• TS055-006001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  In grassland on a SW-facing slope of rising ground in upland area with good views in all directions. 19th-century cottage with walled farmyard and wall orchard immediately NW of castle. No surface remains visible of castle described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as 'a small castle with an old large bawne & two or three thatcht houses within the bawne' and Edmond Marnell is listed as owner of the castle and bawne in 1640 (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 114). Associated with the castle was a 'Mill standing upon a small streame about muskett shott from the castle' (ibid.), a portion of millrace (TS055-080----) may be associated with this mill which is unlocated (TS055-082----). The walled farmyard and the walled garden and 19th-century cottage to the NW of the castle may be built from the rubble of the castle. None of the masonry from the walled garden or the farmyard has appearance of a medieval bawn wall (TS055-006002-). The average wall thickness of the walled farmyard and the orchard wall measures 0.6m, with no evidence of a base-batter or any other medieval features. According to John Davis White (1892, 102) the castle was built 100 yards/metres to the south of the old house of Lisnamrock. The castle was the residence of Lieutenant Charles Langley who was involved in the siege of Clonmel in the 17th century (White 1892, 102). A large tree and well house now mark the location of the castle. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS055-080 Water mill - unclassified
  Description

  In 19th-century woodland of hazel and beech with small stream 60m downslope to W and ringfort (TS055-004----) 60m to E. Millrace runs along the edge of the reclaimed grassland and the sloping river valley with the millrace running parallel on the higher ground to the stream. Originally the land to the E of the millrace was flat wet marshland but has since been reclaimed and re-seeded with grass. No evidence of where the stream was diverted into the millrace which was upstream to the N of the existing stretch of the millrace. Indicated as an 'Old Mill Stream' on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map this consists of a narrow fosse (base Wth 1.5m; top Wth 4 m; ext. d 0.8m) flanked on its W side by a wide flat-topped earth and stone bank (top Wth 2m; base Wth 4.5m ext. H 0.8m int. H1m) which runs alongside the fosse on its W side along a N-S axis for a distance of 200m and then turns W and runs downslope to meet the stream which also runs parallel to the millrace. No evidence for any mill building along the millrace. May be associated with the mill mentioned in the Civil Survey of 1654-6 which describes 'a mill standing upon a small streame about muskett shott from the castle' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 114), the castle being c. 500m to NE at Lisnamrock (TS055-006001-).
