• TS049-002 Settlement cluster
  Description

  On flat, level terrain with very good views to the N and W. The view S and E is dominated by the Slieveardagh hills. An Anglo-Norman masonry castle (TS049-002001-) was built at Clonamickon c. 1306 by John Butler, son of Edmond Butler, the first Earl of Carrick. The Civil Survey (1654-6) lists ‘Pierce Lord Viscount Ikeryn Irish Papist’ as the proprietor of ‘Clonomilcon’ in 1640 and ‘Upon this land stands a good castle, a slate house with a large bawne & some houses abroade’ (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 128). On the Down Survey map (1655-58) the castle is depicted with five houses which may suggest that there was a settlement associated with the castle. Archaeological excavations 13.6m N of the castle revealed a drainage ditch and a sub-rectangular ditch (Moran 1996). According to the excavator, the sub-rectangular ditch and associated pits, surface and soil which accumulated over these features suggests there was occupation to the E of the ditch, though no datable evidence was recovered (ibid.). There is no visible trace of a settlement above ground. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 09 January 2012

• TS049-002001 Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle
  Description

  On flat, level terrain with very good views to the N and W. The view S and E is dominated by the Slieveardagh hills. The castle is believed to have been built c. 1306 by John Butler, son of Edmond Butler, the first Earl of Carrick. The Civil Survey (1654-6) lists ‘Pierce Lord Viscount Ikeryn Irish Papist’ as the proprietor of ‘Clonomilcon’ in 1640 and ‘Upon this land stands a good castle, a slate house with a large bawne’ (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 128). A late 13th/early 14th-century Anglo-Norman masonry castle built of limestone rubble, roughly coursed with rather crude quoins. The castle includes a keep which is located roughly midway along the NW curtain wall; though the latter abuts the W angle of the keep it is not keyed into it. The almost square curtain (ext. dims. 45.8m NE-SW; 42m NW-SE; wall T 1.5m; max. H 4.4m; base-batter H 1.45m; Wth 0.7m) has two three-storey angle towers, one circular (ext. dims. c. 6m NW-SE; c. 5.5m NE-SE) at the S angle, the other D-shaped (int. dims. 2.6m E-W; 3m N-S; wall T 1.3m) at the E angle. The angle towers were modified in the 16th /early 17th century with the insertion of windows, one with a hood-moulding, and a quatrefoil gun-loop at second-floor level in the E tower. The curtain wall is well preserved along the SE and SW side, though the latter has suffered in recent years due to fire damage. The E end of the NE side survives for 11.2m from the E tower, but the remaining length as well as the N angle and the N end of the NW wall are not visible above ground level. The entrance, which is towards the S end of the SE wall, is accompanied by a gatehouse which occupies the S angle. Craig and Garner (1975, 107-109) describe ‘a small once-vaulted building, no larger than a shed’ (dims. c. 5m NW-SE; c. 4.5m NE-SW) 2m NE of the keep but this is no longer visible above ground. The area within the curtain wall is currently occupied by large farm buildings. The original window embrasures of the castle are typically 13th/early 14th century in form, straight-sided with round-arches formed by small voussoirs with the soffit often sloping upward towards the interior. Three late 13th/early 14th-century oeillet cross-loops survive, one in the S angle tower and two in the E angle tower. The gateway to the castle (Wth c. 3m) has been broken out, but the remains of a portcullis slot are visible on either side. The entrance way projects 1.8m into the interior and does not survive beyond that. The first-floor of the gatehouse extends over the gateway where there is a broken out ope within a large recess. In the 16th/early 17th century a machicolation was added at parapet level, only the supporting corbels of which survive. Of the gatehouse immediately S of the entrance (int. dims. 8m NE-SW; 4m NW-SE) only the SE and SW walls survive, incorporated into the curtain wall. The ground floor has an attractive arrangement of round-headed arches in the SE wall which alternately contain a recess or a window. The two windows, though blocked, are visible externally above the base-batter. In the SW wall there are two blocked embrasures at ground level. The entrance to the angle tower has been broken out, the ground floor of which is vaulted over. At first-floor level there are two broken out windows in the SE wall and a long narrow loop at the S end of the SW wall. In the S angle of the building there is a round-headed doorway giving access to the S tower and another, broken out, immediately E, giving access to a spiral stair. Externally this spiral stair is carried on a squinch. The second floor of the building was entered from the spiral stair. There is a flat-headed loop in the SW wall which appears to have been blocked up when a large fireplace was inserted, the surrounds of which are broken out. On the inner face of the SW wall the coping stones of a pitched roof are visible, indicating that the second floor was within the roof space. The eaves appear to be resting on a squinch at the NW end. The keep consists of a rectangular building (ext. dims. 18.74m NE-SW; 10.7m NW-SE; wall T 1.95-2.05m) with a stair turret (ext. dims. 3.41m NE-SW; 2.6-2.8m NW-SE) projecting from the NW wall. The stair turret appears to be built up against the existing rectangular keep. On the W side the lower courses of masonry are not keyed in but abut the rectangular block; it does appear to be keyed in above this so it may be a construction technique rather than two phases. The SE wall is missing, however, a short length of the return at the E angle survives with evidence of embrasures at each upper floor level. Only a short length (3.5m) of the SW wall survives at the W angle. Towards the N angle of the keep there is a projecting garderobe with a sloping stone roof, supported on a series of slate-like corbels on either side of the chute. There is a similar garderobe between the E angle tower and the curtain wall and another serving the S angle tower. The garderobe projection on the keep is very similar to that on the W face of Roscrea Castle which Manning (2003, 62) dates to the late 13th century. The keep was modified in the 16th/early 17th century, when mullioned windows and fireplaces were inserted and a gable surmounted by a chimney stack was added onto the W end of the NW wall. A circular bartizan at the W angle, only the lower N side and supporting corbels of which survive, was also added at this period. Externally, at the base of this gable, there are two blocked openings which may be crenels of the original battlements. The building W of the stair turret contains three storeys with an attic, while that on the N side contains four storeys within the same height. In the NE wall, at first-floor level, there is a late 13th/early 14th-century embrasure near the N angle and a very large fireplace, broken out, in the centre of the wall. The N corbel visible in this chamber has a double bowtell with fillet moulding, also indicative an early date. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 09 January 2012

