• TN036-010 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the N-facing slope of an E-W ridge in undulating countryside overlooking a nearby river to the N. A raised circular area (diam. 35m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 1-1.5m) mainly reduced to a scarp with a possible destroyed entrance gap (Wth 11m) at NE. No visible trace of a fosse. Possible wall-footings protrude from the top of the bank with evidence of external stone-facing best preserved at E. 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).

• TN036-012 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on rock outcrop on flat, poorly drained pasture with a nearby mill site (TN036-013----) to the S. Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as a 'Mannor haveing the privileges of a Court leet and Court Baron, haveing also a castle thereupon out of all manner of repaire and the ruines of an old mill' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 45). The Earl of Ormond is listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.). The poorly preserved remains of an ivy-covered tower house with only the NW wall standing to full height. The ground-floor partition wall also survives. Modern farm sheds have been recently built around the base of the castle. The walls (T 1.6m approx.) are constructed with roughly coursed limestone rubble with prominent base-batter. The only feature visible on the external face of the SW wall is a large garderobe chute in the centre of the wall. The partition wall divided the ground floor into two small rooms (int. dims. c. 5m x 6m). There is a large destroyed segmental-headed fireplace in centre of the SW wall on the NE face. There were timber floors throughout carried on joists and wall plates. No other features visible. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
