Description
In the lowlying river valley of the River Suir, c. 400m S of Marlfield village which is two miles W of Clonmel. Cistercian Abbey, founded as a daughter house of Mellifont in 1148, the affiliation was transferred to Monasteranenagh three years later (Stalley 1987, 246). Malachy O'Phelan, Prince of the Decies and Donal Mor O'Brien, king of Limerick, re-endowed the monastery in 1187 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 135; Stalley 1987, 246). The monastery had daughter houses in Fermoy, Cork; Corcomroe, Clare and Glanawydan, Waterford (Stalley 1987, 246). In 1467 the buildings were in need of repair (ibid.). In 1540 the monastery was dissolved and early the following year 'the jurors reported that the church could be demolished, other buildings being necessary for the farmer, Thomas Butler' (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 136). Despite this the walls were standing in the mid-17th century 'Uppon the sd colpe ['Abyneslewnaght'] stands the walls of an old Aby' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 307) and in 1746 the church was described as 'in ruins' (Smith 1746, 48). Though the abbey no longer survives, fragments (TS083-017001-; TS083-017002-; TS083-017003-) are incorportated in the 19th-century C of I church which was built on the site of the monastery (Shee and Watson 1975, 56). A medieval graveslab (TS083-017004-) is embedded in the floor at the threshold of the inner W door. Carpet has been laid in the centre aisle which could not be lifted, there may be more fragments beneath this. There are early graveslabs (TS083-017005-; TS083-017006-) in the associated graveyard. There are no earthworks visible at ground level S of the church and the field to the N is tilled. However, a lidar survey (Steve Davis, UCD, 2006-10) detected earthworks S of the graveyard which probably relate to the abbey complex. This lidar survey also detected rectangular plots running N of the graveyard which appear to form part of a pre-1700 settlement cluster (TS083-017009-).

- TS083-017004 Graveslab
Description
Though the Cistercian abbey (TS083-017----) no longer survives a medieval graveslab has been incorporated in the 19th-century C of I church which was built on or near the site of the monastery. This 13th-/14th-century graveslab is embedded in the floor at the threshold of the inner W door. It survives in two pieces, the lower portion being upside down. The upper portion of the slab (L 0.73m; Wth 0.69m), at the N end of the doorway, is decorated with an incised four-armed cross with trefoil terminals. The lower portion of the slab (L 0.53m; Wth 0.6m) has an incised cross-shaft which rests on a stepped base. There is a latin inscription, in Lombardic script, along the sinister side which reads: HIC IACET MA...I(G?) . AICIET':DS:. (Maher 1997, 66).

Description
Incorporated in the graveyard wall S of the church which is built on the site of the former Cistercian abbey (TS083-017----) is a 16th- /early 17th-century tapering graveslab (L 1.9m; Wth at the top 0.49m; Wth at base 0.4m at the base; though it is 0.57m at its widest point). The slab is decorated, in relief, with a seven-armed segmental-headed cross with fleur-de-lis terminals. There is a three-barred knop at the base of the cross-head. The cross-shaft rests on a stepped base. There is a latin inscription, in Black Letter script, on the sinister side of the slab which begins beneath the cross-head. The HIC is in relief but the rest is incised. The inscription is quite worn, it has been transcribed and translated by Maher (1997, 66-67) as: HIC IACET PIUS V(I)(R) D(U?)S L/IBA..ER.... (Here lies Pius, noble husband?). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 24 January 2012

A sandstone slab (L 1.03m above ground; Wth 0.51m; T 0.16m) which has been embedded in the ground upside down and reused as a headstone. The sinister edge is missing. It is decorated with a deeply incised cross-shaft and quite a crudely incised cross-base, triangular in form, which ends c. 0.17m from the broken base of the slab. There is no evidence of an inscription. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 24 January 2012
- TS083-017008 Graveyard
Description
In the lowlying river valley of the River Suir, c. 400m S of Marlfield village which is two miles W of Clonmel. Associated with Inishlounaght Cistercian Abbey (TS083-017----), this roughly rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 150m NE-SW; c. 45m NW-SE) is situated at the eastern end of an avenue (L c. 90m) and surrounds the present C of I church. Three early graveslabs (TS083-017005-; TS083-017006-; TS083-017010-), portion of an effigial tomb (TS083-017012-) and a panel from a chest tomb (TS083-017011-) have been identified in the graveyard. A number of features (TS083-017001-; TS083-017002-; TS083-017003-) from the Cistercian Abbey and a medieval graveslab (TS083-017004-) are located within the C of I church.

- TS083-017009 Settlement cluster
Description
In flat terrain in the lowlying river valley of the River Suir, on the S side of the modern village of Marlfield between the main E-W road and the C of I church and graveyard. A lidar survey (Steve Davis, UCD, 2006-10) in the vicinity of the C of I church and graveyard at Marlfield revealed a series of rectangular plots (total L N-S c. 300m; each plot L c. 100m E-W; Wth 30-35m), E of the N-S road to the church and N of the church avenue. There are a further 4 plots (L c. 170m N-S; Wth 30-35m), running N of the graveyard boundary. On the 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map a row of houses is depicted running N-S, on the E of the N-S road to the church for 110m near the junction between this road and the main E-W road through Marlfield village.

