- LI024-072001 Historic town
Description
The historic town of Pallas Grean was described in the Urban Survey of Limerick as following; 'Pallas Grean (old) is situated in the east of the county about thirteen miles from Limerick city on the Tipperary road. The name is derived from Palis Greine, "the mansion of Grian", which is probably an allusion to the sun and to pre-Christian sun worship. It is referred to as Grian in the Vita Tripartita, written c. 900, and an annalistic entry for 914 (AFM). After the coming of the Normans Pallas Grean was for a time a manor of the bishops of Emly (Sweetman 1875-86, i, no. 715) before being granted in 1233 to Maurice FitzGerald (ibid., no. 2045). The following year FitzGerald was granted the right to hold an annual fair at his manor of "Gren" (ibid., no. 2182). An extent of the manor was made in 1331 and this sheds some interesting light on the nature of the Anglo-Norman settlement there. It states that the earl of Kildare held twenty burgages at Gren which were normally worth £4 4d per annum but which were now wasted and destroyed by the Irish (Mac Niocaill 1964b, p.120). The extent adds that there were no buildings left at that time except for the motte (ibid.). From these references it is clear that a borough had existed at Pallas Grean in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries but since its existence is not documented after 1331 it may be assumed that it was abandoned about this time. There is no surface evidence for settlement here but it is likely that the medieval borough was centred on the motte [LI024-072002-], castle [LI024-072003-] and church [LI024-072004-]' (Bradley et. al. 1989, 212-3).

- LI024-072002 Castle - motte
Description
This steep sided motte is c. 8m high with a surrounding ditch 2m wide and 2.5m deep. There are good views to the north-east and east but it is overlooked by higher ground to the north-west and south. The top of the motte is sub-rectangular in shape and c. 20m in width. O'Dwyer (1958-61, 74-5) mentions a rectangular structure in the north-east quadrant 8.2m by 7.3m but this is not visible at present. There is a possible bailey to the west separated from the motte now by a modern lane but it is extremely overgrown and inaccessible. It also appears to have had an enclosing ditch. The above description of this monument is taken from 'The Urban Archaeological Survey of County Limerick' compiled by John Bradley, Andrew Halpin and Heather A. King (Office of Public Works, 1985).

- LI024-072003 Castle - unclassified
Description
The following description of this monument is taken from 'The Urban Archaeological Survey of County Limerick' compiled by John Bradley, Andrew Halpin and Heather A. King (Office of Public Works, 1985, 214). "Westropp (1906-7, 105) reports that the foundations of a castle existed c. 1800, some 40 yards west of the motte in the position marked on the o.s. map. There is no trace of the remains today." In 1840 the Ordnance Survey recorded that 'there formerly stood a castle about forty yards eastwards of this moat [LI024-072002-], but the stones of which it was built, which were limestones, have been entirely removed' (OSL, 40). Westropp (ibid.) recorded the following about Pallas; 'Grian was a place of note in early historic times, having even then a legendary fame going back to the semi-historic or mythical periods. Legends remain of the princess Grian, now recognised as a banshee, and of the early Prince Oilioll Olum, of the battle fought by the High King, Cormac mac Airt, in 241, and of St. Patrick's visit to Grian in Aradha, circa 437. The place was also named in early times "Cnoc na gcuradh," or "Champion's Hill." It appears in the Annals, 918. In Norman times, 1216, it was formed into a manor and granted to the Bishop of Emly. 1233 Granted to Maurice Fitz Gerald, and a fair was established the following year, A large mass of material may be found in the C.S.P.I. (1233-1307), Plea Rolls, &c. It was wasted by Turlough O'Brien, 1285-7" Blue-streamed Grian " (Wars of Torlough) and forms one of the group of manors with Adare, Croom, and Wrgidy, held in varying amounts by Fitz Gerald, de Clare, de Valence, de Cogan, and the Earls of Kildare. In 1334 a grant was made for the repairs of the C.s. in Estgrene. In later days, 1544, Greneogoanagh was held by Thady mac Brien (Pat. R.), and in 1586 Toghe Asgrenan was in the patria of O'Brien-Arrey, including Kilduff (Peyton, 24lb). 1611 Sir Ed. Fisher was granted part of the ruinous C. of Pallace, the estate of Tirlagh mac Morough Brien (Pat. R.). 1629 Conor Mac Murtagh Mac Brien held two parts in the C. of Pallesgreny (Inq. Chan., 9, 76). 1655 C. shown near Pallice which was held by Murragh oge MacBryne and Sir Morris Hurley (B.D., 50 ; Petty, 67). It seems to have been demolished before 1680, as Dyneley notes that "there was anciently a Castle on a neat mound at Pallice" (R.S.A.I. viii., p. 283). Fabric. - The site was unknown to the O.S.L. (8, p. Ill) in 1840, but is given on the maps; the mote lay about 40 yards to the east of the foundations; there had been traces of strong walls there in 1800'.

