Description
Situated in gently undulating terrain. A three-storey nineteenth-century gothic pile in ruins with features such as projecting corner towers, pseudo battlements, hood-mouldings and traceried windows. A family crest lies over the main door in the S end of the W wall. There is no evidence of an earlier structure. According to the OS Letters there was some disagreement among the local people as to whether there was originally a castle in this townland (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 3, 95). The presence of a castle at this location is purely speculative 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
- TN040-045 Designed landscape feature
Description
Enclosures identified on aerial photograph taken on 11/8/1996 by Michael Moore (ASIAP 44(15-22)). Situated on flat poorly drained reclaimed grassland with good views in all directions. Located on demesne property of Castle Fogarty which is located 250m to the E. Possible pond feature and drainage channels show up on aerial photographs, these features are probably landscaping features undertaken by the owners of Castle Fogarty. Doubtful antiquity, probable landscape feature. Indicated on first ed. OS 6-inch map as a landscape feature in the form of a grove of trees.
