• TN014-026 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a S-facing slope in rolling pastureland. A small, roughly circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) with a slight hint of an external fosse. There is some external stone revetment on the bank, particularly in the NW quadrant, with large boulders along the base. The bank is quite denuded in the E sector but is otherwise in good condition. The interior slopes slightly to the S. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

• TN015-009 Linkardstown burial
  Description

  National Monument No. 573. Situated on the NW shoulder of an E-W ridge in farmland. A megalithic structure is exposed in a round mound which in turn is encircled by two low wide banks with internal ditches giving an overall diameter of 90m. The structure was uncovered during bulldozing operations in 1980 after which the site was excavated (Manning 1985). The core, 18 to 20m in diameter, overlain by a covering of clay. The megalithic structure stands eccentrically within the cairn. It is trapezoidal in plan, some 5m long, and narrows from 2.3m wide at the SE or inner end to 1.3m at the open NW end. It was built around a limestone erratic which has a sloping upper surface and serves as a floorstone. Inward-leaning slabs, three to the NE and two to the SW, form the sides of the structure. The latter two stones were quarried from the top of the erratic that now acts as a floorstone. Two stones form the inner end of the structure. There is a stone at right angles to the SW side of the structure 1.2m from the inner end. This, in combination with a rough wall, divides it in two. That part of it forward of the dividing wall was filled with cairn stones among which animal bones and the bones of a child less than a year old were found. The inner end of the structure, roofed by a number of slabs, served as a burial chamber. The skeletal remains of an adult male and a child were found here along with a variety of animal bones, a bone point, some chert flakes and Neolithic pottery, including sherds bearing channelled decoration. Radiocarbon dating indicates a calendar date of c.3,350 BC for the burial in the chamber (Brindley and Lanting 1989-90, 3).

• TN015-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the S end of a low N-S ridge in meadow. Depicted on the 1st and latest ed. OS 6-inch maps as a roughly circular enclosure and visible on aerial photographs taken in April 1974 (GSIAP, R 192/3) as a cropmark. The site is levelled though visible as a roughly circular rise of ground (diam. c. 27m E-W). A field fence extending NE-SW transects the NW quadrant.

• TN015-041 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a SW-facing slope in woodland. Not depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. A circular area (diam. 31m N-S; 32m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth c. 2.3m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.9m) and outer fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.5m) which is less pronounced at N. The interior slopes slightly to the S where there is a causewayed entrance (Wth 2.5m). Some boulders are dumped along the edge of the fosse at W. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN015-042 Megalithic structure
  Description

  Situated in a grove of trees on low, uneven outcrop among ruined walls of farm-buildings and paddocks. A chamber-like structure, open to the ENE, 1.7m long, 1.5m in maximum width and 0.8m high, is built against the side of a slight but abrupt rise in the rocky ground. Some 3m in front of its open end there is a transversely set row of large stones. Two stones form the W side of the structure and one long stone the opposite side. The latter curves around to close part of the southern or rear end of the structure the closure of which is completed by drystone-walling. The roof, formed by a number of overlapping slabs, is level with the top of the low rise alongside. The awkard siting of this feature, its location in a disused farmyard complex, and the lack of clear diagnostic features raise uncertainty as to its nature and antiquity. (Manning 1983-4, 45-8).

• TN015-043001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a SE-facing slope in a wooded area. A slightly oval-shaped enclosure enclosed by a bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.8m), and a wide, deep, outer fosse (Wth 5.5m). A low, earthen bank, on an E-W axis, bisects the W half of the site. An internal stone feature at W forms a ramp up to the top of the bank and there is an entrance feature at E. The site has been planted with beech trees and was probably adapted slightly and reused as tree-ring. A rectangular enclosure (TN015-043002) identified on an aerial photograph taken in 1974 (GSIAP, R 192/3) adjoins the ringfort to the SE.

• TN015-044 House - 19th century
  Description

  House of 19th-century date with no earlier features apparent internally or externally. Craig describes the house as nineteenth century 'but said to be very complex' (1972, 36, Unpublished) and Bence-Jones similarly ascribes a 19th-century date to the building but adds 'said to incorporate older building' (1988, 12). A comprehensive survey of the house carried out in 2024 found no evidence of any fabric pre-dating the construction of the house in c.1800 (Gregory 2024). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly

• TN015-045 Moated site
  Description

  Situated on a W-facing slope in gently undulating pastureland. Depicted on the 1st and 2nd ed. OS 6-inch maps as an irregular rectangular enclosure with trees growing in the centre. Visited c.1985 and described as a possible moated site (pers. comm. C. Manning). Site now levelled with no remains visible at ground level. 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).

• TN015-048001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on a small, flooded island, close to the N shore of Lough Ourna. Approached by boat, all that remains visible are two wall fragments protruding above the water level. By the mid-seventeenth century the tower house was being described as 'the stumpe of a castle' and 'John Grace of Ballylensy Esqr. Irish Papist' is listed as proprietor (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 342). The island (dims. 20.2m N-S; 17.76m E-W) was delimited or retained by a ruined, narrow, drystone wall (max. H 1m) with a landing at N. It is possible that the island is an artificial construction which may originally have been a crannóg (TN015-048002-). Of the tower house itself only the NE angle (max. H 4.05m) survives, composed of roughly coursed limestone and sandstone rubble. There are the remains of a pointed doorway in the N wall giving access to the ground floor, with a straight stair rising to the W. Also visible within the angle are a garderobe chute and internal partition wall. Remains of springers on the internal face of the N wall indicate a former E-W vault over the ground floor. (FitzPatrick 1985, vol. 2, part 4, 44-8) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN015-048002 Crannog
  Description

  Situated close to the N shore of Lough Ourna. An island (dims. 20.2m N-S; 17.76m E-W) delimited or retained by a ruined, narrow, drystone wall (max. H 1m) with a landing area at N. The island may be entirely of artificial construction and was probably re-fortified when the tower house (TN015-048001) was constructed.
