• TS060-097 Settlement cluster
  Description

  In the medieval period Golden was an important crossing point on the River Suir and as such became a strategic location to control. It is likely that the medieval settlement at Golden occupied much the same area as the present village. The present 15th/16th bridge (TS060-097002-), which was defended by a tower house (TS060-097001-), probably replaced an earlier bridge. A 13th/14th-century building (TS060-097014-) was uncovered during archaeological excavations on the E bank of the river, on the S side of the town, c. 100m E of the tower house (Moran 2006, 466-7; 2007, 410). Archaeological excavations have also revealed 13th/14th-century occupation on the SW edge of the fair green where the old school house was located (Moran 2008, 352). There is no trace above ground of the medieval church of Relickmurry (TS060-097004-) which appears to have been located on the N side of the village, in the C of I graveyard (TS060-097009-), though some medieval architectural fragments have been found in the graveyard (Farrelly and FitzPatrick 1993, 107-8). The 17th-century Down Survey map (1655-6) depicts a castle and three houses at Golden. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) ‘James Earle of Ormond’ was proprietor of ‘Goulden’ and ‘Upon this lands stands a castle w[i]th a bridge uppon a pass betwixt the same and Religmurry with some thatcht houses Inhabitted’ (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 7). A 17th-century building (TS060-097012-) was also uncovered at the E end of the bridge, S of the road (Moran 2000, 194). Underlying this building was evidence of ironworking which, based on associated pottery, appeared to be pre-13th century in date (Moran 2000, 194).

• TS060-097007 House - 17th century
  Description

  On the SE side of Golden Bridge. According to White (1892, 53), the house adjoining Golden bridge at its SE end was both a club house and a dwelling, possibly dating from the 17th century but certainly no later than the opening years of the 18th century. This is testified by a stone (now lost) inscribed with the date 1705 and the initials F.M.C. which was formerly displayed in the facade of the building. The initials are thought to be those of Florence McCarthy who managed the club for Lord ClanWilliam. When the premises ceased to be a club is not known. It was the private residence of Captain Ryan at one time and c. 1837 members of the 69th Regiment were quartered there. During archaeological excavations in this area in 1997 a building of late 17th/early 18th century date was uncovered (Moran 1998, 162). This may be the club house described by White. Excavations in 1998 established that the remains of the 'clubhouse' survived in fairly good condition, buried below flood silts and deliberate infill on the edge of the flood-plain (Moran 2000, 194). A further excavation in 2001 (Moran 2003, 383) revealed the plan of the clubhouse, a rectangular mortared stone building alongside the street with a slipway to the rear, sloping down to the river. Outbuildings and cobbled yards were found further back. The clubhouse had several wooden-floored rooms and at least one fireplace built into the rear wall (and apparently none in the gables). An extension towards the river reused the site of an earlier building with clay-bonded stone walls. Pottery dating from the 17th and 18th centuries was found associated with these buildings.

• TS060-097011 Metalworking site
  Description

  Excavation at the S side of the W end of the main street, immediately before the bridge, revealed two furnaces filled with charcoal and slag close to the street frontage (Moran 2000, 194). The charcoal spread contained several hearth bottoms and a quantity of iron waste (ibid.). The ironworking may pre-date the bridge (ibid.). It may be associated with the tower-house on the island in the river, but pottery recovered overlying the hearths (three sherds) is of 13th-century date (ibid.). Further excavations in 2001 revealed hearths and paved and metalled surfaces associated with a late medieval workshop or smithy (Moran 2003, 383) which may be related to the ironworking site.

• TS060-097012 Building
  Description

  Excavations in 2001 revealed the plan of the 'clubhouse' (TS060-097007-), a late 17th/early 18th-century house. However, it also revealed that an extension to the rear of the house reused the site of an earlier building with clay-bonded stone walls. Pottery dating from the 17th and 18th centuries was found associated with this building. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 February 2013

• TS060-097014 Building
  Description

  On the E bank of the River Suir, where there is an island in the middle of the river, at the W end of the village of Golden. Barry (1977, 147) suggested that there was an earlier 12th-14th century stone castle at the location of the tower house (TS060-097001-) on the island. However, archaeological excavations in 2003 and 2004 revealed the corner of a substantial 13th/14th building 100m to the E of the tower house, immediately S of the bridge (Moran 2006, 466-7; 2007, 410). This buildings strategic location and the thickness of its mortared walls suggest that this may be an early castle (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 14 July 2014
