• OF008-018001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Situated atop high ground with good views, field was in meadow which made the examination of the low wall footings of Erry Castle (OF008-018001-) impossible. No features visible. Depicted on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map as a rectangular shaped-enclosure or earthwork enclosing Erry Castle (OF008-018001-) which is depicted as a square-shaped building. Only the S wall of the castle along with the S bank fo the bawn is depicted on the revised 1908 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The remains of this castle were described in 1942 as, 'There are slight traces of a fosse. The enclosure-wall is almost levelled, and can be traced as a bank 5' (1.5m) high on S, 2' (0.6m) on W & N., nearly level on E. The enclosure is level and rect.[angular], int. dim. 37 x 33 yds. (34m x 30m) Inside it towards S. end are traces of stone walls, a bank nowhere more than 2' (0.6m) high 12 yds (11m) long, app.[earance] of a house (OF008-018001-) adjoining the rampart or with projecting wings' (ITA Survey 1942). The monument was surveyed in 1977 and described as, 'a fairly large poorly preserved rectangular enclosure approx. 35m E-W by approx. 40m north-south. The enclosure is outlined by a broken embankment on south with a fosse outside, while the eastern side is defined by a very poorly preserved embankment. The 'Castle' consists of low grass covered wall footings. Very little can be learned from the very scant remains, which are in the southern part of the enclosure (OF008-018002-) ' (SMR File 1977). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2011

• OF008-018002 Bawn
  Description

  Situated atop high ground with good views, field was in meadow which made the examination of the low wall footings of Erry Castle (OF008-018001-) impossible. No features visible. Depicted on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map as a rectangular shaped-enclosure or earthwork enclosing Erry Castle (OF008-018001-). This earthwork appears to be the earthen remains of the bawn of Erry Castle. On the revised 1908 ed. of the OS 6-inch map only a short stretch of this earthwork is depicted running along the S side of the Castle. The remains of the possible bawn were described in 1942 as, 'There are slight traces of a fosse. The enclosure-wall is almost levelled, and can be traced as a bank 5' (1.5m) high on S, 2' (0.6m) on W & N., nearly level on E. The enclosure is level and rect.[angular], int. dim. 37 x 33 yds.
