• LI032-147001 Settlement cluster
  Description

  The present village of Hospital stands on the site of a medieval settlement probably founded in the 13th century by Geoffrey de Marisco when he established the church of the Knights Hospitallers (LI032-147002-). By the 17th century the clustered settlement consisted of a cluster of dwellings, a church, a castle (LI032-147002-) and watermill (LI032-144----), with a weekly fair and two annual fair days. The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that Thomas Browne of Hospital & his mother Lady Barbara Browne was in possession of the lands of Hospital on which there was 'two fayres by the yeare a markett ev'ie weeke a Court Leet & Barron a Castle sixtie houses & a Mill seate' (Simington 1938, 96).

• LI032-147002 Religious house - Knights Hospitallers
  Description

  National monument No. 194. The medieval church ruins of the Hospital of Any belonging to the Order of the Knights Hospitallers was dedicated to St. John the Baptist. It now stands on N side of a graveyard (LI032-147003-) with R. C. Church standing immediately to WNW. The R. C. church also dedicated to St. John the Baptist was built in 1852. The Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem originated in a hospice founded in Jerusalem around 1070 to care for pilgrims and was dedicated to St John the Baptist. The Hospital of Any or Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem is also known today as the Knights Hospitaller and the Knights of Malta. The Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem in Ireland consisted of a central Priory founded at Kilmainham (DU018-020286-), Co. Dublin in 1174 with subordinate houses known as preceptories located through the country. The preceptory at Hospital was second in importance after Kilmainham Priory (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 336). The church ruins formed part of the 13th century preceptory dedicated to St. John the Baptist (Ware 1658, 234; Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 336). The church belonged to the Order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, and was known as the Hospital of Any or the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem (De Montmortency-Morres 1817, cixxi). The hospital was founded in the year 1215 by Geoffrey de Marisco (Mariscis), Justiciar of Ireland (RIA Ms. 14/D/17/27 (iii)). According to Ferrar (1784, 432) the hospital may have been built on an earlier late 12th century monastery which was described by Ferrar as a 'friary for eremites, following the rule of St. Augustine, founded in the reign of King Henry II (1154-89). In 1216 King John issued letters of unlimited protection for the Prior of St. John of Jerusalem and these letters were issued to Geoffrey de Marisco, of Katherain [Knockainey/Cathair Áine], justiciary of Ireland, and all the king’s bailiffs and faithful subjects of that country (Cal. Doc. Ire., 105). In 1303 the ecclesiastical taxation of all goods belonging to the Bishop of Emly recorded the church of Any located in the Deanery of Grene had an annual value of 8 marks and stated that the 'Hospitallers are rectors' (Cal. Doc. Ire., 279-80) Today the church ruins stand at N end of the village of Hospital, 110m S of the River Mahore and Hospital Bridge with watermill (LI032-144----) 730m to the NW. The ruins of a long rectangular church stand in the N quadrant of Hospital graveyard (LI032-147003-) with 19th century R. C. Church located immediately to WNW. St. John's holy well (LI032-147004-) and medieval castle site (LI032-147005-) lie 70m to the NNE and 120m to the NE respectively. In 1541 King Henry VIII, granted a pension worth £28 17s 8d. sterling to Eneas Hernan [O'Heffernan], the last preceptor of the Hospital of Aney (Nicholls 1994, 26). In this year King Henry VIII granted to, 'Edmund Sexten, of Limerick, gentleman, Patrick Gowle, of Kylmalloke, and Nicholas Fannyng, of Limerick, merchants; of the preceptory or manor of Anee, county Limerick, with its appurtenances. To hold for twenty-one years, at a rent of £6 13s. 4d. sterling, and paying his pension of £28 17s. 4d. sterling to the late preceptor' (ibid., 27). This 21 year lease included the lands of 