• TN022-035001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on a low rise of ground in undulating countryside with a nearby church and graveyard (TN022-054----) to the NW. A small square tower house (ext. dims. 7.6m NE-SW; 6m NW-SE; wall T 1.2m) four storeys high with a gable-ended roof over the third floor, built of roughly coursed rubble with a slight base-batter. This tower house was later modified to become a small house. A flat-headed doorway was inserted in the centre of the SE wall. The original doorway (now blocked) was in the centre of the NE wall and was protected externally by a machicolation at wall-walk level. It lead into a lobby from which spiral stairs in the E angle and the main ground floor were accessed. The spiral stairs are completely blocked up between ground and first-floor level with the remaining steps broken out up to second-floor level. The ground floor has a barrel vault with wicker-centring orientated on NE-SW axis. At first-floor level a fireplace is inserted in the NW wall. The original garderobe chute which exits at the base of this wall was used as a flue and a tall rectangular chimney stack was added to facilitate this fireplace. The garderobe chamber at first-floor level and possibly that at second-floor level were shortened as a result of the modifications. The first floor has a small window in the centre of the SW gable, a destroyed central window in the SE wall and an enlarged window, now blocked up, in the centre of the NE gable. The second floor has an enlarged window with a brick arch in the centre of the NE gable, a window hidden by ivy, probably original, in the SW gable, a blocked-up window in the centre of the NW wall and a destroyed central window in the SE wall. The third floor has a blocked-up window in the centre of the NE gable and a window in the NW wall and at the S end of the SE wall. The floors at second- and third-floor level were wooden and were supported by corbels on the side walls and wall-plates with sockets at the gable ends. The corbels of a destroyed bartizan at wall-walk level at the S angle correspond with a curving niche in the interior at third-floor level. Nineteenth-century outhouses are attached to the NE wall of the tower. A demesne wall to the E of the tower probably replaced an earlier bawn wall.

• TN022-035002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Listed in the SMR (1992) and RMP (1998) as a dwelling. Field inspection established that there are no surface remains of any dwelling in the area marked on OS 6-inch map as 'Aghnameadle Court (in Ruins)'. 'Aghnameadle Court (in Ruins)' appears to be a large house on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map but this is has decreased in size on the 2nd ed. OS 6-inch map. It was located to the E of the tower house (TN022-035001). A demesne wall to the E of the tower house probably replaced an earlier bawn wall.

• TN022-077 Megalithic structure
  Description

  Situated in slight hollow in undulating countryside with Ollatrim River 50m to NE and low hillock immediately to N. Field boundary running ENE-WSW immediately to SSE. Present remains consist of two upright orthostats their long axis aligned NE-SW standing 90cm apart with the remains of a large displaced capstone (dims. 1.75m x 1.4m x 0.45m) resting on E orthostat (dims. H 0.7m x L 1.17m x T. 0.3m) forming a small rectangular chamber (approx. dims. L 2.8m x Wth 0.9m). A second large recumbent stone immediately to N may be the remains of a collapsed side-stone or capstone. A semi-circular line of low stones immediately to N may represent kerbstones of a low mound (approx. diam. c. 3m). Possible remains of a megalithic tomb which has been partially destroyed. On the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map the possible tomb is standing inside an irregular-shaped grove of trees which have since been removed.
