• TN017-023 Enclosure
  Description

  Located on a SE-facing slope in undulating pastureland. Indicated on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map as a roughly semicircular area with a field boundary oriented roughly N-S along the W side. Though not indicated on the 1901-5 ed. this site is visible as a low, semicircular rise (dims. 30m N-S; 22m E-W) with a very gentle slope to the exterior (H c. 0.6m). The site appears to have been truncated by a field boundary as on the OS 6-inch map but there is no visible evidence of the site W of this boundary. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

• TN017-029 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope, which falls quite steeply immediately NE of site. A stream flows roughly NE-SW c. 50m N-NW of site. A deep drainage gully dug at the base of the slope to the NE diverts the flow of the stream. Indicated as a large, roughly triangular enclosure outlined by two concentric lines (banks) on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map but not shown on the subsequent 1901-5 ed. Not visible at ground level. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

• TN017-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a S-facing slope in rolling pastureland. A stream runs NW-SE c. 50m S of the site. Indicated as a circular enclosure outlined by two concentric rings on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map but not shown on the current (1901-05) ed. The site has been levelled but is still visible as a roughly circular area (diam. 30m N-S; c. 37m E-W) defined by a low, much flattened bank (Wth c. 4.8m; ext. H 0.34m). A dip in bank in the S quadrant may indicate the location of a former entrance. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN017-031 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a gentle S-facing slope in rolling pastureland which has been reclaimed. Depicted as an irregular-shaped enclosure outlined by an inner and outer line on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map and as a roughly circular enclosure on the current (1901-05) ed. with a section of fosse at S. Although the site has been levelled the circular outline (diam. 36m N-S and E-W) is visible as a low raised area (ext. H 0.53m) with a very shallow outer fosse (Wth 4.1m). Illustrated as D-shaped on the 1835 OS and circular on the 1904 Edition. Within the LMA the internal area (excluding the ditch) is c.54m E-W x 22m N-S. The 1904 Edition shows the ringfort as circular. The ditch is 4m wide x 1.5m - 2m deep. Approximately 40% of the site is within the LMA. A DTM topographic survey of the ringfort both inside and outside the LMA has been completed. The ringfort base is formed of a terrace of subsoil that is up to 1m higher than the ground to the S. There is clear evidence for a partly ploughed out bank inside the ditch. On the W side is a building with a large hearth and an unstratified iron knife, copper alloy stick pin and a flat metal disc-like ornament were found in cleaning this area. On the E side of the interior is a Christian style cemetery with minimum of 20 - 40 (possibly more) adults and juveniles aligned E-W (head to west). Concerning the burials: • one grave has been exposed with stone head supports, • one has a grave cut lined with small stones, • one individual was buried in a slightly flexed position with the knees supported by rocks, • one grave appeared to contain the remains of two individuals • one grave contains either a severely trussed individual in a crouched position OR is an ossuary pit. These features would imply an Early Medieval date for the burials (5th to 7th century AD). The upper graves have been disturbed by ploughing and are very fragmentary Below the plough disturbed burials are further burials (although still in a relatively poor condition) that are clearly covered by the ringfort bank collapse. The cemetery appears to have a clear limit (marked by a slot) to the SW and W and presumably continues NE beyond the LMA. No formal grave goods have been found. Phase 2 Bank (and possibly ditch) A line of stakeholes (50mm at most) along the base of the external face of the ringfort bank appears to be a form of revetting. A similar arrangement appears to have held back the internal bank face. The use of wood implies a vertical palisade / wattle fence up to 1m high maximum on each face and a central mass of mud brick or a type of clunch (clay-stone mix). The relationship of the bank, revetting stakes and cemetery appears to show the bank structure covered some of the graves, implying that the bank (and presumably the large ditch) was a second phase (c.7th - 10th century). During this phase several postholes and pits also cut through the cemetery. A small bowl furnace had been set into the base of the (collapsed) bank on the S side. The interior is cut across by many plough furrows. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN017-031002 Kiln
  Description

  Outside the TN017-031 ringfort on the SE side is a stone-lined kiln. The kiln appears to be set near to a curving field boundary to the W and is possibly associated with a linear boundary to the E. Such a position and style of kiln is reminiscent of Killeisk (Contract 1) where a possible late medieval / post-medieval lime kiln was found. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.

• TN017-077 Burnt mound
  Description

  The site was first highlighted from a burnt mound type deposit. This deposit had been smeared over the top of the enclosure ditch fill but after cleaning was seen to be cut by the ditch. Beneath the burnt mound deposit were two very large troughs. A rectangular trough (apparently wood lined) leading across a saddle to an oval trough, which, in turn had a drain leading out the W. Such a partition is a normal way of 'filtering' water by having the sediment drop out in the first trough and then the 'purer' water passes over a saddle into the second trough. Since no incoming water channel has been identified, in this case, the construction might be a way conserving / reusing water that, as the rectangular trough was filled with hot stones, volume increased and the water overflows across the saddle into the second trough. The overflow water was perhaps already partially heated and can then be boiled up to double the Burnt Mound trough volume. Some stakeholes next to the troughs might be associated. The presence of the copper alloy palstave axe (found in testing) buried in secret c.40m to the N of the burnt mound shows LBA activity in the area. The axe has gone to Susannah Kelly for initial cleaning and conservation. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

