Recorded monuments

• TN034-046 Historic town
  Description

  Situated on flat pasture in undulating countryside. While there is no firm documentary evidence that Borrisoleigh was a medieval town its name, meaning borough of Ui Luighdheach, would suggest that it had borough status. References in historical sources to Borrisoleigh appear to be relating to Borris (Two-Mile-Borris) (TN042-052). The tower house (TN034-046001) in the present town belonged to the Burke family in the sixteenth century (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 123). An Inquisition taken at Clonmel in 1628 describes Borrisoleigh as the 'manor, castle, town and lands of Borres O Leagh' (Callanan 1936-9, 68). In the Civil Survey 1654-6 Borres Ileigh is described as a 'castle and Bawne of Borres in good repaire, with an orchard, a good garden, a water corne mill in repaire, six thatcht houses and many Cabbins' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 89). A former church and graveyard (TN034-046003) at the W end of the town, levelled between 1840 and 1902-3, may have been part of the earlier settlement. In 2002 archaeological monitoring by Anne-Marie Lennon on a single storey extension to a factory within the zone of archaeological potential revealed nothing of archaeological interest. This monitoring was carried out under Licence No. 02E0211 (Bennett 2004, 471). 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).

• TN034-050 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on top of high ground in an upland area with extensive views and nearby ringfort (TN034-051) to the S. A circular area (diam. 31m N-S; 29.5m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.7m) and wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4-5m; D 1m) waterlogged at time of visit. No entrance feature visible. The ringfort has been recently landscaped. Topsoil has been stripped off the external face of the bank and it has been planted with shrubs. The interior has been paved and a statue of Our Lady has been erected in the centre of the site. 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).

• TN034-051 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on high ground in an upland area with extensive views and nearby ringfort (TN034-050) to the N. A heavily overgrown ringfort consisting of a raised circular area (diam. 37m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2-3m) with wide external fosse (Wth 4m; D 1.5m) and causewayed entrance (Wth 5m) at N. A modern roadway intersects the outer fosse at S on a N-S axis. 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).
