• TN027-003 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  The medieval manor of Weyperous (Gué Pierreux/stony ford/Ballynaclogh) established in the early 13th century by the de Marisco was situated on a low rise of ground to the N of the crossing/fording point of the Nenagh River, in undulating countryside. The medieval settlement consisted of a medieval castle (TN027-003001-), nave and chancel parish church (TN027-003002-), medieval mill (TN002-004----). In 1284, after the death of William de Marisco, who was succeeded by his son and heir, John de Marisco, then aged 29 years old, an Inquisition into his estate taken at Cashel, described his demesne lands as partly consisting of, ‘6 knights' fees of land at Weiperons [Weyperous/Ballynaclogh), in the cantred of Ermonia [Ormond], for the service of 1 knight to be rendered to the said Theobald [Butler] when royal service is summoned, and suit at Theobald's court of le Nanath [Nenagh Castle TN020-037001-]; the 6 knights' fees are yearly worth in all issues of land as well in demesne as in seigniory £26. 13s. 4d., besides of that tenement held in dower by Bertha who was the wife of William de Marisco, junior’ (Cal. doc. Ire., Vol. 2, 510-1). In 1331 the Ormond Deeds recorded; 'An indenture, in French, made between James, Earl of Ormonde, and Gilbert Sotoun, prior of St. John's of Nenagh [TN021-042----], regarding the proposed exchange between the Earl and Stephen de Marreys [de Marisco] of the manor of Weyperous on one side and the Isle of Lundy and other lands of Stephen in England on the other. The exchange could not take place owing to the carucate of Schynnagh Me Cassin which the Earl had given to the prior. The latter now surrenders the above carucate to the Earl and if Stephen do not agree the Earl will compensate the Prior' (Curtis 1932, 267). Graham (1977, 16) lists Ballinaclogh as a medieval borough based on reference to the burgesses of Ballinaclogh in 1338. In 1356 at Nenagh Castle an Indenture was made ‘between James le Botiller, Earl of Ormond, and Edmund son of John le Botiller attests that when the Earl granted and demised to Edmund the manor of Weyperous, to have and to hold to said Edmund for term of his life, paying yearly therefor one rose at each Nativity of St. John the Baptist, Edmund agreed to repair, build and restore the said manor according to his power, within twelve years at his own cost and to dwell in the same, and after the said twelve years fully completed to render to the Earl and his heirs such annual rent and services as the Earl or four of his council chosen ad hoc should ordain’ (Curtis 1934, 26-7). In 1338 the burgesses of Weyperous paid 40s. for 3 carucates of land (Bradley 1985, 57). In 1360 a grant was made by, 'James le Botiller, Earl of Ormonde, to Edmund le Botiller of all his manor of Weyperus as fully as Herbert de Marreys [de Marisco], knight, held it of Edmund le Botiller, grandfather of the Earl. To have and to hold to him and his heirs by homage, fealty and suit at the Earl's court at Nenagh [TN020-037001-] every fortnight, rendering a rose every year at the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, and by royal service of a 100s., when scutage runs. And if Edmund die without heirs male, it is to revert to the Earl and his heirs. Given at Nenagh on Saturday next after Easter in the 34th year of Edward III' (Curtis 1932, 267). In 1598 Donell O'Mare of Lisenyskie, Co. Tipperary received sisin of the town and lands of Ballynecloghy alias Weyperous in Co. Tipperary from David McGilleduffe of Comynstown (Curtis 1943, 93).

• TN027-003001 Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle
  Description

  The medieval manor of Weyperous (Ballynaclogh/stony ford) established in the early 13th century by the de Marisco and was situated on a low rise of ground to the N of the crossing/fording point of the Nenagh River, in undulating countryside. The medieval settlement consisted of a medieval castle (TN027-003001-), nave and chancel parish church (TN027-003002-), medieval mill (TN002-004----). In 1284, after the death of William de Marisco, who was succeeded by his son and heir, John de Marisco, then aged 29 years old, an Inquisition into his estate taken at Cashel, described his demesne lands as partly consisting of, ‘6 knights' fees of land at Weiperons [Weyperous/Ballynaclogh), in the cantred of Ermonia [Ormond], for the service of 1 knight to be rendered to the said Theobald [Butler] when royal service is summoned, and suit at Theobald's court of le Nanath [Nenagh Castle]; the 6 knights' fees are yearly worth in all issues of land as well in demesne as in seigniory £26. 13s. 4d., besides of that tenement held in dower by Bertha who was the wife of William de Marisco, junior’ (Cal. doc. Ire., Vol. 2, 510-1). Medieval castle of Ballynaclogh stands today on a S-facing slope, N of the Nenagh [Geagh] River, in pastureland. This thirteenth-century manorial centre (Gleeson 1943, 129-43) consists of an earthen mound possibly formed from collapsed rubble of the stone castle, represents the site of the original fortification at Ballynaclogh, with adjacent long hall and later seventeenth-century house (TN027-003004-). The mound (20.5m E-W; H c. 2.5m) is irregularly shaped and has heaps of collapsed masonry piled around the top. A wall (1m T) oriented NE-SW transects the W side of mound. A limestone rubble wall, with base-batter, retains the base of the mound at W, extending E-W for 7.8m before turning S for a further 1.5m. The sixteenth-century Inquisition Post Mortem of James, the ninth Earl of Ormond, describes the manor of 'Weyperous' as consisting of 'one castle, one hall, once [one] chapel with a thatched roof and 2 rooms covered with tiles' (Gleeson 1951-2, 130-31).

