- MO011-008001 Castle - motte and bailey
Description
The motte at Clones is at the highest point of a NNE-SSW drumlin ridge. The barony of Dartree, together with the baronies of Cremorne and Farney were part of the grant of Ardee made to Peter Pippard c. 1190 (Otway-Ruthven 1968, 70). In 1211 the castle of Clones was erected by the ‘English and the English bishop, and they made a predatory incursion into Tyrone; but Hugh O’Neill overtook them, and routed and slaughtered them, and slew amongst others, Myler, the son of Robert’ (AFM). Robert Pipard built the castle with the active support of John de Grey, the bishop of Norwich and Justiciar of Ireland (1208-13) as Pipard’s financial accounts for Oriel and Ulster in 1211-12 testify (Davies and Quinn 1941, 63, 67). The Justiciar had the feudal army at Clones in 1211 to support Pipard (Otway-Ruthven 1968, 82-3), but the following year Hugh O’Neill and the men of the north burnt the castle (AFM). It was probably abandoned after this as there is no further mention of it. (Shirley 1879, 167) The motte is a wooded mound (diam. of base c. 50-55m; H c. 6-8m) with a fosse at its base, and a second fosse (Wth c. 3m) that is c. 3m above the basal fosse on the sides of the motte. The basal fosse (Wth c. 4.5-5.5m; ext. D 0.75m at NW to 2.5m at SW) is often water-logged but is absent N-SE where the bailey is situated c. 3m above the level of the basal fosse. The upper fosse is largely silted up and forms a terrace but it has a bank (Wth c. 1.8-2m; int. H c. 0.5m) on its outer edge except where it too is absent or destroyed N-E. The summit (diam. c. 10-12m) is uneven and probably has been quarried, but it is c. 3m over the level of the upper fosse. The bailey is almost flush with the upper fosse but it is separated from the motte by a slight dip (Wth c. 15-16m). Wakeman (1875, 328) recorded a local tradition of an underground passage or possible souterrain and there are folk references to one, but there is no physical evidence of it. The bailey is to the NE of the motte on the spine of the ridge. It is a subrectangular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 28m NE-SW at SE; 34.5m NE-SW at NW; 38-40m NW-SE) defined by overgrown scarps (H c. 2-3m) with a fosse (Wth 4.5-5m; int. D 2.7m; ext. D 0.6m) surviving only on the NW side, which has a pond at its N end. There are raised triangular projections at the N (dims 8m N-S: 8.5m E-W at S; H 1.6m over interior) and W (dims 12m E-W; 6.5m N-S at SE; H 1.1m over interior) angles. These angle bastions could indicate that the bailey was re-fortified in the late sixteenth or seventeenth centuries, and the Down Survey barony map (1656-8) depicts and names a rectangular ‘fort’ with concave sides at this location. It may have been strengthened by the garrisons occasionally noted at Clones in the early seventeenth century. In 1689 Jacobite forces made it their base when they attacked the settlers’ castle (MO011-015----), which is probably the last active use of the monument (Schlegel 1999, 38). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 26 January 2018 Revised by: Michael Moore

