- TN036-019 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on the W-facing slope of a low N-S ridge in undulating countryside. A raised circular area (diam. 31m E-W) enclosed by a well-preserved tree-lined earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5-2m) with a limekiln built into the E face of the bank. No entrance feature visible. A possible ringfort reused as a tree-ring possibly in the nineteenth century when the limekiln was inserted. 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
- TN036-020 Enclosure
Description
Situated at the S end of a glacial ridge in undulating countryside with nearby Moyne stream to the S. The site consists of a large circular area (approx. diam. 155m N-S) defined by a field bank of modern appearance from N through E to S, elsewhere there are no visible remains of the bank at ground level (O'Brien 2000, 188). Excavation of part of the interior (dims. 6m N-S x 5m E-W) was undertaken by Paul Stevens in 1998. Excavation revealed evidence of ironworking in the form of a cluster of oval burnt pits and post-holes, rich in ironworking waste, with one containing a broken furnace bowl. The charcoal was radiocarbon dated to AD 450-690. A series of possible slot trenches cut across the ironworking features therefore post-dating the ironworking; these possibly represent internal partitions within the large enclosure. The excavator identified this site as a monastic enclosure associated with St Odran founded before AD 563 or 548 (Stevens 2000, 200). However, according to the early sources Odran founded a monastery at Littir-Odhrain, identified as Latteragh, Co. Tipperary (TN028-025002), where he became abbot (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 40).

Description
Situated at the base of the N-facing slope of a small esker in undulating countryside. A fulacht fia discovered during soil stripping, no visible trace prior to excavation. The site consists of a ploughed-out horseshoe-shaped mound (L 8m; Wth 7m; D 0.3m) of burnt material orientated E-W with a square-shaped trough (L 1.5m; Wth 1.5m; D 0.3m) which had been backfilled with fire-cracked stone and charcoal-rich soil. A small chert thumbnail scraper was recovered from the mound material. (Stevens 1998, 171-2) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
- TN036-050002 Burnt pit
Description
Situated on a W-facing slope in undulating countryside. Discovered during soil stripping for plant site access road. The site consists of a steep straight-sided fire-reddened pit (dims. L 2m; Wth 1.1m; D 0.28m) which indicated in situ burning. The pit contained alternating layers of silt and charcoal with a primary fill of burnt lining. The charcoal was dated to AD 980-1270.

- TN036-050003 Pit-burial
Description
Situated on the brow of a glacial ridge in undulating countryside. Excavation in 1997 revealed a cluster of post-pits and small pits within an area measuring 7m long by 5.8m wide. Within this cluster an oval pit (0.6m x 0.5m x 0.2m D) containing charcoal lumps and silty clay with tiny burnt bone fragments and a v-shaped pit with an upturned crushed pot containing tiny fragments of crushed cremated bone were identified (Stevens 1998, Killoran 4, 173).

- TN036-050004 Fulacht fia
Description
Situated on the W-facing slope of a low rise of ground in undulating countryside. Fulacht fia discovered during topsoil stripping, no surface trace visible prior to excavation. Site consisted of a truncated horsehoe-shaped mound (L 8m-10m; Wth 7.8m; D 0.11m) of burnt material orientated N-S with a sub-oval trough (L 1.53m; Wth 1.14m; D 0.24m) which had been backfilled with fire-cracked stone and charcoal-rich soil. A fragment of animal tooth was recovered from the trough area. An area of in situ burning or a hearth (L 2.8m x Wth 1.17m) was uncovered 4m S of the mound (Stevens 1998, Killoran 5, 172). Charcoal from the trough was radiocarbon dated to 1750-1410 BC (Stevens 1999, 139). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
- TN036-050005 Pit-burial
Description
Situated on a raised plateau overlooking lowlands to the E with bit burials (TN036-050003 and 006) 65m and 95m to the N respectively. The site was revealed during topsoil stripping and consisted of two small pits cut into the subsoil. One circular pit (diam. 0.51m; D 0.35m) with a U-shaped profile contained a token cremation deposit of tiny crushed burnt bone fragments and charcoal which was radiocarbon dated to 1145-900 BC (Stevens 1999, 140). The second pit appeared to be an associated post-hole suggesting that the post was marking a burial plot (Stevens 1998, Killoran 6, 172). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.

