• TN021-042 Religious house - Fratres Cruciferi
  Description

  Situated on a natural hillock with a nearby river to the E. Tyone priory and hospital of St John the Baptist was a foundation of Augustinian Hospitallers or Fratres Cruciferi (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 208-9). The site was founded by Theobald Walter whose charter to the priory is usually dated c. 1200 (COD, vol. 1, 10). In 1541-2 Tyone Abbey was secularised and placed under the authority of a warden (Gleeson and Leask 1938, 215). The priory was dissolved in 1551 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 208-9). At its dissolution, Thady O'Meara the last prior was in possession of the monastery, belfry, cemetery, water mill and various pieces of land (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 215). By 1553 Tyone and its estate was in the possession of Oliver Grace (ibid.). The abbey was constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble and is now much altered and poorly preserved. It was an early thirteenth-century foundation as evidenced by the mouldings on some of the sandstone blocks. It was largely rebuilt in the late fifteenth/sixteenth century and a large quantity of cut sandstone was reused. The present remains consists of a simple rectangular church building the E end of which survives intact and a series of claustral buildings to the S of the church. The round-headed embrasures with ogee-headed windows at the W end of the church date to the late fifteenth/sixteenth century. These windows appear to have been inserted into earlier sandstone windows which are now blocked up and visible in the S wall. The E wall has a large central window embrasure, the surrounds are of sandstone while the semi-pointed chamfered head is limestone. A nineteenth-century wall plaque has been inserted into a brick and stone infill. A window embrasure in the S wall has sandstone surrounds and a round, splaying limestone head. A limestone, cusped, ogee-headed, two-light window has been inserted into the S wall and the mullion is missing. The jambs are chamfered internally and double chamfered externally. There is a glazing-bar-slot and glazing-bar-holes. At the E end of the N wall there is a round-headed splayed embrasure with a two-light cusped ogee-headed window, very similar to the window opposite in the S wall. Some of the sandstone surrounds have simple mouldings. Immediately below the base of this window surround on the W side is the first stone of an offset composed of chamfered corbels carrying a thicker upper wall. The masonry in the upper wall is much more compacted and amidst the limestone blocks are numerous worked sandstone blocks, mainly jambs and surrounds. This corbel course stops just E of a second window in the N wall and restarts a short distance W of this window but only for two corbel lengths, the wall becoming one thickness. The whole area under this window opening has been rebuilt recently. The round-splayed limestone head is still in place, as is the head of a single-light cusped ogee-headed window, the jambs and base of which are gone. The N wall has a number of small beam-holes roughly at the level of the start of the embrasure head. At the W end of the N wall there is a solid projection of masonry of unknown function with two large limestone arched recesses to the N of the projection contained within the thickness of the N wall. The masonry at this W end of the N wall is quite different to that in the church proper - small randomly coursed stones are used with a heavy mortar. Three phases of building have been identified in the fabric of the church. The claustral buildings are in a ruinous condition.There are a series of two-storey barrel-vaulted chambers orientated on an N-S axis running S of the nave of the church. S of these chambers there is a stair turret, the ground and first floor of which survive in a ruinous state although the NW corner is very precarious. This turret was entered through a two-centred cut limestone doorway. In the SW angle of the turret are the remains of a garderobe. From this turret a wall extends southward which contains a loop at first-floor level. This wall returns to E, though most of the wall has collapsed and all the quoinstones have been robbed. There was a building SW of the church, only the SE angle and portion of the E and S wall of which survives. It has a flat-headed window with sandstone jambs and a limestone head in the E wall and a large embrasure in the S wall with both sandstone and limestone surrounds. Flush with the E gable of the church, roughly opposite the stair turret and slightly S of it, is the NE angle of a building survives to a height of c. 3m. According to a farmer with adjacent property this graveyard (TN021-042002-) was 'cleaned up' c. 1992 by a local committee. The clean-up involved a JCB which removed a large quantity of stone. Amongst the loose stones still in the graveyard there is an engaged pillar with a capital of moulded sandstone of thirteenth-century date. The site appears to have consisted of an abbey church along the N range with domestic buildings on the E, S and W with a possible cloister now used as a graveyard in the centre. The site was described in 1840 by O'Donovan as an abbey in a dilapidated state of which survived the E gable, the N and S walls of the choir (L. 59ft 7in (18m); Wth 27ft10in (8.5m); wall T 3ft 8in (1.2m)) along with the N wall of the nave and the crossing tower which divided the nave from the chancel (Gleeson 1915, vol. 1, 144). A pointed doorway in the crossing-tower gave access to a spiral staircase from which the first floor of the tower was accessed. There was a large pointed window in the E gable and a mural stairs in the S wall rising eastwards from which a gallery may have been accessed (ibid.). There is now no trace of the crossing tower with stairs or the mural stairs in the S wall. Licence No.02E1707 This site is in the same townland as Tyone Abbey, near Nenagh. To date, two house foundations have been monitored, and nothing of archaeological significance was encountered. It has been arranged that this project will continue intermittently into 2003.