- MO011-010001 Church
Description
Situated towards the bottom of a S-facing slope and now within Clones town. St Tigearnach was descended through his father from the Uí Bhairrce, an obscure Leinster sept who have given their name to the Barony of Bargy in Wexford, but his mother was descended from kings of Oirghialla, at that time a prominent Ulster kingdom occupying the area between the Erne and the Upper Bann. According to what are probably fourteenth century and later Lives, he was educated at Whithorn in England and visited Rome where he collected relics of Ss Peter and Paul before establishing a monastery at Clones where he died in AD 549-50 (Ó Riain 2011, 572-3). Three bishops of Clogher after the first, St Macartin or Mac Caorthainn, were based at Clones rather than Clogher (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 164) and there are many references to Clones in the annals from 714. The monastery was plundered by Vikings in 836 and destroyed by fire in 1095 (McKenna 1920, vol. 2, 1-12), but probably from the 1140s it had been transformed into the Augustinian abbey of Ss Peter and Paul, under which name it is listed, separate from the church or parish church of Clones (MO011-010016-) in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire, 5, 212). A copy of the Gospels that had reputedly been given to St Mac Caorthainn by St Patrick was enshrined at Clones in the mid fourteenth century, according to inscriptions on its sides that refer to John O Karbri, abbot of Clones who died in 1353 and John Barrdan, the craftsman who made it. The Domhnach was normally held at Clogher, Co. Tyrone, and it is now part of the Royal Irish Academy collection in the National Museum of Ireland. (Shirley 1879, 169-72; McKenna 1920, 2, 36-49; Bourke 2006) By 1414 the abbey was so impoverished that indulgences were granted to fund necessary works to the church and cloister (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 164). It escaped the general Suppression of the monasteries in 1539-40, but c. 1586-7 it was identified by Sir Henry Duke of Castlejordan, Co. Meath (ME052-005----) who leased the premises and land from the Crown as the Manor of Clones. His widow, Mary, married again to Sir Francis Rushe, and the property descended through their daughter Elenor to the Barrett-Leonard family, with whom it remained into the nineteenth century. In a lease of 1629 the remains of the abbey are described as ‘containing half an acre, wherein standeth one church half covered with straw, the kitchen and divers other ruinous edifices, with one garden and orchard’ (Shirley 1879, 173-4; McKenna 1920, 2, 1-27) Of the church founded by St Tigearnach there is no trace. The church known as the Abbey is the chancel of a twelfth century Romanesque style of church, although very plain. It survives as the conserved walls of a structure (ext. dims 12.7m E-W; 6.15m N-S) but most of the N and E walls (H c. 1m) are rebuilt. There is a single round-headed window placed high in the S wall, and the arch (Wth 1.77m) in the W wall led to a nave that has disappeared. On the outer face of the N wall is a carving of a high cross (H 0.25m), much as the Clones high cross (MO011-010005-) appears today, and a shallow hollow (diam. 0.3m) in a nearby stone in the wall is where pilgrims are said to have rested their heads while touching the carving. This church is in a small graveyard (dims c. 25m E-W; c. 20m N-S) that was part of the main graveyard (MO011-010003-) c. 40m to the WSW before the N-S Whitehall St. severed the connection. The round tower (MO010-011002-) is incorporated into the wall of the larger graveyard at W and the stone shrine (MO011-010004-) is inside its S wall. (Wakeman 1875) The earliest map of Clones from c. 1590 (illustrated in Shirley 1879) shows a large church with a crossing tower and transepts close to the round tower. This would be the Augustinian abbey that required work to its cloister in 1414, and it was probably located in the large graveyard E of the round tower (MO011-010002-), as so many churches stand in that relation to their round towers, but of the Clones cloister or the Augustinian transept church there is no trace.

- MO011-010002 Round tower
Description
Situated towards the bottom of a S-facing slope, and incorporated into the perimeter of the graveyard (MO011-010003-) at W. The doorway and lights are completely plain with simple lintels, suggesting an early date. The lintelled and battered doorway, which entered at the first floor, is c. 1.5m the level of the graveyard and faces E. At this level the floor of the tower (int. diam. 2.7m; ext. diam. c. 4.9m) was supported on rebates but above this three floors were supported only partly on offsets and partly on beams set into the walls. The tower survives to the level of the cap (H c. 23m), which is missing. The interior was cleared of rubble in the 1840s when two archaeological floors, the lower with mortar, were noted. Beneath the mortar was a jumble of inhumed remains, undoubtedly disturbed in building the tower from a pre-existing cemetery. Archaeological testing (01E0879) c. 30m W of the round tower produced no related material (Clarke 2003) and further testing (05E0251) c. 35m SW of the tower had a similar negative result (McLoughlin, 2008).

- MO011-010003 Graveyard
Description
Situated towards the bottom of a S-facing slope. The original church of St Tigearnach (MO011-010001-) and perhaps other structures like the cloister and church of the Augustinian abbey of Ss Peter and Paul might have been located in the graveyard that incorporates the round tower (MO011-010002-) into its perimeter at W. This is now an oval area (max. dims c. 80m E-W; c. 40-45m N-S) defined by masonry walls with the stone shrine (MO011-010004-) inside the perimeter at S, but at one time it may have been much larger and included the small graveyard around the Romanesque church c. 40m to the ENE. The burials (MO011-010-009-; MO011-010010-) recovered between the graveyards demonstrate this. The headstone inscriptions in both graveyards have been recorded (Mulligan and McMahon 1984, 421-32) and they date generally from c. 1725 in both to c. 1850 at the Romanesque church and to c. 1900 in the main graveyard. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 29 November 2016
- MO011-010004 Shrine
Description
Wakeman (1875, 335) describes this feature as a single block of sandstone (dims 1.85m x 0.67m; H 0.94m), which is hollow and shaped into the form of a wooden house or church. It displays construction features such as barge-boards emphasising the junction of the gables and the roof and their extension into decorated finials. It has carvings of ecclesiastics on the gables and the walls, which are now very eroded. It was utilised in post-medieval burial rituals, and modern inscriptions have attempted to appropriate it to various factions with the result that it has split into two portions from rough treatment. It is probably the earliest surviving feature of St Tigearnach’s monastery, which could date to the period of the earliest stone churches in the ninth or tenth century, and it is now displayed inside the perimeter of the graveyard (MO011-010003-) at S.

