Recorded monuments

• TS067-002 Castle - motte
  Description

  In recreational parkland of gravel ridges known as Tipperary Hills. On top of a substantial gravel hill. Motte is an oval area (dims. 42m WSW-ENE; c. 28m NNW-SSE) defined by steep-sided scarp (Wth 9m; H 6.5m) marginally lower (H 5.5m) yet steeper (Wth 6m) to WSW. Tarmac trackway on roughly level ledge around monument. Ledge (Wth 12m) at WSW, reducing (Wth 5.5m) at ENE side and appears to mark interface between natural mound and monument. Motte is grass covered and generally flat topped with remains of benches along the top edge of each side. The motte is described in the OS Letters (1840s) (O'Flanagan 1930, vol.3, 37) and a description, including a plan and section, was published in 1913 (Flynn 1913, 5-7).

• TS067-004003 Church
  Description

  Though currently occupying a postion roughly in the centre of Tipperary town, immediately N of John Street, it was possibly originally located within the NW angle of the town, the town defences (TS067-004009-) may have formed the N and W boundary of the graveyard (Thomas 1992, vol. 2, 195). In 1215 the advowson (the patronage including the tithes) of the church of the vill of Tibrari (town of Tipperary) was granted to Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin (Bradley 1985, 56). A royal visitation of 1607 found the parish church in repair, suggesting that it continued in use after the Reformation for Protestant worship and in 1730 the medieval church was hugely remodelled (Butler 2006, 53-5, 189). The present C of I church at this location dates to 1832. Nothing survives at ground level of the medieval church, which is indicated as being immediately S of the C of I church on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. There are no apparent medieval architectural fragments or pre-1700 graveslabs in the graveyard (TS067-004008-). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 9 June 2014

• TS067-004008 Graveyard
  Description

  In the centre of Tipperary town, immediately N of John Street and possibly originally within the NW angle of the town defences. The medieval church (TS067-004003-) is not longer visible at ground level. The present C of I church at this location dates to 1832. There are no apparent medieval architectural fragments or pre-1700 graveslabs visible in the graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 June 2014

• TS067-123 Kiln
  Description

  An excavation was carried out in a green-field site, N of the medieval church (TS067-004003-) and graveyard (TS067-004008-), in advance of construction of a government office building (Cummins 2000, 203). An E-W orientated kiln structure was cut into the sand subsoil (ibid.). This consisted of a linear flue (L 8.5m; Wth 3.48m; D 1.2m) leading to an elliptical bowl at the E end (ibid.). It was keyhole-shaped in plan (ibid.). The sides were stone-lined, and a single lintel stone was found over the flue (ibid.). The kiln was filled with collapsed sand from the sides of the structure (ibid.). There was a basal, charcoal-rich deposit under the stone lining, which may contain evidence of charred cereal grains, indicative of a corn-drying function (ibid.). There were also small fragments of oxidised limestone in some of the overlying fills, which may suggest a limekiln function (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 June 2014

• TS067-124 Hut site
  Description

  An excavation was carried out in a green-field site, N of the medieval church (TS067-004003-) and graveyard (TS067-004008-), in advance of construction of a government office building (Cummins 2000, 203). A circular hut site, 4m in diameter, was excavated in the NE corner of the field, and no enclosing bank or fosse was uncovered (ibid.). The upper level of the hut had been disturbed by cultivation activity, and there was a high amount of hollows in the interior caused by root/burrowing activity (ibid.). A sherd of post-medieval pottery was found in a context severely disturbed by root/burrowing activity (ibid.). The hut was surrounded by a narrow gully, 0.2-0.5m wide and 0.2m deep, containing no evident post-holes or stake-holes (ibid.). It may have functioned as a bedding trench (ibid.). The entrance in the N was indicated by a backfill of moderately compacted sand within the gully, and a hearth lay close to the centre of the hut (ibid.). The interior of the hut was occupied by overlapping sand layers containing a number of small post-holes and stake-holes (ibid.). They did not indicate any identifiable structures, apart from a possible spit over the hearth (ibid.). There were two shallow pits in the NE corner, and one of these contained a fragment of a jet/lignite bracelet (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 June 2014

• TS067-131 Burial ground
  Description

  An excavation was carried out in a green-field site, immediately N of the medieval church (TS067-004003-) and graveyard (TS067-004008-) in advance of the construction of a government office building (Cummins 2000, 203). During testing in 1997 five burials, orientated E-W, were excavated, though no dating evidence was retrieved (Hodkinson 1998, 180). In 1998, a further sixteen burials were excavated, aligned E-W or slightly NE-SW (Cummins 1998, 203). The total number of burials represent eleven adults, five juveniles and two neonates (ibid.). Associated pottery suggested a post-medieval date for the burials (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 June 2014
