- TS067-004 Historic town
Description
On a ridge, on the junction of the Limerick-Waterford road and the Cashel-Kilmallock road with the River Ara flowing roughly E-W to the S. It is likely that the town of Tipperary was the principal manor or caput of the Anglo-Norman cantred (an administrative area) of Okonagh (which included the eastern portion of the Tipperary barony of Clanwilliam, as well as portions of Limerick) and probably dates to the late 12th century. A motte and bailey (TS067-001----) c. 1.1km to the N and a motte (TS067-002----) c. 800m to the NW protect the northern and northwestern routes into the town. In 1215 the ‘vill’ or town of ‘Tibrari’ is mentioned in relation to the church there and in 1300 a reference to the ‘community of the town’ suggests that the town was incorporated at this stage (Bradley 1985, 56). Otto de Grandison, who held Clonmel, also held Tipperary town by 1281 (Thomas 1992, 194). It appears that the county court met at Tipperary until the Archbishop of Cashel moved it to Cashel, which was the subject of a legal case in 1297 (Thomas 1992, 194). The town was burned in 1329 by Brian O’Brian, however, there are references to the reeve (senior town official) and community up until 1432 (Bradley 1985, 56). There is historical evidence that the town was walled, though no physical evidence is visible at ground level. In 1300 a murage grant was given for a period of 10 years and in 1310 a further grant was give for a period of 3 years (Thomas 1992, 194). Based on the probable survival of the medieval town pattern on the modern town, it is suggested that the town consisted of an area of c. 15 hectares, roughly rectangular in shape, incorporating the church (TS067-004003-) and graveyard (TS067-004008-) in its NW angle and the castle (TS067-004002-) in the SE angle, with the river forming the southern boundary (Thomas 1992, 194-5). An Augustinian Friary (TS067-004001-) is located immediately S of the river. There is conflicting evidence of when this was founded, sources suggesting that this was either during the reign of Henry III (1216-1272) or later c.1300 by Stephen Butler (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970 (1988 reprint), 302). In the 15th century the town seems to have gone into decline and did not recover until the late 17th century. In 1660 the poll-tax returns for the town suggest a total population of c. 250, however, during the course of this decade the hearth-money records suggest that the town grew rapidly with the population almost doubling in size (Smyth 1991, 165).

- TS067-004001 Religious house - Augustinian friars
Description
S of Tipperary town (TS067-004----) and immediately S of the River Ara, at the SE junction of Abbey Street and Railway Road. There is conflicting evidence of when this Augustinian Friary was founded, sources suggesting that this was either during the reign of Henry III (1216-1272) or later c.1300 by Stephen Butler, an ancestor of the earls of Carrick-on-Suir (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970 (1988 reprint), 302). In 1539 the friary was surrendered by the then prior, Donough O'Cuyrke (O’Quirk) and the possessions, consisting of ‘a church, chapter-house, dormitory hall, two chambers, an inner chamber, kitchen, stable, cemetery and garden, all said to be in ruins and not valued (ibid.). The jurors also stated that ‘the church has from time immemorial been the parish church of Typperare. There are no superfluous buildings, but all are necessary for the farmer, and with 2 gardens and other accommodations cont. 2 acr. And are worth nothing above repairs’ (White 1943, 327). The jurors appraisal was probably exaggerated to reduce the value of the property as one of the jurors, Dermot Ryan, subsequently gained possession of the abbey (Quane 1960, 40; Gwynn and Hadcock 1970 (1988 reprint), 302). In the 1680s the abbey was demolished and the materials were used to build an Erasmus Smith Grammar School (Quane 1960, 42). Only a pointed arch survived, with a soffit rib carried by pointed corbels, which is visible on at least two pre-1950s photographs. According to the OS Letters of 1840, ‘This arch is about sixteen feet [c. 4.8m] high, and is eight feet ten inches [c. 2.5m] wide. There is but a very small portion of the wall, which was four feet two inches [c. 1.2m] thick, remaining on each side (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 3, 34 -35(103)). A survey of the arch in 1920 gives the width of the arch as 8 feet 10½ inches (c. 2.69m), the height to the spring of the arch as 8 feet 9½ inches (c. 2.67m) and the thickness as 4 feet 1¼ inches (c. 1.24m), with the soffit rib being 11 inches thick (0.26m) (OPW files, 15 April 1920). In 1958 an attempt was made to move the arch, however, this only resulted in its total ‘collapse and disintegration’ (Quane 1960, 75). No trace of the abbey survives at ground level.

- TS067-004002 Castle - unclassified
Description
On a height in the SE section of the town, c. 100m NE of the River Ara. Corporation housing and warehouses constructed since 1954 currently occupy the location. This castle is not indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map and on the 25-inch map it is designated as ‘King John’s Castle (Supposed site of)’ with hachures depicting the SE portion of an inner and outer curving scarp, with a suggestion that the scarp continues on both sides northward beneath modern property boundaries. There are no known historical references to this castle and as there are no visible remains at ground level it is not possible to ascertain the nature or date of this castle.

