Recorded monuments

• TS059-110 Castle - motte
  Description

  In gently undulating pasture on top of a natural gravel mound. The remains of a motte are defined by a steep scarp (Wth 4m; H 3m) from W-SE, with most of the S and central area (dims. c. 32m N-S; c. 30m E-W) quarried. There is a disturbed, uneven area in the NW sector, a plateau area (c. 26m NW-SE; 18m NE-SW) in the NE sector and short section of bank (Wth 8m; H 1.5m) at the SE. The mound not depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map but is depicted on the later (1904) ed. OS 6-inch map as an oval mound (dims. c. 52m N-S; c. 35m E-W) with a quarry immediately to the S, with a trackway leading to the quarry. According to Flynn (1913, 13), who published a plan and section of the monument, the range of gravel hills NW-N-NE of Tipperary town terminate 'in the little hill of Garranacanty whose extremity is defended at the summit by a well defined fosse and rampart, whilst the summit itself affords evidences of attempts to construct a mound or enclosure'.

• TS059-111 Enclosure
  Description

  In improved pasture, at base of a gentle N-facing slope. Circular area (dims. 15m E-W; 14m N-S) defined by denuded scarp (Wth 2.5m; H 1.2m) and a well preserved external fosse (Wth 6.35m; D 0.45m). There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 2.5m) at W. The interior, which is dish-shaped, is obscured by a dense clump of briars in the NW quadrant and there are mature thorn trees growing around the perimeter. A motte (TS059-110----) is c. 220m to the WSW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS059-132 Well
  Description

  A well is mentioned in a description of 'The United Parishes of Tamplenoe and Duneigore' in the Civil Survey 1654-56 as being 'by the sd brooke running betwixt the halfe colpe of Ballyhosty in this parish and the sixth pt colpe of Garrankanty afforesd to a well called Tobburkissane on pt of the lands of Garrankanty afforesd and from that well to a hill called Knockiteane along by a ditch meareing the same & this parish' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 41). On the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map there is a well at the NW of Garranacanty townland, on the border with Friarsfield and Drumclieve townlands which may be this well. It is not depicted on the subsequent (1904) edition. The OSi Ortho aerial photograph (2005) indicates that the area of well has been planted with forestry.

  Description

  In pasture, on generally level area of gentle W-facing slope. Monument identified on aerial photograph (CUCAP 13 July 1966, APA 19; CUCAP 7 Oct. 1969, AYO 43).