'Anye, Ballynecloghire, Lymerike, Killmalloke, Adare, Croghe, Askeyny, Rathkilly, Ardaghe, Casshell, Carryke, Ardarty, and Dengille, rectories of Anee, Loynge, Kylfrusse, Kayrcorney, Kayrfussoke, Kylcalane, Morton, Owlys, Browe, Carnowsy, Rochiston, Ardarre, Newton by Ardarre, Narlaghe, Kylville, Kylleny, Kyllyno, Kyllame, Kyltome, Rathronan, Areffynan, Mortelston, Cnograffyn, and Carrintobbyr, in the counties Limerick, Kerry, Tobbyrare (Tipperary), and Clare' (ibid. 37). In 1541 the extent of the preceptory was described as following; ‘All the buildings are still standing as at the time of the dissolution. There are no superfluous buildings which can be thrown down, but only such as are necessary for the farmer. These with a cemetery (LI032-147003-) and other accomodations in the precinct cont. 1 acr.[e], and are worth nothing above repairs. V.[icarage] of Ane. 220 acr. ar.[able], 40 acr. p.[asture], 20 acr. moor; held by divers tenants for 40s. 5d. A water-mill (LI032-144----); 13s 4d. 12 cottages; 8s. Customs, 12 ploughdays and 6 boondays, and from each cottager, 3 boondays and 1 hen; 10s 1d. Total, 71s 5d. Rectory of the Hospital, 66s. 8d. R.[ectory] of Ane, 40s.. The donation of the vicarage belongs to James earl of Desmond’ (White 1943, 116). In 1542 King Henry VIII granted Eneas O'Heffernan 'custody of the possessions of the vacant bishopric of Emly. To hold as long as they remain in the king's hands, rendering to the king the true yearly value' (Nicholls 1994, 38). In 1569 Queen Elizabeth granted a 21 year lease to 'William Pers and John Cockerham, gent.; of the manor or preceptory of Ane, co. Limerick, and the towns or rectories of Ane, Moreton, Ballymone, Ballinlough, Kilkallan, Carecorne, Ballynnerd, Broo, Rocheston alias Rocheton, Knockelonge, Templebrydan, Carryck, Casshell, Gareuskan, Kylwarren, Killeighan, Killayne, Kilton, Kyllyn, Kilwyle, and Mennarde, co. Limerick, possessions of the hospital of S. John of Jerusalem in Ireland' (ibid., 158). In 1578 a 21 year lease was granted to Captain William Apsley of the 'commandery or manor of Anee, co. Limerick, and all its appurtenances in Anee, Ballenecloighe, Lymrick, Kilmallock, Adare, Croghe, Askeinie, Rathkille, Ardagh, Casshell, Carrick, Ardartie, and Dengen; also the rectories of Anee, Loinge, Kilfrusse, Kayrecorney, Kairefussock, Killcallane, Moreton, Owlys, Browe, Carnowsie, Rochiston, Ardare, GaryUskan, Kilbaven, Meynarde, Kilwille, Killene, Killino, Kiliane, Kiltome, Rathronane, Aressynane alias Ardfynan, Mortelleston, Cnockgraffm, and Carrintobber, in cos. Limerick, Kerry, Tipperary, and Clare, and all other possessions of the commandery, parcel of the late hospital of S. John of Jerusalem' (ibid., 443-4). In 1582 the queen granted Anably Apsley, widow 'the wardship and marriage of Edward, son and heir of William Apslie, late of Any, co. Limerick, gent.; and custody of his lands. To hold during minority. Rent, 4d. Fine 20s.' (ibid., 548). In the same year William Apsley who is described as the assignee of John Cockerham surrendered his lease 'of the preceptory of Anee, co. Limerick, and its possessions' (ibid., 443-4). In 1587 as part of the plantation of Munster, Queen Elizabeth granted Sir Edward Fyton, 'the barony manor, castle, and borough town, of Awney [Aney], containing in demesne 4 ploughlands, the lands of Kilkellan, Camos, the castle and lands of Ballynemonymoore and Ballynemonybeg, the castle and lands of Knockmonye, the castle and lands of Eltown, 6 ploughlands; the lands of Banoge, Cloghdolordy and Balintravishy, Tirvowe, the castle and lands of Cloughkettin, 3½ pl.; the lands of Rahan, Bewbushe, Rowre, and Glanamore, 1½ pl.; the castle and lands of Cromwell; the castle and lands of Karrykettle, the house called the Curbe, and late house and lands called Kiltilie, near Karykettle, 1½ pl.; a stone house and a thatched house in Kilmallock, lately occupied by George Meagh fitz Richard; the castle and lands of Coullenaghgonogh, in the counties of Limerick and Tipperary, 4 pl.; the castle and lands of [ ] kerden, with the Tough, 3 pl.; the castles and lands of Balynecourty, Clonbeg and Dungrott, in Aharlow, 1 ploughland; the reversion and rent of 13s. 4d., Irish, out of a house in Waterford, occupied by ( ) Thewe; the manor, castle, and lands of Kylmanehin, co.