• TS049-002002 House - fortified house
  Description

  On flat, level terrain with very good views to the N and W. The view S and E is dominated by the Slieveardagh hills.

This is a much modified late 13th/early 14th-century keep (ext. dims. 18.74m NE-SW; 10.7m NW-SE; wall T 1.95-2.05m) built of limestone rubble, roughly coursed with rather crude quoins. A stair turret (ext. dims. 3.41m NE-SW; 2.6-2.8m NW-SE) projects from the NW wall of the keep, it appears to be built up against the existing rectangular keep.

The building SW of the stair turret contains three storeys with an attic, while that on the NE side contains four storeys within the same height. The curtain wall of the keep continued to function as a bawn (TS049-002003-) for the fortified house. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 09 January 2013

• TS049-002003 Bawn
  Description

  On flat, level terrain with very good views to the N and W. The view S and E is dominated by the Slieveardagh hills. The castle (TS049-002001-) was built c. 1306 by John Butler, son of Edmond Butler, the first Earl of Carrick. The Civil Survey (1654-6) lists ‘Pierce Lord Viscount Ikeryn Irish Papist’ as the proprietor of ‘Clonomilcon’ in 1640 and ‘Upon this land stands a good castle, a slate house with a large bawne’ (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 128). The bawn for the fortified house(TS049-002002-) is in fact the modified curtain wall (ext. dims. 45.8m NE-SW; 42m NW-SE; wall T 1.5m; max. H 4.4m; base-batter H 1.45m; Wth 0.7m) of a late 13th/early 14th-century Anglo-Norman masonry castle (TS049-002001-). It is constructed of limestone rubble, roughly coursed and has two original three-storey angle towers. The angle towers, one circular (ext. dims. c. 6m NW-SE; c. 5.5m NE-SE) at the S angle, the other D-shaped (int. dims. 2.6m E-W; 3m N-S; wall T 1.3m) at the E angle, were modified in the 16th/early 17th century with the insertion of windows, one with a hood-moulding, and a quatrefoil gun-loop at second-floor level in the E tower. The curtain wall is well preserved along the SE and SW side, though the latter has suffered in recent years due to fire damage. The E end of the NE side survives for 11.2m from the E tower, the remaining length as well as the N angle and the N end of the NW wall are not visible above ground level. The entrance, which is now broken out, is towards the S end of the SE wall. In the 16th/early 17th century a machicolation was added at parapet level, only the supporting corbels of which survive.

• TS049-004 Enclosure
  Description

  On flat elevated pasture in upland area with good views in all directions. Heavily overgrown enclosure which has been used as a dumping site for field clearance debris. Small enclosure consists of a circular area (approx. int. diam. 16m SE-NW; ext diam. 23m SE-NW) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Top Wth 2.5m; base Wth 3m; ext. H 1m; int. H 1m) with modern gap (Wth 6m) in bank at SSE. Modern bungalow in adjoining field to NE of enclosure and boundary of house plot intersects enclosing bank at NE. Impossible to examine or classify monument more specifically due to amount of dumping material inside and around the bank of the monument which obscures all original features.
