Recorded monuments

• TN009-007 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on natural rock outcrop on high ground in an upland area with extensive views. The poorly preserved remains of a two-storey tower house (ext. dims. 9.95m NW-SE; 8m NE-SW; wall T 1.8m), originally three storeys high, built with roughly coursed limestone rubble with base batter. Only the NW and NE walls survive intact with partial wall returns of SE and SW walls. There are a series of smaller chambers over the lobby on the upper floor levels. The main entrance was probably located in the centre of the SE wall which led to a lobby and stairs in the S angle. The ground-floor appears to have consisted of two barrel-vaulted chambers with a small vaulted chamber in the E angle, possibly the remains of a guardroom, with a small wall cupboard and a slit ope visible. The main ground-floor chamber has two destroyed windows, one each in the NE and NW walls, set into large segmental-arched embrasures with wicker-centring. Large wall cupboards occupy the N and W angles of the main chamber. The stairs led to a mural passage in the SW wall which gave access to a garderobe in the NW wall lit by an angle loop in the W angle of the tower. The garderobe chute outlet consists of a double chute which supported a second garderobe at the W end of the NW wall at second-floor level. The main chamber at first-floor level is lit by a single-light ogee-headed window in the NE wall and by another window in the NW wall (now destroyed). The remains of a possible small chamber at first-floor level in the destroyed SE over the lobby, may have contained the murder-hole to protect the lobby.

  Description

  Site is indicated as a large circular enclosure on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. Hachures on 1903 ed. OS 6-inch map represent natural cliff face of a quarry in an area of rock outcrop.

• TN009-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a S-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area. A partially destroyed enclosure covered mainly by silage and partially quarried at S. Impossible to examine due to the condition of the site. Described by Wheeler (1967) as a large, double-banked ringfort with farmyard immediately to the SW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).

• TN009-016 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on natural rock outcrop on a natural island surrounded by poorly drained marshy land. A well-preserved four-storey tower house (ext. dims. 9.35m N-S; 11.5m E-W; wall T 2.1m) built with roughly coursed limestone rubble with base-batter. The main entrance consists of a two-centred doorway with punch-dressed chamfered jambs located at the centre of the E wall. Two yett-holes are visible with one at the apex and the other on the S jamb. This entrance gives access to a lobby, protected by a murder-hole, with a guardroom in the NE angle, spiral stairs in the SE angle and the main ground-floor chamber to the W. The ground-floor is lit by simple slit opes set into large segmental-arched embrasures with good evidence of wicker-centring. There are wooden ceilings over the ground and first floors with a barrel vault over the second floor. The first floor is accessed from the SE angle and is lit by simple flat-headed opes. A mural passage in the S wall at first-floor level gives access to a garderobe in the S end of the W wall which is lit by an angle loop in the SW angle. There is a slop-stone under a window in the mural passage. The small first-floor chamber over the lobby, reached from the spiral stairs, gives access to the murder-hole. A series of small chambers over the lobby are located at each floor level. The second floor is lit by twin-light ogee-headed windows in the centre of the E and W walls with a poorly preserved fireplace at the E end of the N wall. There is a slop-stone in the S wall directly inside the doorway to the second floor. A lintelled mural passage in the S wall at mezzanine level between the second and third-floor levels gives access to a garderobe in the SW angle with a well-preserved flagstone seat surround. The garderobe chute outlet is at the S end of the W wall at ground-floor level. The second floor with barrel vaulted roof is accessed from the SE angle with a transomed and mullioned ogee-headed window in the centre of the S wall with a two-centred arched embrasure. There are twin-light ogee-headed windows with decorated spandrels in the centre of the N wall and a single-light ogee-headed window in the E and W walls. A secret chamber is accessed off the N splay of the W window with a drop-hole giving access to a chamber in the NW angle. A possible destroyed fireplace at the E end of the N wall utilises the second-floor flue. The battlemented wall-walk is accessed from the SW angle via a doorway set into the S splay of the E window embrasure. A single-light flat-headed window on the E wall at ground-floor level has several mason's marks in the form of an hour-glass on the jambstones of the window. All the main chambers were accessed via two-centred doorways opened from inside the main chamber at each floor level, with evidence of hanging-eyes still in situ.