• LI032-147005 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Kenmare Castle (NIAH Reg. No. 21811029) may have been built on site of medieval castle. The precise location of this castle in the town of Hospital has not been identified. Westropp (1906-7, 185) recorded the following details about this castle; 'Marked. The preceptory was founded by G. de Mariscis, 1215 (see Proc. R.I.A., xxiv. (c), p. 449). It (or a C[astle]. near it) was used as a residence after the dissolution. 1578 C[astle]. granted to W. Apsley. 1655 Hospital held by T. Browne (C.S., xxxi., p. 5). The C[astle]. stood, according to tradition, not far from the preceptory to the east of the bridge, and on the north bank of the river. No trace remains'. O'Kelly (1942-3, 236) gave the following details on Hospital; 'This castle was situated in the village of Hospital not far from the ruins of the Knights' Hospital. No trace now remains. The Hospital is said to have been granted to Sir Valentine Browne who erected the Castle. The grant was made by Queen Elizabeth. Nothing further is known of it'. The present Kenmare Castle house was described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage as a 'Detached five-bay single-storey house, built c. 1780, comprising three-bay three-storey block to north-east having dormer attic with single-bay single-storey extension having lean-to to north, three-bay bow and two-bay two-storey addition to south elevation. Two-bay two-storey extension to rear (east) elevation' (www.buildingsofireland.ie). The castle of Hospital is depicted on the 1654-57 Down Survey map of Any Parish as fortified house like structure consisting of a gable end two storey high house with tall lateral chimneystacks rising above the roofline (NLI, Ms 718). The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that Thomas Browne of Hospital & his mother Lady Barbara Browne was in possession of the lands of Hospital on which there was 'two fayres by the yeare a markett ev'ie weeke a Court Leet & Barron a Castle sixtie houses & a Mill seate' (Simington 1938, 96).

• LI032-147007 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  In a housing estate, to W of Main Street, in Hospital village and 95m S of a boundary with Millfarm. Within settlement cluster (LI032-147001-) of the medieval village of Hospital. Monument is 15m S of St John’s graveyard (LI032-147003-) and 55m SW of St John’s church (LI032-147002-). Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Archaeological test excavation carried out in 2001 by Ken Hanley (2003, 233) under licence No. 01E0305 was summarised as following : ‘The most notable aspect of the site investigation was the sheer depth of topsoil, ranging from c. 0.35m (to the south) to c. 1.2m (to the north). In terms of potential archaeology, the site investigation revealed a relatively low concentration of features. The predominant features consisted of linear parallel cuts, consistent with cultivation furrows. Only four pits were identified. A deep ditch-like cut was identified in Trench 2. The feature produced some animal bones but was otherwise sterile and it was not possible to determine its exact function. It did not appear to continue into Trench 3 and may merely have been a large pit. A small, 0.8m-long section of wall identified in Trench 7 was located relatively high up in the topsoil layer. The only feature to produce finds was a small pit in Trench 3 which produced three sherds of North Devon gravel-tempered ware. The pit was located below c. 1.2m of topsoil. The remainder of the site produced moderate quantities of 18th-20th century pottery from the topsoil. Overall, the excavated remains were indicative of sporadic agricultural activity’. All archaeological features were subsurface and have been fully excavated and are not visible on modern aerial photography.

