• TN047-038 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Situated on a gradual SE slope in gently undulating terrain, in pasture. A poorly preserved irregular-shaped area (diam. 40.7m NE-SW) defined by a low bank which takes the form of a stone wall at NE with inner and outer stone-facing and rubble and clay core (Wth 1.55m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m). A neighbouring landowner remembers when the site was more intact with a stone wall forming the enclosing element. The NW quadrant has been destroyed and a rubble stone wall erected, slightly transecting this sector. There is a gap in the E sector (Wth c. 3.2m). 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

• TN047-059 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a natural rise sloping to the NE, in undulating pasture. Depicted as an irregular outline with internal tree plantation on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map and as an irregular enclosure on the current (1953-4) ed. The relatively flat summit of this natural rise (diam. 33m N-S; 34m E-W) provides a good ringfort location, but there is no visible trace of the site above ground. 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

• TN047-060001 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Located on the NE edge of a flat-topped rise of outcrop, in pastureland. An L-plan house which incorporates the N and E walls of an enclosing bawn (TN047-060002), both constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble. The house itself is poorly preserved with only the lower portion of the S gable intact, however small portions of walling, wall collapse and foundations give a clear outline of the building (ext. dims. N-S portion of house c. 17.8m N-S, 7.8m E-W; E-W portion of house c. 18m E-W, 7.9m N-S; wall T 0.9m). There is a mural passage at first-floor level in the S gable leading to a garderobe chute in the SE angle. The S wall of the bawn (H c. 6m; T 1m) is best preserved with an entrance (Wth 1.6m) roughly centrally placed - this was subsequently blocked-up. A hammer-dressed corbel projects out of the W end of the external face of the S wall of the bawn. There may have been a corresponding corbel on the E side of the entrance but the masonry has collapsed out. Only a short length of the W wall stands upright, the remainder of the bawn is defined by collapsed masonry. 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).

• TN047-060002 Bawn
  Description

  Located on the NE edge of a flat-topped rise of outcrop, in pastureland. An L-plan house (TN047-060001) which incorporates the N and E walls of an enclosing bawn (28m N-S x 23m E-W), both constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble. The house itself is poorly preserved with only the lower portion of the S gable intact, however small portions of walling, wall collapse and foundations give a clear outline of the building (ext. dims. N-S portion of house c. 17.8m N-S, 7.8m E-W; E-W portion of house c. 18m E-W, 7.9m N-S; wall T 0.9m).

• TN047-061 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in a slight hollow in an undulating field with successive rises and troughs, in pasture. A circular area (diam. 41m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.42m; ext. H 0.86m) and shallow fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.5m) visible at N and E. The external base of the bank is obscured by field clearance debris. There are two breaks in the bank in the W sector, one providing narrow cattle access to the site, the other is wider but is obscured by stones which have been dumped in this area. 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).

• TN047-062 Souterrain
  Description

  Situated at the edge of a tilled field on a NE-facing slope in the path of a former trackway which lead to a house (now abandoned). A large limestone slab (dims. 2m x 1m; T 0.4m) lies prostrate in this fallow area with other smaller limestone boulders scattered in the vicinity. There is no other trace of the site, the entrance to which, according to a local source, was blocked up some years ago. The souterrain (H 1.5-1.8m; Wth 8.7-10.2m) was investigated in 1932 and is described as being aligned N-S (L 7.2m), curving E at the N end (L 2.5m) with the S and W wall formed of natural limestone quarrying while the other walls are constructed from a combination of quarried wall-face and drystone-walling (OPW Files, 26th June 1932).

• TN047-063 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Situated on fairly level ground with a slight slope to the SW, in pasture. A circular area (diam. 27m N-S; 31.5m E-W) enclosed by a collapsed stone wall (Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.42m; ext. H 0.51m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 4.4m) and a slight counterscarp which has been augmented in places by a field bank. 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).

• TN047-064 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a NE-facing slope in undulating pastureland; the site encloses a natural hillock. A roughly circular area (diam. 70.5m N-S; 64m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.8m), a fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 1m) and an outer bank (Wth 3.6m; ext. H 1.2m). The natural hillock is enclosed in the S half of the site while the N half is level. A gap in the bank at SW (Wth 10m) provides access for farm machinery. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