- TN036-050007 House - prehistoric
Description
Situated on a low ridge of ground in Derryville Bog. A number of house sites were discovered during monitoring of topsoil removal. Excavation revealed three round houses (A, B and C) with a possible fourth structure (D) to the S and a possible fifth earlier structure (E) which was disturbed by the wall-slots of houses A and B. Houses A, B and C appear to be contemporary and stood side by side. Finds from the site included coarse pottery of Bronze Age appearance, a fragment of a saddle quern, burnt daub, rubbing stones, hammerstones, a possible whetstone, some struck chert and flint. House A (diam. 9m) was defined by a circular wall-slot containing occasional stake-holes possibly of wattle-built walls with a doorway facing SE. Inside the wall-slot there was evidence for internal roof supports in the form of a circular setting of 6 post-holes. House B was located immediately N of house A and consisted of a subcircular area (diam. C.8m) defined by a wall-slot with an internal ring of stake-holes for internal roof supports and main doorway facing SE. House C was located to the NE of house A and was only partially visible due to possible disturbance by a modern field boundary and tree-line. A number of post-holes and the W portion of the enclosing wall-slot along with the doorway at SE were the only features visible. Structure D was located 9m S of house A and consisted of an interrupted gully, a possible doorway and two post-holes inside the doorway. The excavator was unable to conclusively identify the function or extent of this structure. Structure E was a possible post-built structure which was cut by the W side of house A nd the E side of house B. A large number of other subsidary features which predated houses A and B were identified and formed a possible subrectangular pattern. The excavator was uncertain of the true nature of this structure. (Ó Néill 1998, Killoran 8, 173-4) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

- TN036-050011 Structure
Description
Situated on a low ridge of ground in Derryville Bog. A number of house sites were discovered during monitoring of topsoil removal. Excavation revealed three round houses (A, B and C) with a possible fourth structure (D) to the S and a possible fifth earlier structure (E) which was disturbed by the wall-slots of houses A and B. Houses A, B and C appear to be contemporary and stood side by side. Finds from the site included coarse pottery of Bronze Age appearance, a fragment of a saddle quern, burnt daub, rubbing stones, hammerstones, a possible whetstone, some struck chert and flint. House A (diam. 9m) was defined by a circular wall-slot containing occasional stake-holes possibly of wattle-built walls with a doorway facing SE. Inside the wall-slot there was evidence for internal roof supports in the form of a circular setting of 6 post-holes. House B was located immediately N of house A and consisted of a subcircular area (diam. C.8m) defined by a wall-slot with an internal ring of stake-holes for internal roof supports and main doorway facing SE. House C was located to the NE of house A and was only partially visible due to possible disturbance by a modern field boundary and tree-line. A number of post-holes and the W portion of the enclosing wall-slot along with the doorway at SE were the only features visible. Structure D was located 9m S of house A and consisted of an interrupted gully, a possible doorway and two post-holes inside the doorway. The excavator was unable to conclusively identify the function or extent of this structure. Structure E was a possible post-built structure which was cut by the W side of house A nd the E side of house B. A large number of other subsidary features which predated houses A and B were identified and formed a possible subrectangular pattern. The excavator was uncertain of the true nature of this structure. (Ó Néill 1998, Killoran 8, 173-4) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

Description
Situated on a low plateau overlooking marshy ground and Moyne stream to the S. Monitoring of topsoil removal in 1997 uncovered a large cluster of small pits belonging to a flat cremation cemetery of prehistoric date. Excavation revealed a total of 70 pits within an area measuring 11m E-W x 9m N-S with no visible trace of an enclosing ditch or boundary. Most of the pits were circular in plan and measured between 0.75m and 0.13m in diameter and in depth from 0.37m to 0.5m. 28 individual burials were recorded; 26 pits were sealed or partly sealed by a capping of local booulder clay. Of these 20 produced cremated bone with a further 8 also containing bone but with no capping. 29 pits or post-holes had no bone but contained a charcoal rich silty fill while a further 13 pits were unexcavated. Coarseware pottery fragments of possible Bronze Age appearance were present in the fill of one of the cremation pits (Stevens 1998, Killoran 10, 174-5). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.

Description
Situated on flat bogland. Archaeologically excavated over two seasons this site consisted of a causeway (L 555m; Wth 0.35m) orientated E-W and constructed before 1440 BC +/-9 yrs. The causeway revealed three phases of construction with a variation in building techniques over the length of the road. Originally the site consisted of two parallel rows of stakes (L 456-488m), up to 1,400 in number, which acted as marker posts for the causeway (Wth 1.4m). This phase was radiocarbon dated to between 1745 and 1405 BC. Phase two was represented by the construction of a paved flagstone surface on top of the well-worn compressed peat and was radiocarbon dated to 1605-1285 BC. In places there was a need for a brushwood and sand foundation for the causeway. At both ends of the trackway a different construction method was used. At the W end the road consisted of a deep deposit of longitudinal roundwood, occasional planks and brushwood. A later phase of intermittent repairs to the stone causeway with oak planks being laid over transverse roundwood was dated to before 1440 BC +/-9yrs (Coughlan and Stevens 1999, Killoran 18, 56-60).
