Recorded monuments
- TN040-043 Sweathouse
Description
Situated on a SW-facing slope, built into rock outcrop which forms a terrace near the top of a hill, in rough pasture. This is a small chamber (int. dims 1.38m x 2.23m; max. H 1.43m) constructed of drystone sandstone walling with a corbelled roof, though the back wall utilises the rock outcrop. There is a lintelled entrance at SE (Wth 0.58m; H 1.38m), the sidestones of which are largely broken out and a possible shelf (Wth 0.22m x H 0.18m x D 0.13m) in the SW wall 0.65m above the floor level. Some cracks on the NE internal wall may be heat fractures. There is a lot of collapsed stone in the interior. According to local information a large stone was used to block the entrance but this has since been removed. 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
- TN040-052 Earthwork
Description
Situated in upland area on W facing slope of rising ground with good extensive views to W and higher ground to E. Field boundary intersects earthwork at S running along an E-W axis. Present remains consist of a semi-circular sunken wet area (dims. 4.5m N-S; D 0.2m) enclosed by a low earthen bank (top Wth 1m; base Wth 2m; ext. H 0.4m) with faint traces of an outer fosse, no entrance feature visible. The enclosing bank and outer fosse are destroyed along the S side of the site by the field boundary which runs along an E-W axis. May be the remains of a much degraded possble ring-barrow or could be the remains of a possible square-shaped hut site (ext. dims. 6m E-W) that has been truncated by a field boundary.