• LI032-147008 Tomb - effigial
  Description

  Standing in the NE corner of the church (LI032-147002-) belonging to the Hospital of Aney or the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem is the effigy of an Anglo-Norman knight believed to be the figure of Geoffrey de Marisco who founded the Hospital in 1215 (Ware 1658, 234; De Montmorency-Morres 1817, cixix; Hunt 1974, 199-200). A photograph of the interior of the church ruins taken by Edwin Rae c. 1930-70 shows the effigial slab of Geoffrey de Marisco is lying on a low wall set into a recessed area at E end of N wall of church (http://www.tara.tcd.ie/bitstream/handle/2262/38936/ertk2165.jpg). A second photograph taken by Edwin Rae shows the slab standing upright in the NE angle of the church (http://www.tara.tcd.ie/bitstream/handle/2262/38936/ertk2165.jpg). The effigial tomb was described by Hunt (1974, 199-200) as following: 'This is a single effigy of a knight carved in high relief from a large slab of limestone, the right leg crossed over the left. The figure is armed in mail. The body defence is a hauberk to above the knee. Over this is a surcoat, falling to the knee in front and split up to the fork, but longer at the back and falling to the calf of the leg. The arms and legs are defended by mail sleeves and chausses, the sleeves having attached mail muffers. The right hand can be seen grasping the edge of the shield. The feet had mail sabatons continuous with the chausses. These are damaged, but enough remains to enable the prick spur to be seen on the right heel. The neck and throat are defended by what is no doubt the lower part of the coif of mail, continuous with the hauberk. A curious raised ring is shown around the base of the neck. It is covered with the wavy-line form of decoration in transverse bands used all over the figure to represent mail. The head is further armed in a helm of cylindrical form. The top is flat, and the front forms a slight keel down the median line which is slightly curved from brow to chin. The chin point in front is slightly lower than the bottom edge of the sides. The sights are of slit formation, and are outlined by a decorated band, which is continued down from brow to chin. There are remains of a similar band which ran around the edge of the top. These no doubt represent decorative reinforcements. The end of the sword is visible lying under the leg. It apparently hangs from the broad belt at the waist, which is studded at intervals with transverse bands. The large shield covers the left side from shoulder to knee, and hangs from a guige over the right shoulder. Beneath the feet and the point of the shield are carved foliations forming supports. The ring around the throat is perhaps intended to represent the junction of the hauberk and the coif. These were, however, usually made as one garment, or merely overlapped, and this ring, while occurring again on the knight of the double tomb (LI032-147009-) discussed below, does not appear on any other monument in Ireland. It has been suggested (a) that it represents a collar worn around the neck under the mail, (b) that it is a badge, either of the de Mariscos—to which family it is thought these effigies might have belonged—or of the Hospitallers. The building in which these tombs now lie was a commandery of the Order, but as one of the effigies (LI032-147009-) is shown with a wife, it is unlikely that they represent members of the order, but benefactors only. It is possible that the de Mariscos had a collar as a badge; it is an adjunct of the Moor in heraldic representations; but unless the figure with the similar ring at Kirkstead, Lincolnshire, could be shown to be a de Marisco also, it must rather be taken as a hitherto unexplained feature of early armours. The great helm can be compared with many examples in England and on the Continent, as well as with that depicted on the Jerpoint slab. Those at Kirkstead of 1240, Furness Abbey, Walkerne 1250 and Wells, 1240 may be cited. The type continues until about 1280 in England, and it appears to be slightly earlier than the Jerpoint, Co. Kilkenny version. Similar armours to that shown on this slab date largely from the period 1230-1260, and it is likely that the Hospital effigy is nearer to the latter date'. The effigial slab is depicted in 1817 as resting on top of a box-tomb in a drawing in the Genealogical Memoir of the Family of Montmorency (De Montmorency-Morres 1817, cixix) which cites the figure as that of Sir Geoffrey de Montmorency de Marisco, founder the priory of Aney who died 1245-6.