- LI024-072004 Church
Description
The medieval church of Pallas Grean was described in the Urban Survey of Limerick as following; 'The church was in ruins when Thomas Dinely sketched it in 1680 (Westropp 1904-5, 444-5) but now only fragments of the north and east walls remain in a sub-rectangular graveyard [LI024-072005-]. There is a short section of the return of the south chancel wall and a grass covered mound of stones at the west end probably indicates the site of the west wall. It was built of roughly coursed rubble limestone and consisted of a nave and chancel; the chancel being narrower than the nave. The maximum height of the walls is c. 5m. The walls are featureless with the exception of a possible splay of a window in the north wall. The presence of an elaborate multi-moulded doorway and a traceried window is attested by two stones used as gravemarkers to the north and north-east of the church. Drainage chutes have also been used as grave-markers' (Bradley et. al. 1989, 214). In 1840 the Ordnance Survey recorded the following about Pallasgreen church; 'In the W. end of this village is the ruin of the Established Church, in being until 1839 when the roof was taken of it to permit it undergo repair. But it is considered that a new Church will be erected in Newpallas, and this ruinous one condemned' (OSNB, 792). Westropp (1904-5, 444-5) recorded the following details on Pallas Grean; ‘A parish in Coonagh. Grian, in Aradhac, c. 450 ("Trip. Life," p. 203); Grian, 914 (A.F.M.); Gren manor granted to the Bishop of Emly, 1216; granted to Maurice Fitzgerald, the justiciary, 1233, and a fair established, 1234 (C.S.P.I., 962 ,715 ,2045 ,2183); Grena church and deanery, 1302. Agnes de Valence was deprived of Estgrene, worth 10s., by Tatheg O'Brien, but got damages from T. de Clare in 1287 (Mem. R., 1306). In 1318, Galfrid Harold, rector of Grene, rescued a prisoner, and was tried for it (Plea R. 123 of xi Ed. II, m. 34) ; and John, Earl of Kildare, called on the Abbot of Wethney to appoint a proper parson to the vacant church (ib., m. 18). Greane, 1586 (Peyton, p. 1); Green church, down, chancel repaired, 1615. Site - The modern I. C. church is on the old site. Thomas Dyneley, in 1680, gives a view of the church. He shows a nearly levelled wing, with a round-headed door, and double-light window in the low side wall; to the right is the chancel, in repair; near the west end is a north door, with a pointed arch, and ornate hood and buttress, with crocketed finials; next this are a stepped buttress and two-light window, a cross-like slit, and a narrow slit near the east end'. Present remains are rectangular in plan (internal dims. 7m N-S; 17m E-W) with small rectangular addition at W-end. N-wall has fallen, only footings traceable at E-end of N-wall. E-wall (1m) completely grassed over. S-wall is partially collapsed. W-wall is in reasonable condition. Walls (T 0.65m) constructed of stone and mortar. Gravestones within interior and surrounding the church. The clearance material from graves (eg old wreaths; weeds etc.) have been dumped within small rectangular addition on W-end of church and are grassed over.
