Recorded monuments

• TN015-098 Church
  Description

  Situated in a river valley. The church site is on the N side of a trapezoidal-shaped graveyard (TN015-098002), to the SE of a ruinous nineteenth-century Protestant church. It is constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble (dims. L c. 5.2m N-S; 13m E-W; wall T c. 1m). The N and S walls and the E gable survive, though ivy-covered. No trace of the W wall survives. No entrance survives although gaps have been broken through in both the N and S walls near the E gable. There may have been windows where these gaps were made. In the centre of the E gable there is a narrow, round-headed single-light window with a slightly splayed embrasure. Approximately 60m S of the Protestant church tower an area of limestone outcrop (dims. 3m x 2.25m) protrudes above the surface of the graveyard. Though the surface is very weathered there is an oval depression on the E side which appears to be a bullaun (TN015-098001). No architectural fragments were visible in the graveyard or surrounding stone wall. 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
