- TN040-021 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated towards the base of a gradual SE-facing slope in pasture. A slightly oval univallate ringfort (diam. 39m N-S; 36.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.3m; int. H 0.61m; ext. H 0.3m) and an external fosse (Wth 4.9m; D 0.34m). The bank is reduced to a scarp at SE where there may have been an entrance feature. 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
- TN040-026 Bridge
Description
Listed in the SMR (1992) and RMP (1998) as ford possible. The Civil Survey refers to the ford of Farneybridge which suggests the river was crossable at Farneybridge where there was a bridge. Classification has been changed to bridge possible. The 'ffoord of ffarnybridge' is mentioned in Civil Survey 1654-55. A limestone bridge known as Farney bridge consists of a four span, round arch bridge with one cut-water at centre upstream to NE. Voussoirs of well-cut stone. Vault/span of bridge built in two phases, NE end being 2.86m wide which abutts the SW end 3.77m wide, both rest on side walls which appear to be single period. Span 2.4m wide and 2.4m high above stone and concrete river bed. River currently only utilises two central arches, side arches being overgrown. Surface of bridge is fairly flat, stone parapet 0.8m high and 0.23m wide. Width of bridge from inner parapet faces is 5.8m. Two phase construction suggests a possible early date of construction as bridges were widened following the 1727 Road Act.

- TN040-027 Castle - tower house
Description
Situated on a rise with ground sloping NW towards the Farneybridge/Ballynahow River in undulating countryside. Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as a 'little castle wanting repair' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 118). James Earl of Ormond is listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.). A circular four-storey tower house (int. dim. 5.7m; wall T at base 3.45m) with attic composed of rubble limestone with nineteenth-century additions built onto the SW side. The tower house was entered through a S-facing pointed doorway with external chamfer, now blocked-up. The lobby, with murder-hole overhead, has an internal window facing the main doorway with a recess which possibly contained a wooden panel. The guardroom to the E has been adapted internally to accommodate a small wine cellar. A pointed doorway to the W leads into another lobby with access to mural stairs to the W and N into the ground-floor chamber. A late doorway has been inserted in a deep window embrasure in the W wall. This chamber was also lit by narrow single-light windows in the N and E walls, contained within small outer embrasures and large, deep inner embrasures which drop to the internal floor level. There are traces of wicker centring under the embrasure arches. The S window is round-headed with an external splaying chamfer. The ground floor is roofed with a dome vault which springs 1.4m above the present internal floor level. The upper floors are now accessed from the later nineteenth-century addition, all the doorways from the spiral stairs leading into mural chambers and main floors are blocked. The stairs curve around the NW section of wall and then continue up the NE section as spiral stairs. The windows lighting the stairs are also blocked. The doorway at attic level has been altered and the lintel broken out when the later roof was constructed 20-30 years ago. Modern windows were inserted and the fireplace in the SE wall is now blocked. The doorway leading to the parapet was completely modified in the nineteenth-century. A later nineteenth-century battlemented tower was built at the edge of the parapet on the W face. Three corbels support machicolations over the N, E and W sections of the tower with spouts between the corbels. There are also spouts at the base of the parapet. A chimney supporting three pots is on the SE section of the parapet and a there is a smaller chimney with one pot on the NE section. The parapet (H 2m) and crenelations (H 0.8m) appear to be a nineteenth-century rebuild, possibly incorporating original elements beneath. The ground-floor windows have been altered externally, except the S light, and modern windows have been inserted in the N and E sections of the tower at first, second and third-floor levels. 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

- TN041-027 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a fairly steep SE-facing slope, off the summit of a hill, in an area of rock outcrop. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1843) and current (1952-3) OS 6-inch maps transected in the N sector by an E-W field boundary. On an aerial photograph taken in 1973 (GSIAP, S 465/6) only the enclosure S of the field boundary shows up clearly. The site has been levelled but the S half (dims. 20.3m N-S to field boundary wall; 25m E-W) could be discerned by a faint outline of a bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.77m; ext. H 0.1m) and the suggestion of an outer fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.7m). No remains visible N of the field boundary. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

- TN041-028 Ecclesiastical enclosure
Description
Situated on the SE-facing slope of a hill with a nearby river to the SE. Depicted on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map as a large D-shaped enclosure which appears to have been somewhat modified to conform to the existing field pattern. The present remains consist of a D-shaped area (dims. 116m NE-SW; 100m NW-SE) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.76; ext. H 0.37m). At E the bank curves out beyond the stone wall field boundary. A wide gap in the SW quadrant appears to be a modern insertion. The interior slopes to the SE and has a number of low terraces, partially natural though also probably resulting from quarrying activity. Rock outcrop is very close to surface. In the interior there is a ruinous stone wall (Wall T 1m; int. H 0.62m; ext. H 0.5m; L 11.8m E-W) with a SW angle return. According to the landowner there is a local tradition that this was a church (TN041-028001). He also mentioned that approximately ten pieces of iron slag were found in the interior of the site. The size of the site and the local tradition suggest that this could be an ecclesiastical enclosure. 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).

- TN041-028001 Church
Description
Situated on a SE facing slope on lower slope of hill, river and marsh to SE, in pasture. Site depicted on 1st (1843) ed. OS 6-inch map as a large D-shaped enclosure (TN041-028), the site appears to have been somewhat modified to conform to the existing field pattern. In the interior of the enclosure there is a ruinous stone wall (W 1m crest, 2m base; int. H 0.62m; ext. H 0.5m) running 11.8m E-W with SW angle. There is a local tradition that this was a church (according to landowner). According to the landowner c.10 pieces of iron slag were found in interior of the site. The size of the site and local tradition suggest this could be an ecclesiastical enclosure. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