- TS067-004003 Church
Description
Though currently occupying a postion roughly in the centre of Tipperary town, immediately N of John Street, it was possibly originally located within the NW angle of the town, the town defences (TS067-004009-) may have formed the N and W boundary of the graveyard (Thomas 1992, vol. 2, 195). In 1215 the advowson (the patronage including the tithes) of the church of the vill of Tibrari (town of Tipperary) was granted to Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin (Bradley 1985, 56). A royal visitation of 1607 found the parish church in repair, suggesting that it continued in use after the Reformation for Protestant worship and in 1730 the medieval church was hugely remodelled (Butler 2006, 53-5, 189). The present C of I church at this location dates to 1832. Nothing survives at ground level of the medieval church, which is indicated as being immediately S of the C of I church on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. There are no apparent medieval architectural fragments or pre-1700 graveslabs in the graveyard (TS067-004008-). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 9 June 2014
- TS067-004005 School
Description
On the E side of Railway Road, S of the River Ara and in the grounds of the Augustinian Friary (TS067-004001-). In 1669 a royal charter granted Erasmus Smith ‘several parcells of abby land, with the old abby, in Tipperary...to hold ye premisses to ye uses of his charity’ (Quane 1960, 41). This charity was the establishment of a free grammar school. Construction of the school began in 1680 when the old abbey was demolished to provide building materials. In 1690 the school was closed as the building was taken over as a headquarters by the Williamite army. The following year the school was burned down. In 1702 a new school was completed (Bourke 1989, 86). This late 17th/early 18th-century building survived for over a hundred years when in 1820 a new school replaced it. The 'Father Humphreys Memorial School' that is present today, opened in 1955, was partly built on the old Abbey School (Quane 1960, 75). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 10 June 2014
- TS067-004008 Graveyard
Description
In the centre of Tipperary town, immediately N of John Street and possibly originally within the NW angle of the town defences. The medieval church (TS067-004003-) is not longer visible at ground level. The present C of I church at this location dates to 1832. There are no apparent medieval architectural fragments or pre-1700 graveslabs visible in the graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 June 2014
- TS067-004009 Town defences
Description
In 1300 a murage grant was given for a period of 10 years and in 1310 a further grant was given for a period of 3 years (Thomas 1992, 194). Based on the probable survival of the medieval town pattern on the modern town, it is suggested that the town consisted of an area of c. 15 hectares, roughly rectangular in shape, incorporating the church (TS067-004003-) and graveyard (TS067-004008-) in its NW angle and the castle (TS067-004002-) in the SE angle, with the River Ara forming the southern boundary (Thomas 1992, 194-5). There is no visible trace of an enclosing wall, bank or fosse at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 10 June 2014
- TS067-123 Kiln
Description
An excavation was carried out in a green-field site, N of the medieval church (TS067-004003-) and graveyard (TS067-004008-), in advance of construction of a government office building (Cummins 2000, 203). An E-W orientated kiln structure was cut into the sand subsoil (ibid.). This consisted of a linear flue (L 8.5m; Wth 3.48m; D 1.2m) leading to an elliptical bowl at the E end (ibid.). It was keyhole-shaped in plan (ibid.). The sides were stone-lined, and a single lintel stone was found over the flue (ibid.). The kiln was filled with collapsed sand from the sides of the structure (ibid.). There was a basal, charcoal-rich deposit under the stone lining, which may contain evidence of charred cereal grains, indicative of a corn-drying function (ibid.). There were also small fragments of oxidised limestone in some of the overlying fills, which may suggest a limekiln function (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 June 2014
- TS067-124 Hut site
Description
An excavation was carried out in a green-field site, N of the medieval church (TS067-004003-) and graveyard (TS067-004008-), in advance of construction of a government office building (Cummins 2000, 203). A circular hut site, 4m in diameter, was excavated in the NE corner of the field, and no enclosing bank or fosse was uncovered (ibid.). The upper level of the hut had been disturbed by cultivation activity, and there was a high amount of hollows in the interior caused by root/burrowing activity (ibid.). A sherd of post-medieval pottery was found in a context severely disturbed by root/burrowing activity (ibid.). The hut was surrounded by a narrow gully, 0.2-0.5m wide and 0.2m deep, containing no evident post-holes or stake-holes (ibid.). It may have functioned as a bedding trench (ibid.). The entrance in the N was indicated by a backfill of moderately compacted sand within the gully, and a hearth lay close to the centre of the hut (ibid.). The interior of the hut was occupied by overlapping sand layers containing a number of small post-holes and stake-holes (ibid.). They did not indicate any identifiable structures, apart from a possible spit over the hearth (ibid.). There were two shallow pits in the NE corner, and one of these contained a fragment of a jet/lignite bracelet (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 June 2014
- TS067-131 Burial ground
Description
An excavation was carried out in a green-field site, immediately N of the medieval church (TS067-004003-) and graveyard (TS067-004008-) in advance of the construction of a government office building (Cummins 2000, 203). During testing in 1997 five burials, orientated E-W, were excavated, though no dating evidence was retrieved (Hodkinson 1998, 180). In 1998, a further sixteen burials were excavated, aligned E-W or slightly NE-SW (Cummins 1998, 203). The total number of burials represent eleven adults, five juveniles and two neonates (ibid.). Associated pottery suggested a post-medieval date for the burials (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 June 2014