• TN021-042001 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  Situated on a low rise of ground on the W bank of the Nenagh River with good views in all directions. Described as the 'Towne of Tyone' possessing a 'Mannor with ye priviledg of a Court Leet, & Coyrt barron', 'It hath also two Faires every yeare, vizt on ye 22th of june; & the 29th of Augt, & a markett every saturday' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 250-51). There are some traces of earthworks in the field to N, S and W of Tyone abbey (TN021-042----) which possibly relate to this settlement. Oblique aerial photographs (CUCAP AY026/027) taken 10/07/1969 show a series of earthworks both linear and curvilinear in the field to the N and W of Tyone Abbey (TN021-042----). In 2005 a geophysical survey was undertaken by Geoarc Ltd under licence No. 05R113 was in this field and the results of which were summarised as following; 'A second phase of geophysical investigation was commissioned by Douglas Wallace on behalf of Tyone Developments over the northern part of a proposed development site in the townland of Tyone, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary. The entire site covers an area approximately and Phase I of the geophysical investigation completed in September 2005 was located around Tyone Abbey - the only extant monument within the proposed development site. Phase I included an area of 4.2811a and Phase II includes all of the remaining area (1.52Ha) in the northern part of the proposed development site, but excludes some small areas close to permanent post and wire fences, agricultural buildings, farm machinery, etc. as these introduce interference on the magnetic results. Numerous features indicative of archaeological activity were identified on the results of Phase I of the geophysical investigation and the majority of these features were detected by the magnetic gradiometry technique. The identified features appear to form a complex pattern of enclosures, field boundaries, curvilinear features and a number of zones of magnetic noise of unknown origin. The date and function of these features can only be determined by intrusive archaeological investigation but it is likely that some of these features are contemporary with the Abbey and possibly represent activities associated with the occupation of the abbey. There is some tentative evidence for the presence of sub-circular features which predate the main field system. No major anomalies indicative of clearly identifiable archaeological feature are identified on Phase II of the geophysical investigation. Nevertheless, a number of minor, weak anomalies detected by the survey appear to correlate with features of possible archaeological significance observed on the aerial photograph of the site. These anomalies are mainly located in the extreme northeast corner of the proposed development site and intrusive archaeological investigation is recommended to establish the date and character of the minor anomalies'. In 2007 test excavation was undertaken by Tamás Péterváry, Dominic Delany & Associates under licence No. E3452/C121 in the field to the W of Tyone Abbey (TN021-042----) the results of which were summarised as following; 'Test excavation took place in the northern vicinity of a medieval Augustinian abbey [TN021-042----] in Tyone in the southern outskirts of Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, from 29 August to 3 September 2007. The layout of the four trenches opened was determined by anomalies identified in two phases of geophysical survey. Each trench contained archaeological features consisting of earthen boundary ditches, burnt areas and pits. These features underline the results of the geophysical survey and suggest intensive habitation at the site in two historical phases. The first phase was represented by a univallate enclosure, most likely the remains of an early medieval ringfort [TN021-042002-]. A fragment of an iron knife was retrieved from the vicinity of this monument. A smaller enclosure, incorporated within the high or late medieval boundary of the ‘abbey field’, was identified through geophysical survey some 50m to the north. This monument, though not included in the testing programme, probably dates to the same general period as the univallate enclosure. The second phase saw the construction of a series of earthen boundary banks and ditches enclosing the ‘abbey field’ with traces of regularly laid-out internal units. The enclosure consisted of three parallel ditches identified within two of the testing trenches. The middle ditch was sectioned and turned out to be 3.6m wide and 1.4m deep, containing three silty sand deposits with frequent inclusions of small angular cobbles and pebbles and few fragments of animal bone. The section of these deposits suggested infilling from both sides of the ditch. The inner and outer ditches were narrower and ran at a similar distance of c. 3m from the middle ditch. The similar consistency of the upper deposits and regular layout of these defensive features suggested contemporary use, probably in the high or late medieval period' (www.excavations.ie). The site was a proposed residential housing development, measuring c. 300m by 200m, to the east of the road from Moanbeg to Fawnlough in the townlands of Moanbeg and Tyone, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary. Archaeological assessment and monitoring were a condition of planning permission for the development. An assessment was carried out by Niall Gregory in July 2002 (No. 1741 above, 02E1204). Although groundworks had already begun on the site, two areas of archaeological potential were identified. The first was an anomalous rounded hollow, c. 15m in diameter and 0.3m deep, in the western part of the site. The second area was defined by the topographical ascent of the site itself, terminating in a small natural summit in the north-eastern corner. Monitoring (licence no. 02E1254) was carried out between 12 August and 6 September 2002 during the first phase of groundworks for the scheme. This involved topsoil-stripping in the area of ten proposed houses in the north-eastern part of the site, four in the south-west and the associated access roads. Stratigraphy varied across the site. The sod layer averaged 0.2m deep and was composed of light brown, sandy clay with a moderate amount of charcoal inclusions. In the northern part of the site this overlay light brown, silty clay topsoil with a moderate amount of charcoal inclusions, 0.18-0.22m deep. The topsoil increased in depth as the site naturally descended to the south and south-west. In these areas it comprised mid-brown sandy clay 0.2-0.4m deep. Natural subsoil was a brown/yellow sandy clay with frequent stone and decayed stone inclusions. Natural outcrops of limestone bedrock were uncovered randomly throughout the site. The ridge forming the perimeter of the hollow area in the south-western part of the site proved to comprise one such bedrock outcrop. Two areas containing archaeological material were uncovered during this phase of monitoring. Area 1 was in the north-eastern part of the site, and the features were contained in an area of c. 30m by 40m. These consisted of a linear ditch, an area of in situ burning and a number of features containing charcoal-rich soil. Area 2, in the south-western part of the site, contained archaeological features in an area of c. 20m by 30m. These were an irregularly shaped area of in situ burning and a number of features containing charcoal-rich soil, some of which exhibited burning around the edges. Excavation of Area 1 was carried out from 2 to 6 September (No. 1774 below, 02E1413). Owing to insufficient budgetary allowance for archaeological provisions, the client requested that excavation within Area 2 be postponed until the second phase of groundworks for the development. Therefore Area 2 was cordoned off from development works, and the features were covered with heavy-duty polythene. In an area of c. 70m by 30m at the east of the site, soil-stripping did not reach the level of natural subsoil. It was therefore not possible to determine whether archaeologi

