Only the grass-covered wall footings of the medieval church are now visible in NE quadrant of graveyard with architectural fragments of the church reused as grave-markers throughout the graveyard. Church ruins described in 1840 as following; 'The old Church on this hill is a very rude one and all its architectural features are destroyed with the exception of one quadrangular little window placed on the north wall close to the east gable. It is wide inside and measures two feet four inches [0.7m] by seven inches [0.17m] outside, where it is six feet eight inches [2m] from the ground. The east gable is nearly destroyed and there is a large breach in the south side where the doorway was placed and another nearly opposite it in the north side wall. The lower part of the north wall is built of very large stones up to the height of four feet [1.2m] but from that up is of much smaller ones. This Church measures in length forty five feet [13.7m] and in breadth twenty two feet [6.7m] inside; its wall are four feet [1.2m] thick, built of lime stones cemented with good lime and sand mortar and their greatest height is at present nine a half feet [2.8m] inside and twelve feet [3.65m] outside' (OSKL Knocklong Parish).

• LI041-004005 Castle - tower house
  Description

  O'Hurley Castle situated on E edge of Knocklong Hill overlooking St Patrick's and St. Paul's Well's (LI041-004006-/008-) 85m to E, with Knocklong church (LI041-004002-) and graveyard (LI041-004003-) on higher ground 60m to SW. The Desmond Survey of 1584 recorded that 'Garrett mcThomas is free tenant of the castle and vill of Knockeloyney [Knocklong]' (Murphy 2013, 177). In this survey 'Thomas O Hurley of Knocklyney' owed the Earl of Desmond 'yearly coynye and Lyverie due and payable by said Thomas issuing from the vill and lands of Knockloyney in the parish of Bealla Naneashe in Cosseclereogh aforesaid now or late in the tenure or occupation of Ony ne velaghlen and containing 2 quarters. Like amount of Coynye and Lyverie and like incidents as Ballydonanto (ibid.). The Civil Survey of 1654-56 recorded that Sir Moris Hurly of Cnocklong an Irish Papist was in the possession of 'a ruined Castle a Mill (LI041-061----), with two Faires a Courte Leet & Court Baron' (Simington 1938, 233). This castle (ext. dims. 11.1m N-S x 9.1m E-W; Wall T 2.5-1.5m; int. dims. 6.7m N-S x 5.45m E-W) is a multi-period structure with at least two building phases visible in the masonry. The N end of the castle appears to be earlier than the S half which may explain the difference in wall thickness and in the appearance of the masonry. The N wall is the thickest wall measuring 2.5m thick and has a prominent base batter with roughly coursed masonry which is different in appearance from the masonry on the other three walls. Internally there are traces of the springing of a stone vault in the NE angle which is not visible elsewhere. The original castle appears to have had a stone vaulted roof over the ground floor was as entered through a doorway located off centre to N in the E wall. The remains of a drawbar slot are visible on the S side of this broken out doorway located adjacent to the NE angle in the E wall (T 1.8m). The remains of a late medieval twin light ogee-headed window with decorated spandrels are visible high up in the centre of the W wall (T. 1.5m) at second floor level. The lower courses of the W wall have been robbed put along with most of the quoins on the SE and SW angles. The remains of a garderobe chute are visible in the NW angle of the castle which was accessed from the first floor. During the 17th century the stone vaulted ground floor was replaced with wooden floors and the S wall (T 1.9m) of the castle was heightened with the addition of a chimney stack and a two storey house was added onto the E wall adjacent to the SE angle of the castle. The crease-line of the slated roof of this building is visible at S end of the E wall. Internally there are several wall-cupboards visible with large broken out windows visible in the centre of the S wall at ground and first floor levels. The S gable is surmounted by a squat chimney stack that was added onto the castle in the 17th century. On the external face of the S gable just below the chimney stack is the sill-stone of a late medieval twin light window. Traces of internal render or plaster is visible in the SE angle of the castle at first floor level. Castle described in 1840 as following; 'A short distance to the north east of the Church (LI041-004002-) there is a Castle or rather strong built mansion house measuring twenty one feet [6.4m] from north to south in length and eighteen feet [5.5m] in breadth on the inside. It was three stories high and its south wall is six and a half feet [1.9m] thick and about thirty feet [9m] high. There were two apartments in the thickness of the north wall near the top lighted by two quadrangular windows. This building was lighted by several large windows, but they are much disfigured. There are two large quadrangular ones on the south wall, one on the west and I think two on the east, but these last are only breaches in the wall at present' (OSL Knocklong Parish). Westropp (1906-7, 195) recorded the following details about O'Hurley's Castle; 'The C[astle]. is of very late date, 1570-74. Pardons to T[homas]. Hurley, of Knocklongie (Fi. 1765, 2472). 1583 The C[astle]. held by Garret mac Thomas in Ballyneashe (Atheneasy) parish, in Cossherleroo (Des. R., 38b ; Peyton, 237b). 1606-1635 Maur[ice], son of T[homas]. Hurley, held it (Inq. Chan., 1b, 146). 1655 The ruined C[astle], mills, two fairs, courts leet and baron, & c., Sir M[aurice].

It is 21 feet [6.4m] north and south, 18 feet [5.5m] and 30 feet [9m] high ; the walls, 6 feet [1.8m] thick, with three stories, two large defaced windows in each of the south and east walls. There were four gables; one still has a plain chimney. The under vault has collapsed; and the stairs and cut-stones are removed'.

St. Patrick's and St. Paul's Well's (LI041-004006-/008-) located 35m to S. Square-shaped area (approx. dims. 40m N-S x 38m E-W) defined by a scarp and external ditch which appears to have been a water-filled moat before the field was reclaimed. A field drainage ditch intersects monument at NW angle and a second leat or water drainage channel intersects the SE corner. A series of linear drainage ditches are clearly in the field to the N of the square-shaped earthwork. It is possible that the earthwork was created during the land reclamation works visible in this poorly drained field rather than the remains of a medieval moated mill-site. Outline of monument is clearly visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs. No monument depicted at this location on any edition of the OS six-inch maps.

• LI041-062 Earthwork
  Description

  In reclaimed pasture. Holy Well ( LI041-008----) lies 180m to SE. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Possible enclosure identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 17; AP 5/2127). Visible as a ridge running NW-SE to the S of an area of low vegetation on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages. Doubtful antiquity, may be a natural hillock in wet grassland. See attached Bruff aerial photograph and Google Earth orthoimages. Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date of upload: 4 August 2021
