• TS063-036001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In improved pasture, on a S-facing slope. It is conjoined with a ringfort (TS063-036----) from W to NW. A sub-circular area (dims. 31m E-W; 36.65m N-S) defined by a substantial earthen bank (Wth at top 1.5m; overall Wth 11.5m; int. H 2.05m; ext. H 2.1m) NW-E-SE and levelled arc of bank, reduced to scarp (Wth 9.65m; H0.9m) in the S quadrant and fosse (basal Wth 1.8m; overall Wth 10.85m; D 1.6m) NW-E-SE. The monument is truncated by a linear earthen field boundary (Wth at top 0.6m; overall Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.7m) and drain across the S-arc and a similar boundary forms the division between the conjoined ringfort (TS063-036----) to W. There is a gap (Wth 5m) at the W end of the S side of the later field boundary. The bank has been backfilled into the area of conjoined fosse at W and only a short return of fosse exists at SW and NW. The interior slopes down steeply with prevalent slope and is planted with beech and conifer trees. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS071-003001 Church
  Description

  In grassland on top of a low rise of ground with good views in all directions. In the Ecclesiastical Taxation of the Diocese of Cashel in 1302 AD, the church at Cloneen or Clonynger was valued at 40 shillings (CDI vol. 3, 284). Ó Cearbhaill (2007, 59-61) equates this church with Kilburry or Cill Bhearaigh, the church of Bearach. The church in 1640 was a vicarage belonging to the Bishopric of Cashel. The glebeland of Cloneen church consisted of 2 acres of arable land which was worth 5 shillings a year and was situated in the lands of Milltowne. In the Civil Survey of 1654 Richard Brymiidgham (Bermingham) is listed as proprietor of the lands of Ballyhomuck which consisted of 109 acres, of which 80 were arable, 24 acres of pasture and 5 acres of woodland, all of which was valued at 10 pounds per year (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 167). This is probably the same Richard who died in 1672 and whose memorial is now located in the NE corner of the chancel. In the Civil Survey he is listed as an Irish papist in 1640 (ibid.). There appears to have been a small settlement clustered around the church which in the Civil Survey is referred to as a 'towne' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 381). The church, built with coursed limestone rubble (overall ext. dims. N-S; 27m E-W; wall T 0.8m), consists of a ruinous early medieval nave (int. dims. 9.5m N-S; 16.4m E-W) and chancel (int. dims.7.5m N-S; 10.5m E-W ) and is situated in the N quadrant of a rectangular graveyard (TS071-003002-). Only the lower courses of the N wall of the nave and chancel survive while the S wall of the chancel has been removed and only the southern half of the W gable survives. Most of the S wall of the nave survives to full height. Originally there were two doorways into the nave at the W end of the N and S walls, but only evidence for the doorway in the S wall survives. There is possible evidence for a wall-walk along the walls of the nave, with evidence of a string course and drain holes at the top of the S wall of the nave, suggesting the roof sat below the top of the side walls. There is evidence for a rood screen which was attached to the chancel arch via beam holes which are still visible in the N and S jambs. A two-light window is barely visible in the ivy-covered E gable. Near the NE corner of the chancel there is a 17th-century memorial slab (TS071-003004-) dedicated to Richard Bermingham. A recent clean-up of the graveyard recovered a medieval floriated graveslab (TS071-003003-) which was used as a building stone in the fabric of the S wall of the nave immediately E of the doorway. There is evidence of a blocked up single-light lancet window off centre to E in the S wall of the nave and also for a destroyed window directly opposite in the N wall, of which only the E window embrasure survives.

• TS071-003002 Graveyard
  Description

  In the Civl Survey of 1654 Richard Brymiidgham (Bermingham) is listed as proprietor of the lands of Ballyhomuck which consisted of 109 acres, of which 80 were arable, 24 acres of pasture and 5 acres of woodland, all of which was valued at 10 pounds per year (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 167). This is probably the same Richard who died in 1672 and whose memorial (TS071-003004-) is now located in the NE corner of the chancel. The graveyard is located in grassland atop low rise of ground with good views in all directions, rectangular graveyard (int. dims. 34m N-S; 46m E-W) enclosed by a limestone wall containing 18th and 19th century memorials. Several architectural fragments have been inserted into the graveyard as grave markers. Early medieval church (TS071-003001-) located near N boundary wall of graveyard, recent burials to N of church between N wall of church and N wall of graveyard. Majority of memorials are situated immediatley E, S and W of the nave and chancel church. A recent clean-up of the graveyard recovered a medieval floriated graveslab (TS0083-019082-) which was used as a building stone in the fabric of the S wall of the nave immediately E of the doorway.

• TS071-003003 Graveslab
  Description

  Medieval floriated gravelsab found in the fabric of the S wall of the nave of a medieval church (TS071-003001-) immediately E of the doorway. The slab itself consists of a coffin-shaped sandstone slab which survives in two portions, unfortunately there was a third middle portion which is now missing. The upper portion represents the top of the slab and measures 0.60m in length, 0.46m in width at its broken top, 0.40m in width at its broken base and 0.11m in average thickness. This portion tapers inwards from top to base. The lower portion represents the base of the slab and measures 0.15m in length, 0.23m in width at its broken top and 0.17m at its base. The middle portion of the slab which connected the two pieces is now missing. Originally the slab would have measured approximately 1.8-1.9m in overall length; 0.50m top width; 0.17m base width; average thickness 0.11m. The top portion of the slab is incomplete and the top of the floriated cross is missing. The slab is decorated with an incised six-armed floriated cross with a central knop halfway up the incised shaft of the cross. Originally 4 of the diagonal arms of the cross head terminated in a fleur-de-lis symbol of which only the lower sinister (left) and dexter (right) quadrants survive. Interestingly the two horizontal arms of the cross have rectangular terminals which is an unusual feature for floriated graveslabs. Another unusual feature is the presence of a roll-moulding which runs around the edge of the sandstone slab framing the floriated cross. Also unusual is the lack of symmetry in the size the fleur-de-lis terminals, the terminal on the sinister (left) side of the cross is much larger than the terminal on the dexter (right) side. The coffin-shaped slab with the roll moulding framing the edge of the slab was either a coffin lid for a sarcophagus or as a cover for a slab-lined grave. The presence of the roll-moulding may suggest that it was used as coffin lid for a sarcophagus. It is more usual to find a chamfer running around the edge of the medieval grave-slab. The shape and style of the fleur-de-lis, the use of the roll moulding and its tapered form along with the use of sandstone suggest a 13th-century date for this graveslab. This graveslab (TS083-019082-) is now located in Tipperary South Riding County Museum. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS071-003004 Graveslab
  Description

  In the NE corner of the chancel of the medieval church (TS071-003001-) there is a recumbent 17th-century graveslab dedicated to Richard Bermingham who died on the 25th of June 1672. The Civl Survey (1654-6) lists Richard Brymiidgham (Bermingham) as the proprietor, in1640, of the lands of Ballyhomuck which consisted of 109 acres, of which 80 were arable, 24 acres of pasture and 5 acres of woodland, all of which was valued at 10 pounds per year (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 167). This graveslab probably belongs to the same Richard. The inscription runs around the edge of the slab and was carved in raised relief using Roman capitals with a cross carved in relief in the centre of the slab. The inscription reads: HIC JACET RICARDUS BERMINGHAM NOBILIS DE BALLYHOMICK QUI OBIT XXV JUNII ANNO DNI MDCLXXII (Brennan 1854-55, 214-15). This translates as: Here lies Richard Bermingham of Ballyhomick who died on the 25th of June in the year of our Lord 1672. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 29 September 2014
