• TS068-061001 Enclosure
  Description

  In the farmyard of a working farm. A ringfort (TS068-060----) lies c. 300m to SW. All that survives visible above ground are traces of a possible fosse NW-N-NE and SE-S-SW. The fosse (Wth c. 4.2m; D c. 0.6-0.8m) is more apparent on the southern arc and is waterlogged. The OS Letters c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1930, vol.1, 82) describe the 'fort' as being 'fifty four paces in diameter but its ramparts will soon be carried away to manure the surrounding fields'. White (1892, 30) mentions that the enclosure consisted of 'two dykes containing water as a means of defence; and that in one of these an old boat was found; and that when these works were taken away, a large quantity of excellent manure was procured'. A trackway respects the interior of the fosse along the N-arc and a trackway flanks the exterior of the fosse along the S-arc. A trackway runs along the E arc of the enclosing elements and a field boundary defines the W sector. The interior of the is occupied by a modern farmyard of concrete block buildings and walls. There is an earlier farmyard to the E. There are the possible ivy-covered remains of a castle (TS068-061002-) within the SW sector of the enclosure, just outside the modern farmyard. Excavations N of Boytonrath castle (TS068-061002-) and enclosure produced no definite evidence of medieval settlement, though it may have been removed by ploughing (Moran 1995, 80).

• TS068-061002 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  In farmyard of working farm. Castle within SW area of enclosure (TS068-061001-), just outside modern farmyard. Not visible above ground level except for some ivy covered fragments of masonry. The OS Letters c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 82) describe the remains of the castle as 'fragments of the walls of a square castle which was forty two feet [12.8m] by twenty one feet [6.4m] on the inside. The walls are six feet thick [1.8m], built of limestone grouted. The largest fragment remaining is only twelve feet [3.65m] in height'. According to White (1892, 30) the castle was 'evidently blown up powder. The walls lie scattered about in large masses; and the courses of the mason work plainly indicated that some of them lie on the side'. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS068-062 Church
  Description

  On a gradual E-facing slope in flat terrain, surrounded by pasture, with farm buildings to S and W. Boytonrath tower house (TS068-061002-) and surrounding enclosure (TS068-061001-) are located c. 170m and c. 100m to the SW respectively. A large nave (int. dims. c. 12m total length E-W; 6.62m N-S) and chancel (int. dims. 8.45m E-W; 4.8m N-S) church is constructed of limestone rubble, roughly coursed (T 0.9m). The church is heavily overgrown with ivy and both the interior and exterior were heavily overgrown with scrub and nettles at time of inspection. Only fragmentary remains of the nave survive, including a good length of the S wall (L 10.52m; H c. 3m) with broken-out remains of a doorway and a splayed embrasure towards the E end of the S wall with a very narrow broken out single-light window. The W gable is no longer standing but its position is indicated by a slight scarp. The N wall does not survive beyond a short return at the NW angle of the nave. The chancel has been heavily rebuilt with four windows, two in the N and two in the S wall, inserted in the 19th century, now all blocked up, as is the E window which is heavily overgrown with ivy. The E window, according to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 82) 'forms on the inside an obtuse arch at top, where it is constructed of thin hammered stones, and measures four feet nine inches [1.45m] in height and four feet [1.2] in width, but on the outside it is constructed of chiselled sandstone of a brownish color, is rectangular at top and measures three feet [0.9m] in height and seven inches [0.18m] in width. Its lower part is at the height of six feet four inches [1.9m] from the present level of the ground'. The chancel arch has been rebuilt with brick voussoirs and the W gable of the chancel (T 1.1m) also appears to be rebuilt or heavily restored. According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 82) 'the sidewalls of the choir have been lately rebuilt by a Mr. Roe with an intention of roofing it for a burial place for himself and family but the east gable is original'. There are no indications of burials within the chancel, which has several large badger holes. There is a headstone to John Roe immediately S of the church, which appears to be dated 1895; this may be the person responsible for rebuilding the chancel.

• TS068-062001 Graveyard
  Description

  On a gradual E facing slope in flat terrain, surrounded by pasture. Farm buildings to S and W. A rectangular graveyard (dims. 30m N-S; 40m E-W) with a church (TS068-062----) located in the N part of the graveyard. Graveyard is heavily overgrown with trees, scrubs and nettles. The majority of headstones are located S of the church and are late 18th, 19th and early 20th century in date. There are two headstones within the interior of the nave, one a Butler headstone of 18th date and the other a Barrer headstone of 19th/early 20th century date. Towards the W end of the interior of the nave there is a headstone dedicated to the memory of the O'Connor family from 1917 to 1959 which appears to be late 20th century in date.

• TS068-063 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on a SSE-facing slope. Oval area (dims. c. 25m N-S; c. 18m E-W) defined by low earthen bank (int. Wth 2.15m; ext. Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.45m) SW-W-NE and scarp (Wth 4m; H 1m) ESE-SW. Bank (L c. 14m) has been levelled out ENE-ESE, probably in the area of the original entrance and only a slight lip rises here from exterior to interior. Interior slopes down sharply to S with prevalent slope. Ringfort (TS068-058001-) and enclosure (TS068-058002-) are located c. 335m to NW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS068-064 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a gentle E-facing slope. Sub-circular area (dims. 51m N-S; 53m E-W) defined by low earthen bank (Wth 8.6m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.55m) which is reduced to a scarp (Wth 4m; H 1.5m) at W-NW. Bank/scarp appears linear along W-side and is badly eroded by cattle on exterior all around. Causewayed entrance (Wth 4.3m) at E. External fosse (Wth 8.15m; D 0.6m) visible NW-WSW. Large depression in fosse at ENE may indicate quarrying activities. Interior in pasture and tends downslope to E. Enclosure (TS068-066001-) and earthworks (TS068-066002-) c. 200m to SE. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS068-148 House - 17th century
  Description

  The Civil Survey (1654-6) refers to 'a thatcht house' in Boytonrath under the proprietorship in 1640 of James Butler 'Irish Papist' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 238). White (1892, 30), in describing Boytonrath castle (TS068-061002-) mentions that 'Mr John Loughnane, P.L.G., who resided in the adjoining, (which bye the bye is about the oldest country house I have ever seen, one of the oak collar beams bearing the date of 1641)'. The house marked on the 1st (1840) and 2nd (1900-05) ed. OS 6-inch maps is located c. 20m SE of the enclosure (TS068-061001-) surrounding Boytonrath castle. It appears to be a long, narrow house (L c. 30-35m; D c. 6m). There is no visible trace of this house above ground. The present house on the location appears to be of 19th or early 20th-century date.
