• TS036-049 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Around 1300 Inchirourke was owned by John de Fresingfeld and in 1312 Edmond Butler secured the Manor of Inchirourke from de Fresingfeld (McCormack 1989, 31). The 17th century Civil Survey (Simington vol. 1, 1931; vol. 2, 1934) contains no mention of a castle in Inchirourke suggesting that it was in ruins by that time. It is situated on top of a low rise of ground in undulating pasture, with extensive bogland to N and W of castle and good views in all directions. Only a portion of the ground floor survives to a maximum height of 3m, consisting of short sections of N (Wall T 0.95m) and S wall (Wall T 1.60m; L 7.7m with wall-footings running E for a further 1.5m) of the ground-floor chamber (Wth 2.90m N-S; 9.2m E-W) with a barrel vault (H 2.7m) over the ground floor. It is constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble with good evidence of wicker-centring on the underside of vault. There were possibly two barrel-vaulted ground-floor chambers running E-W, of which only the S chamber survives, with remains of the N vaulted chamber visible as a springer (L 3.9m) from the N face of the dividing wall of castle. A large gap in the centre of the S wall may be the remains of a broken out window or doorway. There is a chamfered limestone window or door jamb lying within the castle. The original external S wall was constructed in two phases, which is now visible in the exposed W face of the S wall. The physical remains are insufficent to identify whether this was an early medieval castle or a late medieval tower house. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS036-050 Road - class 1 togher
  Description

  In Baunmore bog, undergoing milling. This togher consists of a single plank trackway oriented NE–SW and traced for a length of 690m across the SE extent of Baunmore Bog. The togher, sighted forty-six times, is composed of longitudinal (L 0.52- 4.2m; Wth 0.13-0.8m; T 0.02-0.3m) and transverse planks (L 0.6-2.12m; Wth 0.1-0.25m; T 0.04m) and roundwoods (L 0.3-2.25m; diam. 0.05-0.35m) which rested on a substructure of roundwood and associated brushwood elements. A total of 42 pegs (diam. 0.02-0.14m) were noted associated with the togher. The peat was moderate to well-humified with inclusions of sphagnum, calluna and eriophorum. The togher continues across the county boundary into Islands townland in Co. Kilkenny (KK012-081----). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 12 November 2012

  Description

• TS036-058 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  In Baunmore bog, this togher, which occurred 0 to 0.3m below the field surface, consisted of longitudinal roundwood (average diam. 0.12m) on a substructure of light brushwood (average diam. 0.02m). The upper elements were orientated NE–SW and were associated with badly disturbed elements exposed on the field surface 5m to the NW. The elements were in a moderate state of preservation in the drain face but in a poor condition on the field surface. The peat in which the togher was recorded was a moderately humified sphagnum peat with moderate amounts of eriophorum.