• TN027-003002 Church
  Description

  Medieval parish church ruins of Ballynaclogh (Baile Na Cloiche/ town of the stone building) also known as Weyperous in the diocese of Killaloe, Barony of Ormond Upper, stands in the E half of a rectangular-shaped graveyard (TN027-003006-), immediately SE of a 19th century Protestant church (NIAH Reg. No. 22402701) built in 1802 with a gift of £500 from the Board of First Fruits (Erck 1820, 111). Thirteenth century castle (TN027-003001-) of Weyperous stands 120m to the W, Ballynaclogh Bridge (TN027-003005-) traversing the Nenagh River 115m to SSW. Mill depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map 300m to the W of the church may be the site of the medieval mill (TN027-002----) mentioned in the 1654-56 Civil Survey of County Tipperary. According to Gleeson (1943, 129) the manor name of Weyperous was derived from the vernacular name of 'gué pierreux' or 'stony ford' given to this manor by Norman settlers in the early 13th century. Medieval nave and chancel church of Ballynclogh listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1306 where it is referred to as 'Church de Vado petroso' [Church of the stony ford] when it was valued at 3 marks per annum and the the tithe was valued at 4s. per annum (CDI, vol. 5, 301). In 1418, Odo [Hugh] O'Hogan, clerk, of the diocese of Killaloe, who was of noble birth and had studied canon law for three years, was given a papal dispensation, as he was the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, was assigned to the rectory of 'Balynacloiche', which was vacant due to the death of 'Roderick Olonyrgayn' (O'Lonergan) (Cal. papal letters, Vol VII, 76, 91). In 1424 a papal letter was sent to the prior of Monaincha (TN018-001001-) in the diocese of killaloe, which mandated the appropriation to the Cistercian abbey of Holycross (TN047-030001-) in the diocese of Cashel, the rectory, value not exceeding 6 marks, of the parish church of Ballynaclogh (de Vadopetroso), commonly called 'Balynychloly', the cure of which is exercised by a perpetual vicar' (Cal. papal letters, Vol VII, 367-8) and whose resources are said to be insufficient for maintenance and hospitality' (Gleeson and Costello 1943, 8). In 1541 the Extents of Irish Monastic Possessions, listed the church as 'Ballynymclogher in Ormond in Okynedy's country. Value, 30s.' (White 1943, 344). In 1541 King Henry VIII granted a 21 year lease of monastic lands to John Sherlock of Waterford which included the rectory of 'Ballaghnymcloghir [Ballynaclogh] in Ordmond' (Nicholls 1994, 59). The Civil Survey of 1654-56 recorded that 'Rory Kennedy of Ballynaclohy and Donogh Kenedy of the same' were in 1640 the owners of the four ploughlands of Ballynaclogh which contained 'the stump of an Irreparable Castle [TN027-003001-] with a Church & one mill [TN027-002----], ye river of Geagh [Nenagh River] running through it' (Simington 1934, 259). Medieval parish church ruins described in 1840 as follows; ‘The old Church of Ballynaclogh is situated on level ground in a townland of the same name. It is divided into nave and choir and its walls are in good preservation. The choir measures on the inside twenty three feet [7m] in length and twenty feet [6m] in breadth and the nave fifty eight feet [17.7m] in length and twenty six feet [7.9m] in breadth. The east window forms a round arch on the inside, where it measures eight feet [2.4m] in height and four feet ten inches [1.47m] in width; on the outside it is constructed of smoothly chiselled lime stone in the pointed style, five feet six inches [1.67m] from the ground and measures five feet nine inches [1.75m] in height and one foot nine inches [0.53m] in width. It was divided into two parts by a stone mullion, which is now destroyed. At the distance of five feet four inches [1.62m] from the east gable, the south wall of the choir has a small window which is constructed of cut limestone, round headed inside, but pointed on the outside. It measures on the inside six feet