• LI032-147009 Tomb - effigial
  Description

  Standing in the SE corner of the church (LI032-147002-) belonging to the Hospital of Aney or the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem is the double effigy of an Anglo-Norman knight and his lady, dating from the second half of the 13th century (Hunt 1974, 200-01). The effigial tomb was described by Hunt (1974, 199-200) as following : 'A very much damaged and broken double effigial tomb shows a knight lying upon the dexter, the lady covered by the shield. His left arm appears to encircle her shoulders, the elbow being visible at her side and the forearm descends and the hand grasps the left side of the shield. Her left hand appears above the shield lying upon her breast. He is shown armed in mail, the same convention of lines being used as on the single tomb (LI032-147008-). The head is defended by a mail coif. The same curious ring appears around the base of the neck. The surcoat and hauberk seem to have been similar to those on the single tomb. There is a belt at the waist. The muffer hangs from the right wrist and falls over the edge of the slab in a naturalistic manner, and the hand lies flat on the thigh. A sword is visible behind the leg on the slab and the legs appear to have been crossed. Because of damage, comparatively little of the lady's clothing can be made out, but she seems to have a head-dress with a veil, giving a flattened top to the head; perhaps it was of pill-box form. The folds of her gown can be seen on the sinister side of the slab. The pair lie upon two separate rectangular pillows. The effigy appears to be of approximately the same date as the single figure (LI032-147008-), but this is difficult to confirm because the damage caused to the slab has made identification of some of the details difficult. Attention seems never to have been drawn to the fact that this appears to be the earliest double effigial tomb in Ireland and perhaps is earlier than any in England also'.

• LI032-147010 Tomb - effigial
  Description

  Standing at the E end of the S wall of the church (LI032-147002-) belonging to the Hospital of Aney or the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem is the effigy of an Anglo-Norman knight possibly dating from the 14th century (Hunt 1974, 201). The effigial tomb was described by Hunt (1974, 201) as following : 'This is a flat tapering slab of conglomerate carved in very low relief and bearing the effigy of a knight. The figure appears to be wearing mail, but the slab is too worn for details to be clear. The head is rounded, and a coif is probably intended. The surcoat can be distinguished; it does not appear to be of the long variety, but rather of medium length. There is no belt visible. The shoes have points. The left hand grasps the sword, which has a short straight cross, a large disc pommel and a rather straight broad fullered blade. This type of blade continued in favour from Viking times until the diamond section ousted it from favour in the fourteenth century'. It has been recently suggested that the figure on this slab is that of Roger Outlaw, prior of Kilmainham hospital, Justiciar and Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who died on the 13th of February, 1341 at the Hospital of Any (Cotter 2016, 120; Caffrey 2016, 157). His death is recorded in the annals by Friar John Clyn who wrote that on 'Tuesday, the day following [the feast of] Blessed Agatha, virgin, Brother Roger Outlaw, prior of the Hospitallers of Ireland, died at Any. He was then holding the post of justiciar and also chancellor of the lord king, thereby holding three posts simultaneously. He was a prudent and gracious man who through his industry, and by special favour and licence from the king of England, acquired many possessions, churches and rents for his order (Ó Clabaigh 2016, 217; Williams 2007, 229). Three photographs taken by Edwin Rae shows the slab lying on a low wall set into a broken out embrasure that has since been blocked up (http://www.tara.tcd.ie/bitstream/handle/2262/38936/ertk2181.jpg/2179.jpg/2180.jpg).