By 1553 Tyone and its estate was in the possession of Oliver Grace (ibid.). The abbey (TN021-042----) was constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble and is now much altered and poorly preserved. It was an early thirteenth-century foundation as evidenced by the mouldings on some of the sandstone blocks. It was largely rebuilt in the late fifteenth/sixteenth century and a large quantity of cut sandstone was reused. The present remains consists of a simple rectangular church building the E end of which survives intact and a series of claustral buildings to the S of the church. Graveyard located immediately to S of church, the latter forming the N boundary of the graveyard. According to a farmer with adjacent property this graveyard was 'cleaned up' c. 1992 by a local committee. The clean-up involved a JCB which removed a large quantity of stone. Amongst the loose stones still in the graveyard there is an engaged pillar with a capital of moulded sandstone of thirteenth-century date. The site appears to have consisted of an abbey church along the N range with domestic buildings on the E, S and W with a possible cloister now used as a graveyard in the centre. The site was described in 1840 by O'Donovan as an abbey in a dilapidated state of which survived the E gable, the N and S walls of the choir (L. 59ft 7in (18m); Wth 27ft 10in (8.5m); wall T 3ft 8in (1.2m)) along with the N wall of the nave and the crossing tower which divided the nave from the chancel (Gleeson 1915, vol. 1, 144). A pointed doorway in the crossing-tower gave access to a spiral staircase from which the first floor of the tower was accessed. There was a large pointed window in the E gable and a mural stairs in the S wall rising eastwards from which a gallery may have been accessed (ibid.). There is now no trace of the crossing tower with stairs or the mural stairs in the S wall. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

