Recorded monuments

• OF033-005001 Church
  Description

  Featureless remains of a badly ruined church with only a portion of its N wall (L 11.2m, wall T 0.9m, H 2.7m) still standing. It is built with rubble limestone and is incorporated in the graveyard wall. Graveyard overgrown with scrub and brambles and nothing of archaeological interest noted. Poorly preserved remains of rectangular church (approx. int. dims. 16.5m E-W; 5.6m N-S; wall T 0.9m) with only portion of N wall surviving which is now incorporated into the graveyard wall, with wall footings of the S wall visible. No architectural features visible. Graveyard contains 18th/19th-century headstones with Tower house (OF033-005003-) located immediately to the S. According to O'Flanagan (1933, vol. 2, 30) the church was mentioned in the Annals of the Four Masters in the year 1387. Comerford (1883, 311) measured the church 40ft E-W by 18ft N-S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

• OF033-005003 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Located on flat land with good views in all directions with medieval church (OF033-005001-) to N. Poorly preserved three storey high Tower house of which only two storeys survive. The Tower house (dims. 8.5m N-S; 9.5m E-W; wall T 1.5m) which is square in plan was constructed with uncoursed limestone rubble with evidence of wickerwork centring in its arch construction. No evidence of a door or stairs probably because they existed on the destroyed E wall. Ground floor window set in a widely splayed embrasure in N wall. Large segmental arched garderobe chute outlet on the external face of N wall which was sloped in order to throw the waste away from the base of the wall. The garderobe was located on the destroyed second floor. Destroyed window located on the S wall at ground floor level. Flat headed windows set in widely splayed embrasures at first floor level. In the NW angle of the building at first floor level there is an angle loop which is set in an embrasure in the corner of the building less than 0.5m away from the window on the N wall. This light is too narrow to be used for defensive or domestic purposes. Floors were carried on wooden beams. To the W of the Tower house are the possible wall footings of the original bawn wall (OF033-005005-).
