Recorded monuments
- TN014-053 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a NW-facing slope in gently undulating pastureland. Depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure with a N-S field boundary abutting the site at N and S. Shown on the 2nd ed. OS 6-inch map as a hachured circle with trees growing around the bank. The site appears as a cropmark on an aerial photograph taken in 1973 (GSIAP, R 96/5/4). Although now levelled the outline of this roughly circular site (diam. c. 44.5m) is visible as a barely perceptible low bank and shallow fosse. 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
- TN014-057004 Bridge
Description
A road bridge (L 26.7m, wall T 0.45m; parapet wall H 1.07m) over the Nenagh River immediately E of Ballyartella tower house (TN014-057001-). The bridge has five spans and was originally 4.4m wide. A further 1.75m was added onto the N (downstream) side. Some dressed stone is evident on the original bridge and there is a suggestion of wicker centring on the underside of the vault. Originally there were three refuges (D. 0.75m; Wth 1.6m) 3.5m apart on the S side of the bridge, but today only two refuges survive standing on triangular-shaped cutwaters, which appear to have been refaced. The relief arches are of roughly cut blocks of limestone. Stone bedrock under the spans have been quarried out. A ford at Ballyartella is mentioned in Civil Survey 1654-6 (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 297). 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).

- TN014-057005 Ford
Description
A ford at Ballyartella is mentioned in Civil Survey 1654-6 (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 297). It is possibly on the site of the present bridge (TN014-057004-). 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: 15 December 2015
- TN014-060 Barrow - mound barrow
Description
Situated on a SW-facing slope in undulating pasture. Depicted on 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map as a semicircular clump of trees, possibly enclosed, immediately W of a field boundary. The depiction is clearer on the 1901-5 ed., once again showing a circular enclosure bisected from NW to SE with only W half surviving. The present remains consist of the much-disturbed W half of the mound (diam. NW-SE 25m; max. H 2m at NW) heavily overgrown with brambles and nettles. The only surviving portions, at NW and SW, do not give a true representation as dumped clay and stone has been pushed to the sides. Large concrete 'lintels' and stones have been dumped at the base of the mound in the NW quadrant and there is a lot of loose stone hidden in undergrowth. The N side of the site has been truncated and there is no trace of the site on the other side of the field boundary. Described by Ó Ríordáin (1953, 90) as 'a low mound [which] appears to have a kerb and also a concentric ring of stones outside it'. These stones appear to have been levelled. 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