seven inches [2m] in height and three feet four inches [1m] in width, and on the outside four feet six inches [1.37m] in height and seven and a half inches [0.2m] in width. Nearly opposite this the north wall of the choir contains another window placed at the distance of six feet [1.8m] from the east gable; it is constructed of cut lime stone on both sides; round headed on the inside and rectangular on the outside; on the former side it is six feet eight inches [2m] in height and three feet eight inches [1.1m] in width, and on the latter three feet nine and a half inches [1.15m] in height and eight inches in width. The choir arch is semi-circular and constructed of cut limestone; it measures nine feet nine inches [2.97m] in height and eleven feet six inches [3.5m] in width. So far the choir. Let us now go into the nave: At the distance of four feet six inches [1.37m] from the middle gable, the south wall of the nave has on it a window which is round headed on the inside and pointed on the outside, measuring on the former side seven feet five inches [2.26m] in height and three feet nine inches [1.14m] and on the latter five feet two and a half inches [1.58m] in height and eight inches [0.2m] in width. This window is constructed of cut lime stone on both sides. There is another window on the north wall directly opposite this; it is entirely disfigured on the inside but its outer part mains constructed of hammered stones in a rectangular form measuring five feet [1.5m] in height and six inches [0.15m] in width. The doorway, which is pointed and formed of cut lime stone, is on the south wall at the distance of sixteen feet six inches [5m] from the west gable. It has been recently repaired on the outside, where it measures six feet two inches [1.87m] in height and three feet eight inches [1.1m] in width; its top is destroyed on the inside, where its breadth (width) is four feet nine inches [1.44m]. The west gable seems to be surmounted with a small belfry, but it is so clothed in strong, dense, luxuriant ivy, that its form could not be seen. The sane plant conceals the windows, if there be any. The side walls of this Church are four feet three [1.3m] inches thick and about twelve feet high and built of large and some small limestones, not quarried, but found on the surface of the fields, cemented with lime and sand mortar. There is a large grave yard much in use attached to this old Church, and immediately to the north west of it there is a handsome modern Church’ (O’Flanagan 1930, 14-15). Ballynaclogh church ruins described in 1943 as follows; 'a fairly well preserved old church ruin. It is rectangular divided into choir and nave by a wall in which is a semi-circular arch, dressed with cut sandstone, measuring bout 12ft. [4m] wide by 12ft. [4m] high. The choir measures about 22ft. [6.7m] x 18ft. [5.5m]. The E. window about 2ft. [0.6m] x 8ft. [2.4m] has a rectangular cusped head of limestone and was divided into two lights by a mullion which is missing. It is round arched on the inside. There is only one other window in this portion of the church - a small single light window, similar in style to the E. window and placed near the E. gable in the S. wall. The nave is about 6ft. [1.8m] wider than the choir and about 56ft. [17m] long, near the east end of it are two small windows similar to the one in the choir opposite one another. The doorway is pointed and in the S wall 2/3rd of the way from the choir-arch. Opposite the door is a narrow gap where the wall is broken down to ground level. The walls are about 3ft. [0.9m] thick and though thickly coated with ivy are in fairly good condition. The gables are high and pointed and there seems to be a small belfry on the west one. The graveyard attached is a mixed one the church being situated in the Catholic portion' (ITA Survey). Church ruins described in 1951-2 as follows; 'The Church is now (and was also in O'Donovan's time) very heavily smothered in ivy so that one at first would suspect an early church w

