Recorded monuments

• TN033-003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise at the base of the SE-facing slope of a ridge, in pasture, overlooking a valley. A circular area, containing large limestone outcrop towards the centre of the SE quadrant, enclosed by a bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.43m; ext. H 2.07m), a broad, dry, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 5.8m; D 1m) and a stony outer bank (Wth 2.6m; ext. H 0.67m). A trackway cuts through the S half of the interior, in an E-W direction. The presence of outcrop near the centre of the site challanges its interpretation as a ringfort. 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).

• TN033-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a break in a gentle SE-facing slope at the base of a hill. A circular area (diam. 34.7m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by a low bank of gravelly clay (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.75m) and an external fosse (Wth 2.6m; D 0.67m). The bank is quite eroded in places and is reduced to a scarp, particularly at E where the site is foreshortened by c. 1m by a post and wire fence. No obvious entrance feature visible.The fosse along the W side has been recently recut for drainage and a shed and silage pit have been built immediately E of the ringfort.

• TN033-005001 Church
  Description

  Situated in pasture at the E end of an E-W ridge, just off the crest towards the S slope. The ground slopes steeply immediately S of the church towards the Nenagh River which is at the base of the slope. Listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302 (CDI, vol. 5, 302). A rectangular church (dims. 5.75m N-S; 11.7m E-W; wall T 0.9m) built with limestone rubble which has largely collapsed, that on the N side being the most substantial (int. H 0.95m; ext. H 0.33m). The entrance (Wth 3.3m) is roughly in the centre of the W wall. A lintelled, rectangular stone chamber (dims. 1.8m x 0.9m) has been built up against the internal face of the E wall - this may be a vault for a priest who was buried in the NE end of the church (OS Name Books c. 1840). There is a possible porch at the W end of the church, though only a portion of the S wall survives (L 5.4m). On the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map the church is surrounded by a trapezoidal enclosure entitled 'Burial Ground' (TN033-005003). While no burials are apparent outside the church there are traces of a boundary wall extending N-S immediately W of the church and to the NE. Some of the stones within the church itself may be burial markers as the OS Name Books (1840) note that 'children were still being buried within the walls of the church' (TN033-005002).
