  Description

  Situated on top of high ground in undulating countryside. Raised circular area (diam 29.5m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5m) which is best preserved at W elsewhere it is reduced to a scarp with evidence of stone revetment along inner face at S. External fosse is poorly preserved and was flooded at time of visit making examination impossible. No definite entrance feature located.

• OF046-006 Church
  Description

  Situated on top of high ground in undulating countryside. Only portion of the W gable survives with wall footings elsewhere indicating the outline of a long rectangular church (dims. 19.5m E-W; 9m N-S; wall T 1m) built with roughly coursed limestone rubble. The only architectural feature visible is a single splay of a window at the centre of the W wall. The church is located in the centre of a large graveyard (OF046-006001-) containing 18th/19th-century headstones. There is a tower house (OF046-008----) located to the S of the church which may be contemporary with the site and possible evidence of medieval settlement between the church and tower house.

• OF046-008001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Located on flat land in undulating countryside. Square shaped area enclosed by bawn wall (ext. dims. 48m N-S; 49m E-W; wall T 0.85m) constructed with roughly coursed limestone rubble with base batter visible. Original gate tower to bawn (OF046-008002-) at centre of N wall and protrudes beyond external face of wall flanked by musket opes. One of these opes is now blocked by a rebuilt section of the bawn wall on the W side, probably a result of 19th-century improvements to the bawn. There is evidence of a bartizan on the NE angle which was carried externally on corbels and a flanking turret on the SE angle (ext. diam. 6.6m), of which only the foundations survive. There are several modern sheds located inside the bawn with the original tower located in the NW angle which presently stands one storey high with a fine transomed and mullioned window of Jacobean style in the W wall. The Tower house (dims. 15.25m N-S; 9.35m E-W; wall T 1.1m) is constructed with roughly coursed limestone rubble with base batter visible. Only the N and W walls survive with wall footings of the S wall and no evidence of the E wall. Narrow slit ope visible at ground floor level at the S end of the W wall. A modern gateway exists at the centre of the S wall probably a later insertion. The S wall of the bawn has a string course visible with post holes in pairs above and below the string course of unknown function. It could possibly indicate presence of building against bawn wall. At the S end of the bawn there is a small two storey T-plan house (OF046-008003-) with later 19th-century extension at N end of house. Small tower projecting at rear of house contained stairs which was the only access to the first floor which is a characteristic feature of late 17th/early 18th-century houses. Probable 17th-century Tower house\fortified house and bawn with later 17th-century house erected inside bawn.

• OF046-028001 Burnt mound
  Description

  Phase 2 excavations along 17.1km (Contract 1) of the 35km N7 Castletown to Nenagh (Derrinsallagh to Ballintotty) national road scheme were commissioned by Laois County Council and the National Roads Authority. Contract 1 comprises the western half of the scheme and runs from Clashnevin to Castelroan, passing along the Tipperary North and Offaly county border regions. Six areas of archaeology were uncovered during Contract 1 trial-trench testing. Cullenwaine 1, Area 5.1, was originally tested under licence E3377 in 2007. The excavation at Cullenwaine 1 revealed a concentration of prehistoric activity that comprised three spreads of burnt-mound material, ten troughs, one post-hole, eleven stake-holes, two ditches, two hearths, numerous layers, four cremation pits (OF047-028002-/005-) and five possible cremation pyres. The majority of the features cut the subsoil. Two ditches truncated the area of the site; they were orientated north-east/south-west. Six of the troughs were located in close proximity to each other at the north-west end of the site. A hearth was located to the south of the group of pits. Four additional troughs were located further to the south. There was no evidence of timber lining in any of the troughs. A hearth was located to the north-east of the troughs. A total of seven of the pits were located in the eastern portion of the site, unassociated with the layers of burnt-mound material. The four cremation pits were located in close proximity to each other at the north-west end of the site, to the south of the cluster of six troughs. The pits measured on average 0.7m by 0.6m and the fills included fragments of cremated bone. These were associated with four possible pyres, also located in the north-west corner of the site (Bennett 2010, 401). Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 08 November 2011