  Description

  Situated on the on the SW angle of Ballynaclogh church (TN027-003002-), on the external S face of a quoin c. 3m above ground level. The figure, carved in relief, (c. 0.5m high) has a flat-topped head, jug-shaped ears, pointed chin, widely spaced almond eyes and no clear mouth. One arm is pulling the face, probably the ear, while the other arm is reaching under a leg and pulling the vulva. The legs are apart and the feet are quite badly spalled.

• TN027-003004 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Situated on a S-facing slope, N of Nenagh River with an associated earthwork castle (TN027-003001-) to the W. The sixteenth-century Inquisition Post Mortem of James the ninth Earl of Ormond describes the manor of 'weyperous' (Ballynaclogh) as consisting of 'one castle, one hall, once chapel with a thatched roof and 2 rooms covered with tiles' (Gleeson 1951-2, 130-31). The surviving building complex has been subject to much alteration which has obscured the overall plan. It consists of a much altered rectangular building (dims. 21m x 7.3m; wall T 1.25m) orientated N-S and constructed with roughly coursed limestone rubble. A large pointed, sandstone window, of thirteenth-century date, has been inserted into the N wall. It is decorated with roll-mouldings and engaged columns with leaf-shaped spurs on the bases. The upper portion of the W wall collapsed in recent years and has been rebuilt. However, two original gun loops survive at ground-floor level. At the N end of this W wall the surviving lower portion of a chimney stack is supported on four corbels - it projects from the external face between ground and first-floor level. Internally the fireplace has been reconstructed. Towards the S end of the W wall there are the remains of an internal cross-wall (T 0.6m) which has brick and slate incorporated in the masonry. The S wall is no longer standing and the E wall was completely modified when the W gable of a later seventeenth-century house was incorporated into it. This seventeenth-century building consists of a long rectangular room (int. Wth 5.8m) with a small room (ext. Wth 2.25m) running parallel to the N side. It appears to have been divided from it by a wooden partition, the shadow of which is visible in surviving internal plaster. As only the W wall of this small room survives the original plan is not possible to ascertain. A chimney stack in the centre of the W gable of the main room projects internally, providing fireplaces at ground and first-floor level. There is also a rectangular ope in this gable at first-floor level. The smaller, parallel room, also has fireplaces in its W gable at ground and first-floor level. The S wall is lower than its original height and is surmounted by eighteenth-century crenellations. The N and E walls do not survive above ground.

• TN027-003005 Bridge
  Description

  This bridge crosses the Nenagh River which flows NW-SE immediately S of Ballynaclogh village with a church and graveyard (TN027-003002-), seventeenth-century house (TN027-003004-) and castle site (TN027-003001-) to the NE and NW respectively. A humpback bridge (L 28m; Wth 4.6m) with four round-headed arches and three cutwaters upstream to the NW supporting three V-plan refuges (Wth 1.5m; D 0.7m). The parapet on the SE side is 1.25m H. The bridge is of two-phase construction. The original arch was 3.25m wide and this was broadened on the SE side by a further 2.2m. The most westerly span is 3.2m wide. The voussoirs upstream to the NW consist of roughly cut long limestone blocks set on edge unlike those on the downstream side which are shorter cut blocks. No visible evidence of wicker-centring under the arches. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

  Description

  Situated in the E half of a rectangular graveyard (TN027-003006-), immediately SE of a Protestant church. Listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302 where it is referred to as 'Church de Vado petroso' (CDI, vol. 5, 301). A nave and chancel church (TN027-003002-) built of roughly coursed limestone rubble which has been heavily repointed. Some dressed limestone quoins survive and of particular note is a sheela-na-gig (TN027-003003-) carved in relief on the S face of a quoin in the SW angle. Only the top half of a medieval floriated tapering graveslab (dims. H 0.54m; Top Wth 0.5m; base Wth 0.45m; avg. T 0.2m) standing upright in the chancel of the church is visible above the surface of the church. The weathered slab is decorated with a poorly preserved fleur-de-lis carved in false relief with a raised border or band (Wth 0.03m) running around the edge of the slab. On one side of the upright slab there are the remains of a shallow roll moulding running up the side the slab, this feature may have acted as a stop for the slab when it was resting on top of the stone coffin.

  Description

  Ballynaclogh nave and chancel church (TN027-003002-) stands in the E quadrant of a rectangular-shaped graveyard (TN027-003006-), immediately SE of a 19th century Protestant church. Only the top half of a possible 13th/14th century recumbent graveslab (dims. L 0.73m x Wth 0.43m x T 0.16m) with pointed top is now visible lying against the internal face of the E gable of the medieval parish church ruins. The broken slab is decorated with a double line quatrefoil cross surmounting a twin line incised shaft with circular knop just below the cross head. The pointed shape of this graveslab is similar to the late thirteenth/early fourteenth-century graveslab (TN042-052004) in Twomileborris graveyard (TN042-052006-).The cross-head formed by four incised rings is an unusual motif and in England is dated to the late 12th-13th century where it is seen as an early type of cross-slab in the development of this type of cross which is succeeded by crosses formed with broken rings (Ryder 1991, 52). A similar cross formed with four broken rings can be seen on a head slab (WX029-013035-) at St. Mary's Church (WX029-013002-), New Ross, Co. Wexford which has been dated to the late 13th/early 14th century (Hunt 1974, Vol. 2, Plate 97; Vol. 1, 239, No. 269). This graveslab may be related to the Group 3 type floriated cross-slab identified by Maher (1997, 16-19) and best exemplified by cross-slabs no. 2 and 3 (TS070-040091/082-) at Fethard Holy Trinity Church (TS070-040001), Co. Tipperary (ibid., Fig. 31, 86). It is possible that the medieval cross slab grave cover at Ballynaclogh dates from the 13th rather than the 14th century.
