• OF009-023 House - fortified house
  Description

  An early Georgian farmhouse is situated on the site of castle of which nothing remains. The four round corner towers along with bawn wall and round arched gateway with triangular pediment and spiral finials all belong to the late 18th or early 19th-century and were built after the castle was destroyed probably by the occupiers of the now ruinous Georgian farmhouse. An early Georgian farmhouse is situated on the site of a castle of which only the bawn survives. The four circular angle towers along with part of the bawn wall (OF009-023001-) appear to date from the seventeenth century. The round arched gateway with triangular pediment and spiral finials appear to belong to the late eighteenth or early nineteenth-century and were built after the castle was destroyed probably by the occupants of the ruinous farmhouse. The back wall of this cottage is part of the earlier bawn wall of 17th century date. Probable plantation castle of 17th century date with large rectangular bawn wall with four corner flanking towers. The wall and angle towers are defended with gun loops that provided flanking fire along the outer face of all four walls of the bawn.

• OF017-039 Metalworking site
  Description

  New monument described as Ballynasrah 1, excavated by Tom Janes of Headland Archaeology Ltd in advance of the proposed N52 Tullamore bypass national road scheme, was located c. 1.5km north of Tullamore in gently undulating farmland that was under pasture at the time of testing. Two small circular pits with evidence of in situ burning were identified in offset T8 on the eastern edge of the CPO corridor. An area of 17m north–south by 9m was opened around the features, but no further archaeological deposits were identified. The larger of the two pits (Context 03) was subcircular in plan with steeply sloping sides; the base tapered to a blunt point broadly kidney-shaped in plan. It measured 0.4m north-east/south-west by 0.3m and was 0.4m deep. The sides of the cut displayed evidence of in situ burning; the natural geology through which the pit was cut was fire-reddened to a thickness of c. 0.03m. The feature had two fills. The upper fill comprised a compact yellow/orange burnt sandy clay, with moderate inclusions of charcoal flecks and fragments. This layer was 0.11m deep and sealed the basal fill, a loose charcoal-rich brownish-black sandy silt with frequent inclusions of charcoal flecks and fragments, moderate pieces of burnt clay and moderate small, medium and large pieces of ferrous slag. This layer was 0.29m deep. No diagnostic artefacts were recovered from either layer, but both contexts were sampled for future environmental analysis. The second pit (Context 05) was 0.2m south-west of Context 03. It was circular with steep sides and a concave base; it measured 0.29m in diameter and 0.13m deep. There was also evidence of in situ burning around the edges of the cut; the natural geology was fire-reddened to a thickness of 0.02m. Context 05 was filled with a charcoal-rich sandy silt from which frequent inclusions of ferrous slag were recovered. Moderate amounts of burnt clay were also noted and sampled for environmental analysis. No other archaeological deposits were identified in the extended area around the feature or in neighbouring test-trenches (Bennett 2009, 447-8).