• TN021-042003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low rise of ground on the W bank of the Nenagh River with good views in all directions. Described as the 'Towne of Tyone' possessing a 'Mannor with ye priviledg of a Court Leet, & Coyrt barron', 'It hath also two Faires every yeare, vizt on ye 22th of june; & the 29th of Augt, & a markett every saturday' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 250-51). There are some traces of earthworks in the field to N, S and W of Tyone abbey (TN021-042----) which possibly relate to this settlement. Oblique aerial photographs (CUCAP AY026/027) taken 10/07/1969 show a series of earthworks both linear and curvilinear in the field to the N and W of Tyone Abbey (TN021-042----). In 2007 test excavation was undertaken by Tamás Péterváry, Dominic Delany & Associates under licence No. E3452/C121 in the field to the W of Tyone Abbey (TN021-042----) the results of which were summarised as following; 'Test excavation took place in the northern vicinity of a medieval Augustinian abbey [TN021-042----] in Tyone in the southern outskirts of Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, from 29 August to 3 September 2007. The layout of the four trenches opened was determined by anomalies identified in two phases of geophysical survey. Each trench contained archaeological features consisting of earthen boundary ditches, burnt areas and pits. These features underline the results of the geophysical survey and suggest intensive habitation at the site in two historical phases. The first phase was represented by a univallate enclosure, most likely the remains of an early medieval ringfort. A fragment of an iron knife was retrieved from the vicinity of this monument. A smaller enclosure, incorporated within the high or late medieval boundary of the ‘abbey field’, was identified through geophysical survey some 50m to the north. This monument, though not included in the testing programme, probably dates to the same general period as the univallate enclosure. The second phase saw the construction of a series of earthen boundary banks and ditches enclosing the ‘abbey field’ with traces of regularly laid-out internal units. The enclosure consisted of three parallel ditches identified within two of the testing trenches. The middle ditch was sectioned and turned out to be 3.6m wide and 1.4m deep, containing three silty sand deposits with frequent inclusions of small angular cobbles and pebbles and few fragments of animal bone. The section of these deposits suggested infilling from both sides of the ditch. The inner and outer ditches were narrower and ran at a similar distance of c. 3m from the middle ditch. The similar consistency of the upper deposits and regular layout of these defensive features suggested contemporary use, probably in the high or late medieval period' (www.excavations.ie).

• TN021-043 Weir - regulating
  Description

  According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'upon the sd lands of Tyone ... standeth an old Abby a small fishinge weare upon the river of Geagh [Nenagh] runing through it' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 251). A weir is located in a slight bend in the Nenagh River directly E of the S wall of Tyone priory (TN021-042). It consists of a band of stones c. 1.5-2m W spanning the river. The stones are strewn across the bed of the river and are c. 0.2m below the surface of the water. The water flows rapidly over the weir at this point. Access could not be gained as the bank is very steep on both sides at this point and is nettle covered. 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).

• TN021-102001 Metalworking site
  Description

  In 2002 archaeological monitoring carried out by Ruth Elliott revealed two areas of burnt material and a post-medieval drainage or field ditch. This monitoring was carried out under Licence No. 02E1254 (Bennett 2004, 484). Area 1 measured c. 30m x 40m and consisted of a post-medieval linear ditch, an area of in situ burning and a number of features of charcoal-rich soil. Excavation of this area was carried out under licenence number 02E1413 and this revealed that the ditch was post medieval in date and probably related to drainage or field boundaries. The charcoal rich area revealed an oval pit (0.98m x 0.49m x D 0.25m) containing a large quantity of iron slag. This evidence points towards iron working activity in the area. Excavation carried out by Niall Gregory of a hearth situated c. 60m to the south may be related to this iron-working activity. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
