Recorded monuments

• TS082-001 Enclosure
  Description

  On gradual SW-facing slope in undulating, hilly terrain. It is depicted on the 2nd (1904-05) ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure which has been truncated in the N quadrant by an E-W field boundary and in the S quadrant by a NE-SW field boundary. Since then a public road has been constructed which runs E-W up to the E quadrant of the enclosure and then turns sharply northward. The enclosure is now within an overgrown area at the right angle in the road. A private roadway to a cottage runs past the SW quadrant. There is no clear trace of the enclosure. There is a lot of dumped stone along the edge of the 'grove' and ground disturbance in the interior. There are conifers growing in the interior, together with scrub, brambles and nettles. The monument was probably altered when the road was constructed and again modified when the bungalow and garden were built immediately to the NE of the enclosure.

• TS082-002 House - 17th century
  Description

  On an E-facing slope in undulating terrain. Loughlohery tower house (TS082-004----) is visible c. 400m to the SW. Scrub and nettles in area of former house. Area scattered with scrap metal. In the Civil Survey (1654-6) there is a reference to 'a house and a garden in the Towne of Loghlochry' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 350, 410), this may refer to this house. On the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map a house is depicted here called 'Loughlohery Castle' with laid-out gardens. The house was demolished c.1980s using dynamite. According to local information the house was built of red-brick and had not been occupied in living memory. A wall and gable of an outbuilding survive, constructed of limestone. There is also an adjacent well which is built of red-brick to a depth of c. 6m, below which is stone. The well is now covered with a concrete slab.

• TS082-003 Church
  Description

  On a gentle W-facing slope of ridge, in rolling pasture. Roughly centrally placed within a fairly rectangular graveyard (TS082-003001-) there is a simple undivided church (14.47m E-W x 7.4m N-S externally), aligned E-W, composed of limestone rubble, roughly coursed. The church has been cleaned and repair work has been carried out in recent years. There is a large heap of rubble piled up in the interior in the SW corner, with smaller stones piled in the NW corner. The N wall is largely collapsed, with only lower portions surviving for most of the wall. The SE, SW and NW angles have been rebuilt. The E gable (0.88m T) survives to a height of c. 5.5m above the exterior and has a centrally placed, single-light, round-headed window with chequer-board decoration on the upper S jamb. Internally, N of the E window and 0.8m above int. ground level, a well-cut limestone corbel (0.11m T x 0.39m Wth) projects out by 0.33m. It has been suggested that this was a statue support (OPW Correspondence). The S wall (H 2.3m above ext. ground level; T 0.86m) has the remains of a window at the E end, but only the W splay partially survives. At the W end of the S wall there is a large break in masonry and a door jamb crudely inserted at the base of the W side of this break. A later vault, now grassed over, has been built up against the W gable (H 4.3m above ext. ground level) which has no visible features. There is a gap at the W end of the N wall (Wth 0.98m), probably the doorway. At the NE angle there is one coping stone in situ, terminating the gable 2.85m above the external ground level.

• TS082-003001 Graveyard
  Description

  On a gentle W-facing slope of ridge, in rolling pasture. Loughlohery medieval church (TS082-003----) is roughly centrally placed within a fairly rectangular graveyard (dims. 27m N-S; 50m E-W). The graveyard has a very manicured appearance with very few headstones. The stone wall around the graveyard has been crudely pointed in places. Headstones date to the late 18th and early 19h centuries, the earliest visible dates to 1790. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 January 2014

• TS082-004 Castle - tower house
  Description

  On a slight rise off the crest of an E-facing slope in gently undulating pastureland. The Civil Survey 1652-54 records the proprietor as Robert Mageon of Loghlochry Gent. and Irish Papist and that 'Upon the sd lands of Loghlochry Keatinge stands the walls of a burned Castle, a thatcht house, and some cabbins' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 358). In the OS Letters the castle is called 'Loughloghra old Castle' as opposed to 'Loughlohery Keating Castle' on the OS 6-inch map (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 136-7). Du Noyer (1840 vol. 2, 45 (i) unpublished RSAI) depicts the tower house with an outbuilding on the E side and a small turret to the SE. The small square tower to the SE has four, high, steep-pitched gables, one with chimney stack. One single-light at second floor level. A small tower/castle is depicted in the distance. This four-storey tower house with attic (ext. dims. 11.8m N-S; 10m E-W) is built of limestone rubble, roughly coursed, with base batter (H 2.8m; Wth 0.3m) and well-cut quoins which have been robbed out up to second-floor level. It is lit by flat-headed single and two-light windows with hood-mouldings. The tower was defended by double shot-holes and a bartizan at the NE and SW angles. There is a lozenge-shaped opening just below parapet level on the E wall which may be a gun-loop. Some large gutter-stones also survive at parapet level. Each wall is surmounted by a gable, though the N and S gables are more larger, with chimney stacks surviving on all but the S gable. The tower house was entered through a doorway at the N end of the E wall, though only the S half survives with a yett-hole in the S jamb. This led to a small lobby which was defended by a murder-hole, with mural stairs to the S and a doorway opposite the entrance, now largely gone, giving access to the main ground-floor chamber. This chamber was lit by three lights, in the S, W and N walls, the opening in the S wall broken out with a later doorway inserted. The first floor was carried on wooden beams supported by three corbels on each of the E and W walls and corresponding put-logs in the N and S walls. It was accessed from the mural stairs in the E wall, lit by a window in the N wall and has a centrally placed fireplace in the E wall with remains of polished limestone surrounds. This chamber gave access to two mural chambers, one in the E and the other in the S wall, both vaulted. The main chamber has a barrel-vaulted roof. The second floor was accessed from the mural stairs which had turned to continue up the S wall. It was lit by windows in each wall and provided strong defence for the tower house with double shot-holes in the NE, SW and NW angles and a single shot-hole at the N end of the E wall. There is another angle loop with shot-holes in the SE angle which contains a spiral stairs which rises up to third-floor level. There is a large fireplace in the W wall. The third floor rested on offsets on the N, E and W walls and floor joists on the S wall. It was lit by single-light windows in the N and W walls and two-light windows in the E wall. It has two fireplaces, that in the S wall with crude limestone surrounds and probably a wooden lintel, as there are corbel supports on either side, while the fireplace in the N wall is of polished limestone with an overmantel. The presence of two fireplaces suggests that this floor may have partitioned into two chambers. The attic floor rested on corbels on the E and W walls, with corresponding beam-holes in the N and S walls, and was lit by a single-light window in the N gable.