- MO011-010006 Church
Description
Located at the crest of a S and E-facing slope overlooking the Diamond of Clones, which is to the SE and the site of St Tigearnach’s monastery (MO011-010001-) c. 300m to the S. A church at Clones, which seems to be separate from the monastery, is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas (Cal. doc. Ire, 5, 212), and the names of some of the clergy are known from 1365 to 1505 (McKenna 1920, 55-63; Leslie 1929, 140-1). It is probable that the medieval parish church was located where St Tigernach’s Church of Ireland church is today, and that the notorious and well-attested massacre of eighteen Scots settlers by hanging, which occurred in December, 1641 (Schlegel 1997, 86), was perpetrated in the associated graveyard (MO011-010011-). After the disturbances of 1689 the vestry books describe the roof, glass and seats as destroyed, and the church was described as unfit for use after a storm in 1698 (Shirley 1879, 325-6). The church may have been rebuilt around this time as the vestry books record that an attempt to have the parish centre moved away from Clones in 1715 was rebuffed when the church at Clones ‘already built’ was considered sufficient (ibid.). This church had a tower at the W end as depicted in a drawing of 1741. The present structure with a tower at the E overlooking the Diamond was built in 1822 (Lewis 1837, 1, 360) and extended in 1857-8 with the addition of short transepts when it served for a period as the Cathedral of Clogher. The headstone inscriptions have been recorded and date from 1730, but a stone (Wth 0.4m; H 0.28) with the date 1696 carved in relief that is now built into the graveyard wall may indicate the date of the building of this church.

Description
Discovered during the excavation of test trenches prior to development (Excavation Licence 00E0301). Two walls were exposed. One was interpreted as remains of the 17th/18th century curtain-wall of Clones Castle, which is unlikely, while the other is thought to be remains of a 17th/18th century tower wall.

Description
Discovered during test trenching associated with the North East Broadband Project, Phase II (Excavation Licence No. E2335). 'On the eastern side of McCurtain Street, to the north of the junctions with Ball Alley and Abbey Lane, articulated human remains were encountered 0.55m below street level. The remains are presumably associated with the 'wee abbey' located immediately to the east. By reducing the depth of the receiving trench in this area it was possible to preserve these burials in situ.' (Delaney 2009, 443) Date of upload: 14 April 2011
- MO011-010010 Burial
Description
Discovered during test trenching associated with the North East Broadband Project, Phase II (Excavation Licence No. E2335). 'During the course of monitoring at Ball Alley human remains were encountered 0.4m below the street surface along the southern side of the carriageway near the entrance gate to the graveyard. Due to the shallow depth of the burials and the presence of numerous pre-existing services on the northern side of the carriageway, it was not possible to re-route the trench. Subsequent excavation uncovered seven articulated human skeletons and a small quantity of disarticulated bone. All of the burials were extended in a supine position and were orientated east-west in the standard Christian burial manner'. (Delaney 2009, 443) Date of upload: 14 April 2011
- MO011-010011 Graveyard
Description
Located at the crest of a S and E-facing slope overlooking the Diamond of Clones, which is to the SE and the site of St Tigearnach’s monastery (MO011-010001-) c. 300m to the S. The medieval parish church of Clones (MO011-010006-) is within an oval graveyard (dims c. 55m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) defined by masonry walls, which has a subrectangular extension (dims c. 70m NE-SW: c. 20-35m NW-SE) off to the SW, which was established before 1835 (OS 6-inch map). The notorious and well-attested massacre of eighteen Scots settlers by hanging, which occurred in December, 1641 (Schlegel 1997, 86), was probably perpetrated in this graveyard. The headstone inscriptions dating from 1730 have been recorded (McMahon et al. 1983), and the datestone (MO011-010007-) is built into the inside of the perimeter wall at SE. Archaeological testing (06E0957) c. 20-150m NW of the graveyard produced no related material (Russell 2008). Archaeological monitoring (08E0358) of the reconstruction of a section (L 18m; ext. H 4m) of the graveyard wall at N recorded graveyard soil (D 1.4-1.8m) over natural. No archaeological features or artefacts were recorded, but the generally disarticulated human remains dislodged by the activity were re-buried in the graveyard (Campbell 2011).

