Recorded monuments

• TS054-050 Historic town
  Description

  Present town of Killenaule built on site of medieval town on high ground overlooking stream to E and motte and bailey (TS054-050003-) 173m to NE. The main street runs N-S through the centre of Killenaule with houses on the E and W sides of the main street. The rear boundary plots all share a common boundary indicating that these may be the original burgage plots of the medieval settlement. Killenaule is derived from the Irish Cill Náile meaning church of St. Náile. In c. 1359 the Reeve and community of Killenaule were fined 20d for the assize of bread and ale (Calender Ormond Deeds, 1350-1413, 38). In 1417 Thomas Butler, Prior of Kilmainham granted Killenaule to his son Edmund fitz Thomas Butler (ibid, 1413-1509, 16-17). The Reeve and community of Kilsheelan were summoned to the Seneschal's Court in Clonmel in 1432 (ibid., 95). Killenaule castle was held in 1441 by the first Lord of Knight, Stanon and the following year Walter de Burgo was held in the Earl of Ormond's prison "in the Castle of the town of Killenayl" (Hassett 1990, 26-7). In 1534 Richard Cantwell granted all his messuages and lands in Killenaule to Piers, Earl of Ossory and four years later Henry VIII granted Piers and James Butler the town of Killenaule, among others, in consideration of their faithful service during the Geraldine Rebellion (op. cit., 1509-1547, 64, 178). In 1540 an indenture between Margaret, Countess dowager of Ormond and her son James Butler granted Margaret, among others, the castle, town and manor of Killenaule (ibid. 194). In 1542 James Archer granted to Thomas Marres and Edmund Purcell 'his whole inheritence in the town of Killenaule' and two years later Meiler Cantwell granted Thomas Marres, all his messuages, land etc., in Killenaule and in the burgage of the same (ibid. 221).

• TS054-050001 Church
  Description

  On the S side of River Street, the church is at the highest point of a gentle rise, with the graveyard (TS054-050002-) occupying the slope of the hill to the E and S of the church. A motte and bailey (TS054-050003-) is 173m to the NE. The present church is a 19th-century structure built on the site of an earlier 18th-century church. It was a RC foundation until 1762 and thereafter used for Protestant worship. There was clearly a much earlier church on the site as is suggested by an illustration on the Down Survey map of 1655-8. This is borne out by five medieval architectural fragments including a mullion, two other window fragments and two possible door jambs which were found in the graveyard.

• TS054-050002 Graveyard
  Description

  On the S side of River Street. The church (TS054-050001-) is at the highest point of a gentle rise with the graveyard occupying the slope of the hill to the E and S of the church and motte and bailey (TS054-050003-) 173m to the NE. The present church is a 19th-century structure built on the site of an earlier 18th-century church. There was clearly a much earlier church on the site as is suggested by an illustration on the Down Survey map of 1655-8. The church was built in the centre of a square-shaped graveyard (int. dims. 46m N-S; 48m E-W) containing 18th and 19th-century memorials. Five medieval architectural fragments, all limestone, including a mullion, two other window fragments and two possible door jambs were found in the graveyard. Each of the fragments has been reused as a grave-marker. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS054-060 Moated site
  Description

  In grassland on a SW-facing slope of rising ground in upland area with good views in all directions. Only the SE section of an overgrown scarp (H 0.3m) covered in thorn bushes and nettles survives of this possible moated site along with the E bank (top Wth 1m; base Wth 3m; ext. H 0.5m; int. H 0.5m) which now acts as a field boundary, elsewhere the monument has been levelled and is not visible at ground level. Depicted as a rectangular enclosure (dims. 48m N-S; 44m E-W) on first (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map with E side of enclosure incorporated in a field boundary.
