- TS061-025034 Burial
Description
Excavation in 1999 of Cashel's medieval town wall and associated features was conducted before the construction of a library, adjacent to Friar Street (Gregory 2000, 286). The excavated area consisted of the N-S basal remains of the town wall, built c. 1265 (ibid.). The inner portion of the town wall was built on the remains of a substantial backfilled ditch that extended beyond the excavation area. Part of a human burial was recovered from the base of this ditch. The backfill contained 13th/14th-century pottery. It is probable that the pottery entered here during the backfilling phase. The nature of the backfill is consistent with bank material. It is possible that this ditch and bank arrangement has some association with the nearby St John's Cathedral. St John's Cathedral is on the site of an earlier, medieval church (TS061-025013-). Feehan's Road immediately to the south of St John's Cathedral describes a curve, which may be the boundary of an ecclesiastical enclosure. If the orientation of the low ridge on which St John's Cathedral stands is considered with the curve of Feehan's Road, it is not implausible that the backfilled ditch forms part of an ecclesiastical enclosure. The partially excavated remains of the human burial would substantiate an ecclesiastical perspective. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 31 July 2014
- TS061-025037 Building
Description
An excavation in 2000 at Ladyswell revealed a medieval building c. 250m N of the medieval town of Cashel (TS061-025----) (O'Brien 2002, 314). Two walls of the building, at right angles to each other, and an internal floor surface was revealed (ibid.). Sealed between this floor level and later structural collapse was a portion of a medieval strap handle, animal bones and six roof nails (ibid.). Based on the ceramic evidence a terminus post quem in the 14th-15th centuries could be suggested for the final phase of the building (ibid.). A well/sump feature also uncovered may have been contemporaneous with the building though the upper fills were very disturbed (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 31 July 2014
- TS061-026 Ritual site - holy well
Description
The location of the original Lady's Well was in a field at the junction of Lady's Well Street and Bohereenglass. The present well, although channelled from the same stream as the original, is a recent monument erected at the junction of the main Dublin and Holycross roads. According to local information the original well was totally covered during the construction of a large housing development on the site during the 1950s.