• TS082-005 Castle - tower house
  Description

  On an E-facing slope, just off the crest of a ridge. Loughlohery Castle, a tower house (TS082-004----), is clearly visible c.200m to NW. According to the landowner the castle was knocked some fifty years ago in the 1940s and the stone was carried off. There are some stone foundations visible, but the area is largely covered by scrub, with some limestone rubble lying on the surface. The field boundaries have changed since the 1907 OS, and the N edge of the site is cut by a field boundary running E-W. Approx. 1.2m S of the field boundary there is a small clump of mortared masonry 0.7m x 0.5m. In the Civil Survey 1654-56 Robert Mageon of Loghlochry Gent. and Irish Papist is described as proprietor and 'Upon the sd lands of Loghlochrybegg stands the walls of another burned castle' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 358). The OS Letters erroneously refer to Coolbane Castle as Loughloghre Keating Castle and appear to have mixed up the E wall with the W wall. It is described as a ruined building with only the E wall and portion of the N and S wall surviving, 'The east wall is about fifty feet high [15.24m] and has a stone chimney on its top and is rough cast outside. It is plastered inside, where it measures forty feet [12m] in length. The portion of the south wall attached to it projects beyond its bare surface to west but five feet [1.5m], and is five feet ten inches [1.75m] in thickness, retaining the original height or nearly so. The portion of the north wall attached to it measures thirty five feet [10.66] in length, seven feet [2.13m] in thickness and remains the original height. Part of a stone arch on which a floor rested at a considerable height in the building remains still attached to east and north walls, and under the place are seen in the walls the places of joists which were fixed in them for supporting a loft' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 137). The tower house was inspected in 1934 and appears to have remained unchanged since the OS survey. It is described as a 'three storey type with rough stone vault over the second storey'. In the accompanying plan and sketch drawings there are two flat-headed windows in the W wall [ext. L 34'6-inch/10.5m] at ground floor level with internal and external splays. There is a garderobe chute in the SW angle which exited at the W end of the S wall. The S wall [ext. L 26'6-inch/8m] has an internal embrasure. There appears to be a wall projecting externally from the W end of the N wall, possibly the remains of the bawn wall. There is a flat-headed window with hood-moulding at third floor level in the W wall which is surmounted by a tall chimney stack. The sketches appear to indicate the remains of a bartizan at the SW angle, only the corbel support surviving (OPW files, Williams J.H. 11/7/1934). Based on this report Leask dated the tower house to the 16th or early 17th century (OPW files, 13/7/1934). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS082-010 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On S facing slope, off hill crest, in undulating terrain under pasture. Small quarry located c. 20m to ENE. Loughlohery tower house (TS082-004----); Nicholastown tower house (TS082-043----) and Ballindoney tower house (TS082-059----) are visible, the former to N and two latter to SE.

• TS082-069 House - 17th century
  Description

  House described as 'a very old building' in OS Namebooks, 1840. The house is six-bay, two storey, one room deep (int. Wth 5.3m) with front wall 0.73m D. There are four substantial chimneys. The house has been shorted, it originally extended further N, the shell of this room survives with a fireplace in the gable. The fenestration is irregular. Sash windows have been replaced. The windows at first-floor level rise up under the eaves, as did previous sash windows. The present doorway in the front facade does not appear to be in its original position. The door embrasure splays internally, suggesting it was originally a window embrasure. The stairway, currently offset to N of doorway, has been altered. The complete house is c. 25m long. In the external face of the S gable there is an indication of a large blocked-up opening - like a carriage way. Internally, in order to enter the room at the S end of the house it is necessary to step down into the room. The present fireplace is this room was taken from the former ballroom. A range of buildings extends E from the S end of the house. This range contains, from E to W: the Steward's accommodation, a former ballroom with fireplace at E end and moulded cornice and a passage from exterior to courtyard, with a door leading into the ballroom. The range was accessible at first-floor level through a doorway, now blocked up. The house may be late 17th/early 18th-century date. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
