Recorded monuments

• TN020-012 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on rock outcrop in an area of scrub woodland. Not depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. The wall-footings of a possible cashel are visible in an area of rock outcrop covered in scrub. Impossible to examine the site due to the dense cover of vegetation. 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

• TN020-160 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Children's Burial Ground in Gorteennakilla (Ghoirtín na Cille / Church of the Little Field) known locally as the 'Little Kyle' consists of a roughly rectangular-shaped area (dims. 36.5m N-S x 51.2m E-W) of rock outcrop enclosed by a stone wall (H 5-6 inches / 0.15m) (Power 1998, 23-4). Depicted as an area of rock outcrop contained within a dotted outline border on the 1838 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Shown as a sub-rectangular shaped field attached to S side of building at NW corner on revised 25-inch OSi map. According to Power (1998, 24) in the SE quadrant of the enclosure are the wall footings of a circular-shaped drystone building which he identified as the remains of a clochán. He also suggested the presence of a small church or oratory measuring internally 12 feet (3.65m). To the W of the clochán area two rows of uninscribed sandstone headstones marking the graves of unbaptised children which are aligned on a N-S axis (ibid.). Power recorded that tradition that the burial ground had been used by people from County Limerick during the night as late as 1930. See attached sketch plan of children's burial ground taken from Power 1998. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 21 April 2021
