• TN014-056 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on ground sloping very slightly to the NW in undulating pastureland. The Civil Survey refers to this site as 'an old castle the walls onely standing & fower cottages' and lists the Countess of Ormond as owner of these lands in 1640 (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 337). Only a small portion of the gatehouse of the castle complex survives. The W wall of the gatehouse (L 9.2m; T 1.15m; H 4m) was constructed of roughly coursed limestone, at least two storeys high with an entrance (Wth 2.45m) at the centre. There was formerly a chamber on either side of the entrance; that on the S side is 1m wide. There are no visible remains of the castle which would have stood to the E. A differential vegetation mark of a possible moat enclosing the gatehouse and castle site is visible only under suitable conditions. 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

• TN014-058 Moated site
  Description

  Situated in a low-lying position surrounded by a marsh. A subcircular area which is heavily overgrown with scrub and vegetation delimited by a shallow fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.4m). Depicted on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map as a tree covered, roughly D-shaped platform-type earthwork with rounded corners while on the latest ed. it is outlined externally with internal hachures. Described on field inspection in 1980 as 'an approx. circular, flat area [diam. 41m] demarcated by a very wide and low earthen bank feature with a water-filled fosse outside. No internal features. No causeway or entrance visible. Fosse widens at S' (OPW files, 1980). A similar site was excavated by Hartnett at Inchigaggin in Co. Cork in the 1940s and was found to be an augmented natural platform with evidence of three hearths and a variety of finds including flints, lead, glass, iron slag and glazed pottery of seventeenth century date onwards (Power et al. 1994, 72). 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).
