Recorded monuments

• TS085-004004 Religious house - Franciscan friars
  Description

  On the S bank of the River Suir, on the E side of Abbey Hill Road in Carrickbeg. It is partly incorporated in modern St. Molleran's RC church. This Franciscan friary was founded in 1336 by James Butler, first Earl of Ormond, supposedly on the site of the initial manor castle (Bradley 1985, 41). The first guardian, Friar Clyn, wrote that the said James Butler 'gave the franciscans his castle as a friary at Carrick' (Crowley 1978, 7). Construction of the friary appears to have been slow as twelve years after the foundation date the friars were granted land by the second Earl for a dwelling-house, out-buildings, a church and an oratory (Crowley 1978, 8), with the proviso that twelve friars could be suitably maintained (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 243). According to tradition the church was in ruins by 1447 when it was re-founded by Edward Mac Richard Butler (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 143). In 1540, with the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the friary was surrendered by the then prior William Cormoke. At this time the friary possessed 'a church and steeple, chapter-house, dormitory, hall, three chambers, kitchen, stable and gardens...the buildings being ruinous and accounted of no value (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 243-4). The friary was subsequently granted to James Butler, the then current Earl of Ormond. The RC parish church of St. Molleran, built in 1827, incorporates the tower, part of the N wall and W doorway of the original friary church. The latter appears to have been c. 6.4m longer and narrower than the present church (Crowley 1978, 18). A drawing dating to c. 1702 and another from the 18th century indicate a large arched opening in the W end of the N wall, which may have lead to a side chapel. In the W gable there is a very fine 14th-century pointed doorway (H c. 6m) executed in sandstone. The capitals are beautifully decorated, that on the N side with a series of four female heads, beneath which is a male head wearing a type of mitre (Hunt 1974, vol.1, 220, ii pl. 126). The ornamentation on the S capital consists of dog-tooth, roll-moulding and a foliage motif. Also in the W gable, inserted above the central window, there is a limestone armorial plaque which is possibly of 17th-century date. The N wall, (L c. 32.5m), incorporates much of the friary, including an unusual hanging tower which is supported by a large pyramidal corbel. A three-storey bellcote (dims. 3.4m square externally) also projects out of the N wall. It is possible that this structure, which may be of 15th-century date, was built up against the E wall of the former side chapel. The tower was lit by long rectangular opes at first and second-floor level in the E wall and the bellcote itself surmounts the N wall. There is a 19th-century buttress at the NE corner of the church, one of the quoins of which is a reused stone with a projecting carved head. A 16th/17th-century graveslab (TS085-004014-) is embedded in the ground at the base of the S wall of the present church, near the SW corner. An effigy (TS085-004039-) from the friary, illustrated in 1781 by Austin Cooper (Price 1942, 20, plate 31; Harbison 2000, 56-7) is now missing.

• TS085-004005 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  On the S bank of the River Suir, on the E side of Abbey Hill Road in Carrickbeg. The Franciscan friary and subsequent RC church are supposedly built on the site of the initial manor castle (Bradley 1985, 41). It was granted to the friars in 1336 by James Butler, the first Earl of Ormond (ibid.). The first guardian, Friar Clyn, wrote that the said James 'gave the franciscans his castle as a friary at Carrick' (Crowley 1978, 7). There is no trace of the original castle above ground.

• TS085-004007 Bridge
  Description

  This bridge crosses the River Suir and connects Carrick-on-Suir with Carrickbeg, running from Bridge Street in the former to Abbey Hill in the latter. There are records of pontage grants made in 1343 to 1356 (Bradley 1985, 41) and portions of the bridge possibly date from this time (O'Keefe and Simington 1991, 156-8). The present eight arch structure has been dated to 1447 (Craig and Garner 1975, 16-18) but it may be of 16th-century date (O'Keefe and Simington 1991, 156-8). The bridge is depicted on the Down Survey map of 1656. The present bridge (L 91.4m; Wth 4.6m) consists of eight segmental arches (Wth 6m), the S arch was widened in the late 18th/early 19th century to double its width (Wth 15.2m). There are massive triangular cutwaters on the upriver side which have been brought up to parapet level to form pedestrian refuges, while the rectangular piers on the downriver side are also brought up to form similar refuges in the parapet wall. There is a large rectangular refuge at the middle of the bridge which is known as 'Nailers House'. Simington and O'Keefe (1991, 156-8) date the bridge, based on structural form, to the 15th or 16th century. According to Pollock (2004, 472) an arch uncovered in the bridge during an excavation in 2001 may be of 15th- or 17th-century date. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS085-004011 Church
  Description

  Power (1896, 5-6) states that, 'Close by the remains of the quondam [former] Friary [the Franciscan friary TS085-004004], and separated from the latter by little more than the width of the public road, is the ancient cemetery of Killmoleran, from the church of which the parish is named...Not a trace of the ancient church survives; even tradition has no record of its exact site. The cemetery [TS085-0004031-] is popularly known as Relig na muc, or the Pig's Cemetery, though the origin of the sobriquent is unknown'. This church and graveyard were erroneously located at the graveyard associated with the modern Franciscan church but have been re-located to the graveyard at the junction of Mass Road and Mothel Road which is known locally as Relig na Muc.

• TS085-004014 Graveslab
  Description

  On the S bank of the River Suir, on the E side of Abbey Hill Road in Carrickbeg in the grounds of the Franciscan friary (TS085-004004-) which is partly incorporated in modern St. Molleran's RC church. A fragment (dims. 0.57m x 0.51m; T 0.07m) of a 16th/17th-century limestone graveslab lies embedded in the ground at the base of the S wall of the present church, near the SW corner (Farrelly and FitzPatrick 1993, 20). It is inscribed along the sinister side with raised latin script and there is a faint suggestion of a cross shaft towards the centre (ibid.).

• TS085-004039 Tomb - effigial
  Description

  Hunt (1974, vol. 1, 221) lists an effigy, possibly that of a woman, from Carrickbeg which was illustrated by Austin Cooper (Price 1942, 20, plate 31; Harbison 2000, 56-7) in 1781. According to the caption on Cooper's drawing, the effigy is from 'An Old Tomb in the Abbey of Carrick-beg' (Price 1942, 20, plate 31; Harbison 2000, 56-7; NLI, Coo 2122 TX(1) 22). This abbey is the Franciscan friary (TS083-004004-), the surviving remains of which are incorporated into the RC church of St Molleran which was built in 1827. Recently exposed during graveyard cleanup scheme the top of the slab is visible protruding above the surface of the graveyard, against the inner face of the graveyard wall.

  Description

  Originally located at a fork in a laneway on a steep NW-facing slope in the wood in Reatagh townland in Waterford (WA004-023----), overlooking a small valley with a stream. The stone was removed to its present location for safe keeping some years before 1989. The bullaun is a D-shaped conglomerate stone (dims. 0.8m x 0.5m; max. T 0.35m) with one oval basin (dims. 0.26m x 0.24m; D 0.9m). According to one local source the stone is called the 'Hatter's Stone' as felt hats were moulded in the basin.
