. Well preserved monument (overall diam. c. 54m) visible on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013 as a circular-shaped area (diam. c. 28m) defined by a scarp with fosse and outer bank with external fosse which have been intersected at SSE by public road. Monument visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 20/03/2018, where it is truncated by a road running NE-SW across the SE edge and is flanked by a curvilinear land drain from NW-N-NE-E.

• LI032-257 Enclosure
  Description

  At the S edge of boggy heath, liable to floods, abutting a townland boundary with Ballinscoola (Cahercorney) to WNW. A barrow (LI032-258----) lies 95m to SSE. Not depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map. Shown on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subrectangular-shaped area (63m WNW-ESE; 62m NNE-SSW) divided into three fields, with a rectangular-shaped field (53m WNW-ESE; 43m NNE-SSW) occupying most of the SSW half and a farmstead in the SE corner. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 184.01 & 02: AP 4/3608) as a large rectangular-shaped cropmark with a semicircular-shaped cropmark occupying the SSW half. Possible enclosure is visible as a rectangular-shaped tree-lined area (80m NNE-SSW; 76m WNW-ESE) divided into three main fields, as seen on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/03/2017. This may suggest that this is a small, post-1700 field system associated with an abandoned farmstead, in the SE corner. The semicircular-shaped cropmark identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey is not visible on any modern orthoimages.

  In improved pasture, 15m NW of forestry and 115m NW of the Ballynamona River. Conjoined ditch-barrows (LI032-263001-) are visible within the S quadrant. Possible field system situated within a rectangular-shaped field (250m NW-SE; 200m NE-SW) depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 186.02: AP 4/3609) as a series of linear cropmarks intersecting at various angles and possibly representing old field boundaries and collectively forming an ancient field pattern. The linear cropmarks are not clearly visible on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, or on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 or on Google Earth orthoimage 25/03/2017. The field boundaries depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map are traceable on these orthoimages. Also visible is a long sinuous feature running NW-SE with some short, parallel linear cropmarks running roughly E-W toward it on either side. This may represent subsurface drains leading to a former watercourse that flows to the Ballynamona River.