• TN017-077001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  A circular ringfort c.29 x 28m in diameter internally placed on a slightly higher, level terrace than the surrounding (stripped) surface. The ringfort actually sits at the top of a long, gentle slope that drops to the south. The ringfort ditch is c.2m wide x 1m deep max. with a causewayed entrance to the E. The entrance has clearly been narrowed with the terminals of both ditch sections extended towards each other. From slippage it seems there was an unfaced / un-revetted bank on the inside of the ditch. Occasional wooden sticks have been found in the base of the ditch but none of them seems to be worked. The ditch fills present a uniform, mostly waterlain fill. Numerous features inside have not resolved into any clear buildings or areas of use. The S side of ditch contains extensive deposits of slag including furnace bottoms showing significant metalworking on the site. Also frag of a bone pin from ditch and occ fragments of animal bone. Internally, no clear buildings or hearths were identified and there is no clear evidence for domestic refuse. Externally to the N are what appear to be lines of stakeholes that may show short fences or buildings. A bowl furnace was found 20m S of the ringfort. Modern field boundaries The site has numerous ditches that appear to run into the ringfort ditch but also large ditches, drains and furrows that cut right through the site.

• TN017-077003 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Very thin burnt spread overlay a long (c.2.5m), relatively narrow trough (c.0.8) that had been partly lined by ramming rocks into the sides. The W end had a step made of stone flags that probably supported a sheltered hearth. This end of the trough was screened by a windbreak on the NW side. However, if this step supported a hearth, this only left c.0.30m of depth in the trough. The E end of the trough was poorly defined and it appears there was a sluice to let the water out into a badly eroded gully. On the NE side of the trough was a very large circular well c.2m across x 1.5m deep that cut the water table. A couple of pits. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

• TN017-078 Burnt mound

• TN017-079 Burnt mound
  Description

  Along the centre chainage line are three burnt mounds, each associated with a spring line. The W mound is around 40m across x up to 1m high and is associated with a peaty area of ground to the S, in which there are occasional pieces of unworked wood. This is the spring marked on the 1835 Survey from which water was drawn until recently. To the west is the location of an earlier, probably prehistoric spring which seems to have been the focus for the Burnt Mound/ On clearing back the burnt mound heap a series of at least three troughs (lined with wood) are seen in this area and to the east is a mass of pitting or hollows. The mound had clearly been levelled and cut through with many ditches and modern drains. Some of these ditches are shown on the 1835 and 1904 Surveys. One of a group of three burnt mounds.

• TN017-080 Enclosure
  Description

  On the NE side of the site is a circular slot-trench enclosure approx. 25m in diameter. The slot is full of post-packing stones and no break is visible. The slot still partly lies underneath a baulk along the N LMA. Internally there are at least three curving slots, each one filled with stones but none defining a complete circle and all are small (max. 3m diam). These possibly represent buildings. The enclosure is notably positioned on a slope. Presumably, it was deliberately pitched like this to allow visibility in/out or even for drainage on this hillside (flat areas of terraces are available if they had wanted to build on them). This enclosure compares well to the Bronze Age enclosures found at Ballybrowney Lower, Co. Cork (Eamonn Cotter, 2005, 'Bronze Age Ballybrowney, County Cork' in NRA Monograph No. 2).

• TN017-081 House - Bronze Age
  Description

  Two buildings are under excavation. Both exhibit the same form of construction in that they use a slot trench for vertical timbers on the northern (upslope) side and then have a posthole built southern face. It is not known if the buildings were formally closed along the posthole side. One building is approximately 7.5m in diameter and the other is approximately 5m in diameter. One of these buildings contains a substantial internal hearth - the scorched area from this hearth almost reaches the S face postholes. On the form of these buildings it is possible the 'C' rings in the palisade enclosure are also buildings. At least one more circular slot-trench building is visible and another two appear to be solely of posts around a central hearth. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

• TN017-082 Enclosure
  Description

  On a natural terrace downslope from the ringfort TN017-031 on the southern side of the site is a second ringfort / enclosure. The enclosure is slightly oval 35m N-S x 40m E-W and the ditch is at least 3m wide. A causeway entrance is visible on the southern side. Internally there are many features but most of these are currently assumed to be earlier cremations. However, a much disturbed series of set stones on the NE side may be the remains of corn dryers surrounded by a posthole building. The enclosure is very noticeably flat on the interior and could be a separate stock / animal corral associated with the TN017-031 ringfort. However, the size of the enclosure ditch is rather large for a simple animal enclosure and it is likely that ringfort is a combination settlement - animal pen. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.

• TN017-083 Enclosure
  Description

  Circular enclosure c.30m diameter of trench and packing stones, possibly with an entrance to the south-east. Very similar to the presumed Bronze Age enclosure at Camlin 3. To the south a causewayed ditch appears to be an annex enclosure. Further to the S are groups of posts that might be buildings and hearths or cremations. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
