Recorded monuments

• TN027-111 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated near the base of the SW slope of a hill, with a river c. 50m to SW at the base of the slope. The site has been levelled but is still visible as a roughly circular area (diam. 19m N-S; 17.8m E-W) defined by a broad bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.83; ext. H 0.35m) and wide outer fosse (Wth 5m). Entrance in SW quadrant (Wth 3.5m). 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

• TN027-113 Moated site
  Description

  Situated on a flat break near the bottom of a NW-facing hillslope with two moated sites (TN027-114, TN027-115) nearby to SSW. A rectangular moated site (dims. 26.7m N-S; 35.6m E-W) defined by a poorly preserved bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.76m; ext. H 1.48m) which has been greatly reduced in places but is visible throughout. The bank is composed of gravelly clay with larger stones protruding. Only a slight suggestion of an external fosse remains at the SW corner (Wth 3m; D 0.22m) with no external fosse visible along the W, N and E sides. The SE quadrant has been truncated by the road - a low bank survives but this is not on line with the E side. Some thorn trees are growing on the bank and there is dense scrub in the NE quadrant. There is a gap (Wth 1.2m) near the NW corner. 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).

• TN027-114 Moated site
  Description

  Situated in wet marshy ground on a level break, on the lower slope of a ridge, with a fast-flowing river, roughly c. 20m to W. There are two other moated sites in the vicinity, one (TN027-115) immediately to the SE and a second (TN027-113) further away to the NNE. A square-shaped area (dims. 31.5m N-S; 31.5m E-W) defined by a much-denuded bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.12m; ext. H 0.6m) reduced to a scarp along E, S and W sides with external fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.12m) waterlogged on the E side. The bank is heavily overgrown with gorse bushes on the S and W sides. The undulating interior is also quite wet and the bank is heavily overgrown with gorse. 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).

• TN027-115 Moated site
  Description

  Situated on a level break in the lower slope of a ridge with higher ground rising above the site. The ground is wet and marshy and there is a fast-flowing river roughly c. 50m W of the site and a spring or stream bubbling c.10m S of SW corner. Two other moated sites are nearby, one (TN027-114) to the NW and a second (TN027-113) further away to the NNE. A roughly square-shaped site (dims. 31.3m N-S) defined by a bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.71m; ext. H 1.46m) and slight outer fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.2m). The banks are completely overgrown with dense gorse making examinaton impossible. The interior is waterlogged and rushy. Portion of the site was 'excavated' in the mid-nineteenth century revealing a large worked horizontal oak beam (dims. 5.5m; 0.5m x 0.42m) 0.6m below the surface of the fosse with four mortices visible. The excavator suggested that this beam may have been part of a wooden causeway or draw-bridge. A groat of Queen Mary was also retrieved from the site (D'Alton 1852-3, 366-7). 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).
