Recorded monuments
- TN047-034 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on the S-facing slope of a hill, in undulating reclaimed pasture. The site has been levelled but the enclosing bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.14m; ext. H 0.6m) is still visible defining a circular area (diam. 32m N-S and E-W). The bank is less evident at E. A NE-SW gravel roadway cuts through the top of the bank in the NW quadrant. A field boundary immediately W of the site has been cleared. 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
- TN047-035 Earthwork
Description
Situated on the gentle NW-facing slope of a natural rise in undulating terrain, in pasture. Marked on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map as an irregular-shaped enclosure with an internal feature (possible quarry). The field has been reclaimed and a N-S field boundary to the E kicks out slightly possibly respecting the former site. An oval dip (dims. 20m x 10m) may be the remains of the filled-in quarry marked on 1st ed. Not visible at ground level. 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
- TN047-036 House - indeterminate date
Description
Situated on a W-facing slope in gently undulating terrain. According to the landowner most of the site was levelled c. 26 years ago. Only a length of the N wall (L 16m; H 1.6m; Wth 1.1m) survives with a slight base-batter on the N face (Wth 0.65m; H 0.1m). The W wall was knocked to make way for a barn which according to the landowner is as high as the former wall and stone from the wall was used to make a roadway. The landowner referred to the house as a 'mansion house'. Described in the OS Letters (1840) as a ruined building with only the W wall (Wth 28.2m; H 5.4m; T 1.1m) and part of the N wall surviving (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 193-4). The dimensions (28m x min. 16m) suggest that this was an early house rather than a 'castle' or tower house. 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
- TN047-102002 Ford
Description
A road (TN047-102001) running E-W across a N-S river valley. The river runs N to join the River Suir. The line of the roadway is represented by a stone wall and earthen bank with stone facing surmounted by a hedgerow in places. Presently there is a concrete road (Wth 3.5m) on the S side of a stone wall boundary. This boundary continues down to a stream, which was a fording point (TN047-102002) and like the road is indicated on Rocque's map of 1755 (A Plan of the Camp near Thurles, NLI 16.I.17 (9)), the road is also marked as 'Old Road to Cashel' on 1775 map (Ms maps of lands in the baronies of Clanwilliam, Eliogarty, Iffa and Offa, Middlethird, Ormond Upper and Lower, Co. Tipperary by John Wrigh, John Moynaham and Wlm and John Longfield and Others 1757-1834, NLI 21.F.46). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