- TS083-017010 Graveslab
Description
In the graveyard E of the C of I church on or near the site of the former Cistercian abbey (TS083-017----). A sandstone slab (H 0.37m above ground; Wth 0.45m; T 0.12m) which has been embedded in the ground and reused as a grave-marker. The top dexter angle is missing. It is decorated with a double-lined incised cross pattee with convex expanded terminals and hollowed angles. Only the upper three arms of the cross head are visible above ground. Stylistically this dates to the 13th/14th century. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 September 2017
- TS083-017011 Tomb - chest tomb
Description
Towards the E end of the graveyard of the C of I church, which is on or near the site of the former Cistercian abbey (TS083-017----). A portion of a 16th-century limestone chest-tomb slab (H 0.48m above ground; Wth 0.63m; T 0.1m) which has been embedded in the ground and reused as a grave-marker. The panel consists of at least three figures, each within an individual ogee-headed niche, terminating at the N end. The S end is broken and only a small portion of the N of the niche survives. The sinister arch is surmounted by a fleur-de-lis finial with foliate spandrels, the middle arch is surmounted by a vine-leaf finial with foliate spandrels and only the foliate decoration of the S spandrel of the S arch survives. The figure in this dexter niche was carrying a cross-staff, only the cross head of which survives. This may be St Thaddeus who is frequently represented carrying a cross-staff. The central figure, that of St Peter, carries a large key in his right hand and a book in his left. The sinister figure is probably St Thomas, as he appears to be holding a spear in his right hand and a book in his left. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 September 2017
- TS083-017012 Tomb - effigial
Description
Towards the E end of the graveyard of the C of I church, which is on or near the site of the former Cistercian abbey (TS083-017----). Only the upper end, carved in high relief with the image of a head, of this sandstone effigial tomb survives (L 0.26m; total H 0.36m; H of base 0.26m; Wth 0.39m at the top, tapering to 0.37m at the base). The upper surface of the slab is edged with a roll-moulding (Wth 0.04m). The head is very worn and may have been deliberately defaced in past. It appears to be a lady, wearing a gorget under the chin and possibly a nebuly head-dress, where the hair is held in place by a crespine of fabric or fine wire. The hair appears to be gathered at the top of the head and flows down over, and to the base of, the roll-moulding. The head is reminiscent of an effigy (KK022-055----) from Ballykeefe, Co. Kilkenny which has been dated by Hunt (1974, vol. 1, 165) to c. 1340-1360. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 September 2017
- TS083-018 Weir - fish
Description
According to the Civil Survey 1652-54 'There are three weares on the River of Sewer betweene the lands of Abyneslewnaght aforesd and the lands of Gryenane and Kilnamacke aforementioned in ye Bary. of Glaunyhiry in the County of Waterford' which had been the property in 1640 of the Cistercian monastery of Inislounaght (TS083-017----) and owned by Patrick Goegh of Kilmanahan (see WA001-15----) (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 307). Situated in the River Suir, c. 200m SE of former monastery, the surviving remains consist of a stone-built weir constructed of dry-stone walling: a portion protrudes above water level. It is depicted on the 1st (1840-41) ed. OS 6-inch map where a little island marks the location where the stones are visible. This weir probably extended across the river to the boundaries of Greenan and Kilmacomma, Co. Waterford (WA001-047----) and may be one of the three weirs mentioned in the Civil Survey.

- TS083-037 Graveslab
Description
Inserted in the base of a wall, on the N-facing side, c. 365m NW of the C of I church of Marlfield where there are a number of medieval graveslabs associated with the Cistercian monastery (TS083-017----). A sandstone conglomerate with small quartz pebbles (max. H 0.25m; L 0.53m) identified by Neil Jackman. A fragment of a larger carving, it appears to be lying on its side. The decoration consists of three raised, slightly curving, bands (max. L 0.47m; Wth 0.03-0.04m), c. 0.02m apart, with six raised bands (average Wth 0.03m; c. 0.02-0.03m apart) running diagonally from the uppermost of the three bands. The decoration is similar to that found on slabs of Rathdown type (pers. comm. Neil Jackman 27 May 2018), found in SE Co. Dublin and neighbouring parts of Co. Wicklow. These slabs have been associated with the Vikings and date to c. 10th century (ÓhÉailidhe 1973, 51-64). The decoration is particularly reminiscent of two slabs from Rathmichael (DU026-050016-; DU026-050017-) Co. Dublin.

Situated in the River Suir, c. 200m SE of former monastery, the surviving remains consist of a stone-built weir constructed of dry-stone walling: a portion protrudes above water level. It is depicted on the 1st (1840-41) ed. OS 6-inch map where a little island marks the location where the stones are visible. This weir probably extended across the river to the boundaries of Greenan and Kilmacomma, Co. Waterford (WA001-047----) and may be one of the three weirs mentioned in the Civil Survey.
