Recorded monuments

• TS087-005 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Just off the summit of a hill, on ground sloping to the SW, in undulating pastureland. A ringfort (diam. c. 28m N-S; c. 25m E-W) heavily overgrown with scrub and brambles. The interior and edge of the monument are not accessible, except the SW quadrant. Where visible the ringfort is delimited by scarp (H 1.2m) and an outer fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.25m). A NE-SW field boundary runs along the NW quadrant. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 19 November 2013

• TS087-006001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  On slight natural rise, on ground sloping to the SW towards the River Tar, in undulating terrain. Field reclaimed, now lush meadow. No visible trace of castle above ground. In the Civil Survey (1654-6) the castle is described as 'a stump' (Simington 1931, vol.1, 366). It is depicted on 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as a rectangular building 'in ruins' and by the 2nd (1907) ed. only one wall is shown standing. The lower courses of the castle were levelled in the 1950s (Cleary 1987, 116). A magnetometer survey was carried out in area around the castle in 1981 revealed a D-shaped enclosure (TS087-006005-) around the castle though no finds were recovered from the fosse to provide a definite date for its use (Cleary 1987, 117, 125-6).

• TS087-006002 House - 17th century
  Description

  On ground sloping to SW towards the River Tar. Field reclaimed, now lush meadow. Area adjacent to castle (TS87-006001-) was excavated prior to construction of Cork-Dublin pipeline in 1981 (Cleary 1987, 116-127). This excavation uncovered a mid-17th-century house, c. 60m N of the castle. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'noe cabbins or other improvements' were present in Drumlummin (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 366), however the Hearth Tax money records for 1665 record four houses in this townland, only one of which had two hearths. The excavated house has two hearths and this evidence, together with the datable finds, suggest that this may be the house referred to in the Hearth Tax records, built between 1654 and 1665 and belonging to William Sheppard. Foundation trenches revealed a T-plan house with three rooms on a N-S axis (dims. 14m x 5.5m) and two rooms W of these (dims. 13.3m x 6m). Walls, constructed of limestone and sandstone rubble, survived three-four courses high (H 0.2-0.4m). According to the excavator the superstructure would have been in both wood and stone (1981, 119). An external rectangular paved area (dims. 4.1m x 2.7m) probably defines the main entrance immediately E of the central E room of the house. This room has the remains of a back-to-back fireplace on S wall, the second fireplace served to room immediately to S which is the only room with remains of a timber floor. The two W rooms are also divided by a double fireplace, the hearth in the most westerly room also has a circular wall oven. The foundation trench is missing along S wall of this room and it is possible that it has its own access to exterior. The only room without a fireplace, most northerly of the 'T', has no obvious internal or external entrance. Rooms without evidence of timber flooring may have had stone flags which were removed when the house fell into disuse. The clay in these rooms was not compacted enough to suggest that they had clay floors. Though no windows survive, strips of lead, including one with a fragment of yellow tinted glass, suggest that leaded glass windows were in use. No slates were found though it is probable that the house had a thatched roof. Finds included earthenware pottery of mid-17th century date, a money token dated to 1650-1660s and clay pipes falling into an early to mid-17th century date range. The house is not visible above ground. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS087-006003 Field system
  Description

  During excavations preceeding the construction of the Cork-Dublin gas pipeline a field system and cultivation ridges were uncovered (Cleary 1981, 116-127). Field boundaries excavated probably represent divisions of plots. A clear ridge and furrow system was revealed and an earlier E-W system was cut by a later N-S system, possibly representing a change in plot allocation (ibid. 126-7). These plot divisions were shallow ditches (max. D 0.5m) with low earthen banks (H c. 0.5m) (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 19 November 2013

• TS087-006004 Enclosure
  Description

  On a SW-facing slope in terrain sloping towards the River Tar, in reclaimed field of lush meadow. Monument, not visible at time of inspection, was noted on field survey prior to construction of Cork-Dublin gas pipeline in 1981 (Cleary 1987, 116). Roughly circular enclosure (diam. 35-45m) defined by a low, curving earthen bank (H 0.2-0.4m), not visible in W quadrant (ibid.). A magnetometer survey showed an external fosse (ibid.). Enclosure located c. 55m W of a castle (TS087-006001-) and c. 40m SW of a mid-17th-century house (TS087-006002-). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 19 November 2013

• TS087-006005 Enclosure
  Description

  On a slight natural rise, on ground sloping to the SW towards the River Tar, in undulating terrain. Field reclaimed, now lush meadow. A magnetometer survey was carried out in area around the castle (TS087-006001-) in 1981 prior to construction of Cork-Dublin gas pipeline (Cleary 1987, 116). This survey revealed a deep U-shaped ditch (Wth 2-4m; D 1.5-1.9m) c. 40m N of the castle and c. 20m to E and W, it appears to have formed a D-shaped enclosure around the castle (TS087-006001-) (ibid. 125-6). It was recorded by magnetometer survey for a length of 47m on E side and 50m on W side of the castle (ibid.). No finds were recovered from the ditch to provide a definite date for its use (Cleary 1987, 117, 125-6). The enclosure is not visible above ground level.
