• TS075-048 Historic town
  Description

  On the E bank of the River Suir. In the 3rd century AD there is a reference in the Book of Lecan to the destruction of Cahir fort (Burke 1909, 272) and there are other references to the fort in Brehon law texts (ibid.). In c. 1169 Cahir was granted to William de Braos and in 1215 the ownership of Cahir was granted to Philip Worcester and eventually passed, by his grand-daughters marriage, to the Birminghams, who possessed it until 1332 (ibid.). In 1375 the manor of Cahir was bestowed on James Butler, Earl of Ormond, in whose family it remained almost continuously up to the 19th century (ibid.). Cahir Castle was attacked in 1599 and captured by Elizabethan forces under the Lord Lieutenant Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 132-3). In 1647 Murrough "the Burner" O'Brien, Parliamentarian Lord President of Munster (Inchiquin), captured the castle which in 1650 was surrendered to Cromwell (ibid.). Upstanding monuments in the town include the castle (TS075-048001-); the abbey (TS075-048002-); the church (TS075-048003-); a holy well (TS075-048004-); a bridge ((TS075-048005-); a stone head (TS075-048006-); a stone plaque ((TS075-048008-); mills (TS075-048009-); weirs (TS075-048010-) and a graveyard (TS075-048011-). The precise location and extent of the medieval and early modern town of Caher is unknown. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS075-048001 Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle
  Description

  On an island of rock outcrop in the River Suir, S of Castle Street. This castle was built in the 13th century either by Philip Worcester (died c. 1218) or his nephew and heir William who was granted Philip's lands in 1225 (Burke 1909, 272-3). It passed by marriage to the Berminghams, who lost it to the Crown in 1332 (ibid. 273). In 1375 it was granted to James Butler, the third Earl of Ormond and the Butlers continued to live in Cahir castle until the 18th century despite fluctuations in the family fortune (Manning and O'Shaughnessy 1999, 6-16). In 1599 the Earl of Essex, with the aid of newly developed artillery including cannon, culverin and two 'petayers' or mortars, captured the hitherto impregnable castle as part of a campaign to quash an Irish rebellion (Cairns 1985, 110). The castle was again captured in 1647 by Lord Inchiquin on behalf of the Cromwelliams and had to be retaken by Cromwell in 1650 (Manning and O'Shaughnessy 1999, 10). In the 18th century the family left the castle vacant and moved to a new house (now Cahir House Hotel) facing the main square of the town (Bence-Jones 1988, 53). Between 1840 and 1846 repair works were carried out on the castle by the then owner Richard Butler of Glengall and his architect William Tinsley (Manning and O'Shaughnessy 1999, 15-16). No further work was carried out until the castle was taken into State care as a National Monument in 1964. Although Cahir castle was built in the 13th century, its appearance today is largely due to 15th and 16th-century rebuilding and 19th and 20th-century restoration. Within the curtain wall, which itself incorporated six mural towers/turrets, there is a great hall, a square keep and three courts. The keep was actually the gatehouse of the original 13th-century castle and bawn, the latter now forming the inner court. The keep was originally two storeys high. The arched gateway through the centre of the ground floor has a vaulted chamfer on either side and a large chamber above at first-floor level. In the 15th/16th century the gate of the keep was blocked up and a gate built immediately E of the keep. At this stage an extra floor was inserted at first-floor level the gatehouse was also heightened by the addition of battlements with a gabled attic within. Also during this period a projecting square turret was built onto the SW angle. The 15th/16th-century doorway, placed at the W end of the N wall, is protected by a machicolation at parapet level, there is evidence for an external yett and on entering the lobby it was defended by a cross-loop facing the doorway. The flat-headed single and two-light windows with hood-mouldings date to the 16th-century modifications. On the E wall of the keep there is an unusual incised carving depicting the interlocked outline of two heads and a central figure (Holland 1988, 15-17). The great hall was also entirely rebuilt in the 19th century, only the present W wall is early. The S wall may have originally extended further back incorporating the large fireplace to the W of the N face of the keep, though it is also probably that the fireplace was built to serve a kitchen beyond the hall (Manning and O'Shaughnessy 1999, 34). A large three-storey square tower at the NW angle of the bawn dates from the 15th century (Manning and O'Shaughnessy 1999, 32). The original entrance, which is in the S wall and entered from the hall, was protected by a murder-hole (ibid.). The ground floor is vaulted with two early gun-loops in the N wall and the first floor has a fireplace and a garderobe chamber (ibid.). The circular tower to the N of the entrance gate and the ground floor of the NE tower in the inner court, appear to have been prisons. To the W of the NE tower there are steps leading down to a well tower, an important feature in times of seige. The rock-cut steps seem to be early in date, though the upper portion of the tower is probably 17th century. The house known as 'Cahir Cottage' (TS075-048016-) and the conical roofs of the towers at the S end of the outer court were built in the 1840s.