- MO011-015 House - 17th century
Description
Situated just off the shelf of the lower Diamond at Clones on the E side. It is on an E-facing slope, and on the side of the Diamond that was known as Castle Street. The lands of the monastery of Clones (MO011-010001-) were leased to Sir Henry Duke of Castlejordan, Co. Meath (ME052-005----) in 1586 and to Sir Francis Rushe in 1603. Rushe, who was married to Duke’s daughter, Mary, would probably have made a greater effort to develop the property, especially after the death of Sir Brian MacMahon in 1622. In 1623 Rushe was granted a charter for a weekly market and two fairs each year, which would have boosted the development of the town. The castle, as it is always referred to, is first mentioned in a lease of 1636, but it was clearly well established by then. It mentions ‘.. the brew house, kitchen, stable, and half the bawn from the north side of the great door…’ (Schlegel 2003, 53). At the outbreak of rebellion in October 1641 Clones was occupied by rebels and, according to the deposition of Robert Aldrich, the Protestant settlers took refuge in the castle and successfully repulsed three assaults. However, they surrendered on promises of security only to find their homes had been pillaged. At least 30 Protestants were murdered by the rebels, but Aldrich and some others eventually escaped to Enniskillen (Shirley 1879, 174-5). After the battle of Clones in 1643 the rebels departed the area. The castle is represented as a tower on the Down Survey barony map (1656-8), and in the 1680s the ‘Great House’ was leased by the Protestant bishop of Clogher, but it is described as being in a deplorable state. In 1689 the castle was besieged again by a Jacobite force which was repulsed (Schlegel 1999, 56), but the castle was badly damaged. It is described in detail in letters of the tenant John Todd in 1739 as ‘one parlour, three bedchambers with fireplaces… three little rooms without fireplaces or furniture.., a cellar, a brewhouse, a dairy, a stable for eight horses but no coach house, and a gateway..’ (quoted in Ó Drisceoil 2016, 6). The first image of the castle is in a drawing of Clones dated 1741 viewed from the SE. It shows the castle as an oblong building of two stories and garrets on the W side of a rectangular yard which is not the full extent of the original bawn. The doorway is at the first floor reached by steps and it was probably built on a vaulted ground floor or cellar, which would only have narrow lights that are not shown. Just N of the castle is the gateway and there is an unreconstructed part of the castle N of this. A feature like a tower with a conical cap further N is probably the NW angle of the bawn. Gabled structures on the S side of the bawn and in the interior could constitute the brewhouse, stables and other outhouses mentioned in the documents. In 1744 a Mr. Jack Mack proposed to lease part of the castle garden known as the Tanyard and build a new front ‘100 feet long and 14 feet high’, but it is not known if he proceeded with this. He was in the linen trade and may have converted the SE angle of the bawn into the industrial storehouse that survives over this angle. In 1754 the castle was roofless and it was proposed to sell the timber and leave the walls as a ruin. The new road to Monaghan was built by 1766, destroying the N part of the Castle garden, and in 1767 five new houses, known as the Castle Tenement, were built on the site of the castle and these still form this side of the Diamond as a date-stone confirms. A plan of the town dated 1768 depicts the Diamond much as it is today. The gateway of the castle may have survived as references continue to be made to it and to the castle garden. Mr. George Knight of Clones, who has researched the castle through the documents quoted here, identified parts of the structure in buildings behind the E side of the Diamond during 2016, and this can be confirmed (Ó Drisceoil 2016). The positively identified remains consist of a vaulted structure on the S side of the bawn, including the S wall rising over it, and the bawn wall extending E from it to the SE angle of the bawn and then N (L 13m) to where there is a doorway. The vaulted structure (int. dims 10.1m E-W; 3.7m N-S) was largely filled with rubble but it has two narrow loops, probably musket loops, on the N wall and at least one on the S wall, but two other openings in the S wall and one in the N wall directed light downwards into the plank-centred vault. There is an inserted doorway to the outside in the S wall and two large openings in the E wall, but the original entrance might be an inaccessible doorway in the W wall. The first storey of this building has three narrow loops and an inserted fireplace with brick in the S wall, the only surviving part. The vaulted structure was built simultaneously with the remains of the bawn. There are three large slit-opes which could serve as musket-loops between the vaulted structure and the corner of the bawn to the E, and there are four slit-opes (H c. 1.1m; Wth c. 0.15m) splaying to width of c. 0.5m internally in each of two rows in the E wall (surviving H c. 4m). These are the only known remains of the bawn. See the attached view (MO012-015_1) from the Down Survey (1656-8) County map where the castle is represented as a tower.

Description
Situated just off the shelf of the lower Diamond at Clones on the E side. It is on an E-facing slope, and on the side of the Diamond that was known as Castle Street. Sir Francis Rushe, the son-in-law of Sir Henry Duke of Castlejordan, Co. Meath (ME052-005----) who had received the initial grant of the lands of Clones monastery (MO011-010001-) probably built the fortified house (MO011-015----) and its associated bawn after 1603. The bawn and its ‘great door’ or gate onto Castle St. are first mentioned in a lease of 1636 (Schlegel 2003, 53). In 1641the castle and bawn provided shelter to Protestants from the area before some were murdered and the survivors escaped to Enniskillen (Shirley 1879, 174-5). The first image of the castle is in a drawing of Clones dated 1741 viewed from the SE. It shows the castle on the W side of a rectangular yard which is not the full extent of the original bawn.
