- TS087-024001 Castle - hall-house
Description
The Civil Survey (1654-6) refers to this as 'a castle covered with thatch without repaire' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 372). In the first half of the 17th century Ballyboy was occupied by Sir Richard Everard and his wife Catherine Tobin who married in 1627. According to Everard (1907, 74-5), based on the wills of Edmund and Nicholas Everard, 1631 and 1633, they lived 'in the castle at Ballyboy, near Clogheen....Sir Richard was living in the castle at Ballyboy when (in 1639) he obtained a grant creating 'The Manor of Everard's Castle'. Richard and Catherine left Ballyboy c. 1641 to take up residence in their new mansion at Burncourt. It is unclear whether the Ballyboy residence refers to the castle, now in ruins, or the thatched house with bawn (TS087-024002-) mentioned in the Civil Survey (ibid.). Situated on a natural rise, the land falls steeply to the S towards the River Tar. The S side of the hall-house has been quarried away. It is constructed of large, roughly cut blocks of limestone, roughly coursed, with an external base-batter (H 0.65m; W 0.2m). Only the N wall (ext. dims. 14m; wall T 1.5m; H c. 4m) and portion of the E (L 0.8m) and W (L 1.85m) walls survive. The NE and NW angles have an external solid semi-circular turret, not apparent in the interior which is squared in plan. There is a large opening roughly centrally placed at ground-floor level in the N wall; this has been partially broken through. On the W half of the N wall in the interior there are three corbels at first-floor level to carry the floor. At a later stage two stone vaults were inserted; both rest on an inserted central pier positioned immediately S of the broken through opening mentioned above. The E vault, which has largely collapsed, springs from the E wall of the building. The W vault, also largely collapsed, appears to have abutted the W wall of the building. The vault is partially resting on the earlier corbels. The W wall now terminates at the N side of a splayed embrasure, probably of a window. There is a collapsed embrasure visible at first-floor level in the N wall. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 November 2013
- TS087-024002 Bawn
Description
Approximately 100m W of Ballyboy hall-house (TS087-024001-), overlooking the River Tar to the S. The outer face of the bawn is facing the hall-house and it appears that this bawn was built to protect a later 17th-century house referred to in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as 'a thatch house ... without repaire within a Bawne lately rebuilt by the Lady Everard' (Simington 1931, vol.1, 372). The bawn is constructed of sandstone and limestone rubble, roughly coursed. Only a small portion of the bawn survives, including of a semi-circular angle turret (int. dims. 1.4m; wall T 0.93m) and a length of wall runs off the angle turret to the NE (L 4.8m). The turret has three gun-loops, that facing SE is blocked, that facing E has partially collapsed and the third intact loop faces S. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 November 2013
- TS087-050 Enclosure
Description
A large D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 147m N-S; c. 150m E-W) defined by a fosse, visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (2021 Maxar Technologies, viewed May 2021), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. There appears to be a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 80m) in the interior, slightly E of centre, also defined by a fosse visible as a cropmark. A natural pond, indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and 1907 revision, encroaches into the NE sector of the D-shaped enclosure.