• TS075-048003 Church
  Description

  On the N side of Old Church Street, on a precipitous N-facing slope, with a good view of the town to the N and W. It is aligned E-W and occupies the E end of the graveyard. The medieval parish church of Cahir is described in the Civil Survey of 1654-6 as having 'a house roome on the North of the sd Church' (Simington 1931, vol.1, 359) which was probably a residential building added onto the church proper. The church was in use for Protestant worship until 1820 (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 133). It is a much-modified multiperiod structure. It has a long rectangular plan and is constructed primarily of limestone, though the earlier features are of sandstone. The church appears to be of 13th-century date with later rebuilding in the 15th/16th century. Early features include two sandstone ogee-headed windows in the E gable and the probable remains of the S jamb of a central window. This window was replaced in the 15th/16th century by a mullion and transom four-light limestone window which has three interlace patterns carved on the external side. The earliest doorway appears to be in the S wall. This sandstone, pointed doorway is now blocked up and only visible externally to a height of 0.86m above ground level. The church was later altered and divided to accommodate both Protestant and Catholic worship. Notable features include a bellcote on top of the W gable, a corbel on the S wall with a carved human head and a piscina below. There are a number of loose architectural fragments, both in the church itself and reused as grave-markers in the graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS075-048006 Bridge
  Description

  Immediately N of Cahir Castle, forming the part of Bridge Street which crosses the River Suir. The bridge at Cahir is depicted in Pacata Hibernia published in 1633 (O'Grady 1896, vol. 1, 53) and actually consisted of three sections of bridge which connects the E bank of the Suir, the town side, with the castle on an island in the river, another section which connects this island with another island to the N, and a third section which connects this latter island with the W river bank. The 'Bridge of Cahyr' is mentioned in the Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 260). The present bridge, constructed of limestone rubble, still spans these three sections of the river. It is an 18th-century bridge but may incorporate earlier fabric. The mid-section is the largest and consists of six round arches with dressed voussoirs, parapets with rounded-limestone copings and V-shaped cutwaters upstream to the N. The E section consists of three segmental arches with dressed voussoirs and cut-limestone copings. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS075-048007 Architectural fragment
  Description

  Inserted in the W end of the S wall of a private dwelling, number 7, Castle St., Cahir, at second-floor level (the house is three-storeys over basement). A large sculpted male head, probably of 15th-century date, with almond-shaped eyes with eyebrows, long aquiline nose, thin-lipped mouth, large jug ears sticking out on either side and ribbing to indicate hair. The head has been painted white. It is similar in style to the carved stone heads which form the terminals for the upper internal mouldings of some of the windows of the Augustinian priory (TS075-048002-) which is c. 400m to the N. It may have come from the Augustinian priory and was incorporated in this later building. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS075-048011 Graveyard
  Description

  On the N side of Old Church Street, on a precipitous N-facing slope, with a good view of the town to the N. The graveyard is orientated roughly E-W with the church (TS075-048003-), also orientated E-W at the E end of the graveyard. The graveyard, enclosed by a stone wall, is roughly rectangular in plan (dims. c. 26m N-S at W end and c. 34m N-S at E end; c. 76m E-W) with the entrance at the S end of the W wall. There are a number of loose architectural fragments reused as grave-markers in the graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS075-048016 House - 18th/19th century

Eastmost bay projects forward. Hipped slate roof, pitched to projecting bay with rendered chimney stack. Rendered walls. Square-headed tripartite timber casement windows and square-headed doorway.

• TS075-048017 Stone sculpture
  Description

  On the E wall of the 13th-century keep of Cahir Castle (TS075-048001-), c. 1 N of the S gateway between the middle and inner ward. This is an unusual incised carving depicting three interlocking heads, two upside down on either side of a central figure. The incised carving was noted by Holland (1988, 14-17). It is carved onto a flat-surface of a block of limestone (dims. 0.39m x 0.32m; H above ground level 1.4m) which appears to have been cut or broken and re-used in the masonry of the keep. There is a bad crack through the stone and several other small cracks. All the heads are bald, with 'jug' ears positioned high in the head, and have round eyes with a central dot for the pupil, eye-brows, a nose and a horizontal line outlining the mouth. The central head is quite disfigured, though it is the only one which has a surviving clearly defined neck, shoulders and arms, heavily incised, and ribs lightly incised.
