• TS070-001 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope. Slight visible surface trace of oval area (dims. 24m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by slight trace of levelled bank, most notable along N-arc. Identified by aerial photograph (CUCAP AYO 67, 10.7.1969) as a circular anomaly. Depicted on the 1st edition OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). According to local information, monument was levelled in recent decades. Church (TS070-002001-) c. 170m to S. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS070-002001 Church
  Description

  Just below the crest of a broad, flat-topped hill, on a gentle NE-facing slope in undulating terrain, under pasture. This rectangular church (dims. 8.8m N-S; 16m E-W) is very poorly preserved, being defined by an earthen bank (Wth crest 0.7m; Wth base 2.2m; H above int. 0.52; H above ext. 0.65m) with a slightly more pronounced fall to the exterior (H 1m) at the NE angle. There are rubble stones protruding from the bank and whitethorn trees growing along the inner face of the E bank and in the NW corner. There is no clear entrance feature. According to the OS Namebooks (O'Donovan et. al c. 1840) 'There are merely the walls now remaining. The font is in the centre of the ruins'. However, there is no indication of a font (TS070-002002-) and the current owners were not aware of a font associated with this church. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS070-003001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'James Butler of Derrilouskan Irish Papist' was proprietor in 1640 and at time there were 'on the sd lands a Castle & two stone houses habitable' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 187). The present Derryluskan House was built c. 1790 and was at least three-storeys over base, however the upper storeys were removed in 1947 leaving the present single-storey over basement house. There is a lot of dressed stone incorporated into the present house, including late medieval stone work with punch-tooling, some with drafted margins and later stone work with reamed surfaces. There is a limestone three-centred doorway (TS070-003003-) c. 30m E of the rear of the house. It is currently standing in field, on a very gentle E facing slope, under pasture. This doorway (H 1.94m; Wth 1.2m) is decorated with a double ovolo moulding of late 16th/early 17th century date which terminates with a horizontal rope moulding. There is no visible trace of a structure associated with this doorway and it likely that the doorway was re-used as a garden feature for Derryluskan house when the late 16th/17th house century fell into ruin or was demolished. The 'Castle' referred to in the Civil Survey may have been a fortified house or may have been an earlier castle incorporated or adjacent to one of the stone houses mentioned above. Though its precise location is unknown the re-use of late medieval stonework in the present house suggests that the castle was on or near the present Derryluskan House.
