Recorded monuments

• TN020-095 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on flat ground in an upland area with a nineteenth-century house to the NE. A circular area (diam. 21m N-S) enclosed by a poorly preserved bank mainly reduced to a scarp (H 0.3m) and a shallow fosse (Wth 3.5m) with an outer tree-lined earthen bank (Wth 2.3m; ext. H 0.6m). No entrance feature visible. This site may have been reused as a tree-ring associated with nearby nineteenth-century house. 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

• TN020-100 Well
  Description

  Depicted as 'Well' on the first ed. OS 6-inch map but not on subsequent editions. Patrick's Well (TN020-085001-) 90m to E and bullaun stone (TN020-157----) re-used as a mass rock 270m to SSW. According to the OS Namebooks (O'Donovan et al. c.1840) the well known as ' "Toberavault House"/"Toberavault" A spring well of excellent water. It is considered a holy well, but no information could be obtained to lead to the origin of the name'. John O'Donovan adds 'I do not think this name worth giving as it cannot be of any antiquity. I think it ought to be mark[ed] "well" or spring well on the map'. Field inspection established that this is a natural spring well and does not appear to have any religious affinities.

• TN020-157 Bullaun stone
  Description

  In grassland, situated atop ridge running E-W in upland area with good views of the surrounding countryside from W through N to NNE. Ruins of Lissenhall House located 100m to S. Spring well known as the vaulted well (TN020-100----) 270m to NNE. Holy well known as Patrick’s Well (TN020-085001-) located 340m to NE. Roughly rectangular shaped boulder (H 0.78m-0.5m x 0.97m x 1m) the surface of which slopes upwards from E to W. A deep circular hollow or bowl (top diam. 0.27m; base diam. 0.12m; D 0.14m) is located off centre close to W edge of stone. Nine smooth water-rolled stones (dam. 0.1-0.2m) have been placed into the bowl of the bullaun. The remains of two shallow circular depressions (diam. 0.16m; 0.2m) can be seen on the surface of the boulder close to the E edge. According to the ITA Survey carried out in the 1940s, this bullaun stone was used as a mass rock during penal times and was known locally as ‘Ballycahill Mass Rock’ (pers. comm. Derek Ryan). The ITA described the site as following: ‘By an old whitethorn bush, on the rim of a semi circular depression in the ground, is a roughly built table of large stones. One huge stone on top has a circular bowl-shaped depression about a foot (0.3m) in diameter which is said to have been used as a Holy water font’. Lissenhall school recorded in the 1930s the following folklore about the locality which appears to be describing this bullaun stone; ‘On the tops of several large stones here there are small holes which fill with water. People who have warts rub them with this water are cured. The holes are known as wart wells. It is said that mass was offered on these stones in Penal days & that the holes were holy water fonts’ (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0537, Page 302).
