Recorded monuments
- TN019-039001 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a SE-facing slope of rising ground in a mountainous area. A large circular area (diam. 46m N-S; 44m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.9m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 2m) and an external fosse (Wth 1.9m) with a possible entrance gap (Wth 1.5m) at SW. A road intersects the enclosing bank at NE. The low grass-covered wall-footings of a rectangular house site (int. dims. 9m N-S; 5m E-W) are located in the centre of the site. The house site has a sunken interior, is orientated on a N-S axis and is of recent appearance. A smaller ringfort (TN019-039002) is located to the SE, separated by a berm (Wth 8m). 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
- TN019-039002 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a SE-facing slope of rising ground in a mountainous area. This ringfort, separated by a berm (Wth 8m) from a larger ringfort to the SE, (TN019-039001) consists of a circular area (diam. 27.5m N-S; 25.7m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2m) and external fosse (Wth 1.5m) with a possible entrance gap (Wth 1.5m) at NW. A road intersects the fosse at E. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
- TN019-048 Chapel
Description
Situated on a low natural rock outcrop at the N end of a low N-S ridge in a mountain valley, overlooked by higher ground on all sides. The site consists of a section of a drystone field wall (H 1.1m; T 0.5m; L 22m) extending N-S across the top of a low ridge which according to local knowledge is the site of a penal chapel. This appears to be the remains of an old field boundary with no evidence of any cut stone or building material for a building. In the Archbishop's Visitation of Ballina in 1752 it is recorded that there was a chapel in the mountain which local people believe to have been located at this site (Griffin and Griffin 2000, 62). 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).
