Recorded monuments

• TS075-010 Enclosure
  Description

  In undulating terrain on the S bank of the Aherlow River, under pasture. The monument has been levelled. It was not marked on the 1st 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 2nd 1901-05 ed. it is indicated as a curving scarp, only S side is hachured, running SE of Aherlow River with a field boundary forming the NE side. This field boundary has been removed but there is a gentle scarp visible in the SW quadrant. A hillock rises immediately SE of the enclosure and is partially incorporated in it. The enclosure is depicted on an aerial photograph (GSI S.631/2, 16-4-1974) as an angular boundary with hedgerow. It was probably levelled when the field boundary was removed. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 31 March 2014

• TS075-026 Enclosure
  Description

  On a flat break of a NE-facing slope, land falls steeply to plain of the Aherlow River to the NE and rises to the SW. In rough ground. A roadway has been constructed along the S field boundary to give access to gravel extraction. Knockgraffon motte (TS075-019001-) is visible c. 1.5km to the ENE. According to Tipperary South Riding County Museum files this monument was bulldozed in the 1960s. There is no visible trace at ground level, however, it probably occupied the flat area near the edge of the scarp, a very commanding location. According to the 2nd (1901-05) ed. OS 6-inch map the enclosure was roughly oval in shape (dims. c. 33m NW-SE; c. 23m NE-SW) and defined by scarp. A field boundary, now removed, ran along the NE edge of the enclosure. In the NE quadrant a deep rectangular pit has been excavated (c. 1m x 2.5-3m; c. 3m D), possibly a test pit for further gravel extraction. The interior is very wet and spongy.

• TS075-027002 Designed landscape feature
  Description

  On a natural rise overlooking the Suir river valley. The River Aherlow meets the Suir immediately below Ballydrehid House (TS075-027003-). A roughly rectangular earthwork defined by scarp is depicted on the 2nd (1901-05) ed. map immediately NE of the house. This is a landscape feature, contemporary with the 18th-century house, where the natural height of the hill was accentuated to create a lawn in front of the house. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 04 April 2014

• TS075-027003 House - 18th/19th century
  Description

  On natural rise overlooking the Suir river valley. The River Aherlow meets the Suir immediately below the house. The house is two-storey, seven bay with a hipped roof and a stout chimney stack on top of each hip. The windows are long and narrow. The doorway is flat-headed with limestone surround with horizontal reaming and flat pediment above. The house was refurbished in recent years and the architect suggested a date of c. 1718 for its construction. An flat-roofed single bay extension was added to the SE end in the late 20th century.

• TS075-033 Mound
  Description

  In undulating upland terrain. There is large scale quarrying on the hillside. Aerial photography (OS Ortho) shows that the area where the monument was located has been completely quarried out. The monument is indicated as a mound on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and is not indicated on the 2nd (1901-05) ed. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 April 2014

• TS075-034 Enclosure
  Description

  On a S-facing slope in upland terrain, in rough pasture. There is scrub around the edge of the enclosure. Slightly irregular-shaped large enclosure (diam. 91.5m N-S; 95m E-W) enclosed by bank (Wth 1.6m crest, 2.6m base; int. H 0.76m; ext. H 1m) and shallow outer fosse (Wth 1.5-1.8m; D 0.22m). Downslope in the S quadrant the bank is reduced to scarp (H 1.09m over 5.4m). The interior slopes S with the incline. There is a slight break in slope c. 10m immediately S of the S bank of the enclosure. A large quarry extends up to the W bank of the monument. The W bank is particularly large and has probably been augmented by spoil from the quarry. Two wrecked cars lie abandoned in the NE quadrant. There is an old ring-feeder in the SE quadrant. The bank defining the N and E sides is a typical field bank, that in the E sector has an internal ditch. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 April 2014

• TS075-063 Enclosure
  Description

  On level ground in garden of bungalow built c. 1930, enclosure to SE of house. Enclosure identified as a roughly circular cropmark (diam. c. 24m) on aerial photograph (GSI 16.4.1974 S.631/2). According to landowner there is no tradition of a 'fort' in this area, however, he mentioned a small concave enclosure (TS075-063001-), formerly defined by trees, which stood immediately E of garden boundary. Enclosure not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS075-063001 Enclosure
  Description

  On natural ridge which curves around NW-SE, immediately E of a neighbouring house plot boundary where a possible enclosure (TS075-063----) was located. According to local information a 'fort' stood here until levelled in c. 1960. It was described as being a small concave enclosure (diam. c. 20m) defined by trees. A slight depression in the area may be the remains of the enclosure. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 30 April 2014
