Recorded monuments

• TN047-065 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a natural rise in gently undulating terrain. The site is heavily overgrown which made detailed examination impossible. The area is enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.4-1m; ext. H 1.2m) with no visible evidence of an external fosse. The field is in tillage almost up to the edge of the bank. 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

• TN047-066 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a NE-facing slope in undulating terrain with a ringfort (TN047-065) to the NW and an enclosure (TN047-067) to the SW. The semicircular outline of an enclosure visible as a crop-mark on an aerial photograph taken in 1965 (CUCAP, ALV 60), appears to have been the N half of a formerly circular site. Not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN047-067 Castle - ringwork
  Description

  Situated just off the crest of a very gentle NE-facing slope in undulating terrain. A large, roughly D-shaped area (dims. 89m N-S; 95m E-W) defined by a substantial bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.3m) and an external fosse (Wth 3.8m; D 0.8m) with an internal, roughly square-shaped platform (dims. 22.2m NW-SE; 20.3m E-W) defined by a scarp (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.8m) which has been levelled. The sides appear to be straight with rounded corners sloping gently to the exterior. The interior of this small platform is slightly raised in the centre and may represent the foundations of a medieval building. The outer enclosure has been completely levelled at NE to provide room for a concrete floor and slatted shed for farmyard expansion. There is a modern gap in the SE sector. Immediately NW of the central platform and within the outer enclosure there are a number of low linear mounds which may represent former walls/boundaries, however these form no clear pattern. A sunken way/trackway is located immediately E of the site, extending E-W, and appears to be associated. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN047-068 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  Situated on a low rise of ground with good views in all directions. In 1612 the 'manor, castle, bawn town and lands of Maykarke were granted to John Cantwell (Cal. pat. Rolls, Ire., Jas I, 197). A number of earthworks (TN047-068006) have shown up on aerial photographs taken in 1966 (CUCAP, AOZ 83/APD 37) N and E of the tower house and bawn (TN047-068002/004)). One of these consists of a ditch (Wth 2m; D 0.81m) aligned E-W, 8.7m outside and parallel to the N side of the bawn. Stone projects out from the edge of the N face of the fosse/ditch. This ditch shows up on aerial photographs (CUCAP, AOZ 83, APD 37). There is also a moated site (TN047-068007) to the W of the tower house (TN047-068002). Though the earthworks don't conform to a village pattern they probably relate to medieval settlement at the site The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN047-068001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in undulating terrain; part of the medieval settlement at Moycarky (TN047-068). Listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Cashel in 1302 (CDI, vol. 5, 283). A nave (dims. 8.9m N-S;18.8m E-W; wall T 0.9m) and chancel (dims. 7.26m N-S; 10.7m E-W; wall T 0.8m) church constructed of coursed large chunky blocks of limestone with large quoinstones alternating with smaller stones. Three phases of building are apparent. The first phase consists of a simple rectangular church, now the nave, entered through a round-headed doorway at the W end of the S wall. The S wall has a breach through the centre, with recent rebuilding on the E side giving it a straight edge. There is evidence of a window at the E end of the S wall with splayed ingoings but the light itself has been crudely blocked up and the lower end of the embrasure partly broken away. The W wall has remains of a tall central round-headed embrasure with splayed ingoings, which was superseded by a single ogee-headed window with internal splayed rebate and external chamfer. At ground level there is a small, flat-headed embrasure with splayed ingoing containing a flat-headed window rebated internally and chamfered externally. Roughly level with the lintel of this embrasure are four corbels along the W wall, one broken, with a beam slot in the W end of the N wall and a cruder beam slot in the opposing S wall to receive a cross-beam. The N wall has a gap in the W end which has been crudely filled with stones cemented together, suggesting that there was an opposing door here as there appear to be remains of jambs on the E side which are splaying internally. Another gap towards the E end of the N wall may be a collapsed window. The former E gable has the remains of a central light with a round-headed arch and splayed ingoings. This window was partially knocked out and the original light blocked up when the chancel was added in the fifteenth century. A round-headed chancel arch, with chamfered edge on both sides and diagonal tooling, was inserted in the former E gable of the church. Probably also at this time the gable was built up above the original window level as the masonry is different, consisting of smaller roughly coursed stones. In the sixteenth/seventeenth century a doorway consisting of an almost round-headed slightly pointed arch set within a segmental-headed embrasure was inserted in the centre of the chancel arch, the intervening space being infilled. A large eye-stone on the S side with punch-tooling is similar to that on an ogee window in the W gable. The chancel could be entered through a tall, pointed doorway at the W end of the S wall. It was lit by a small, flat-headed single light at the E end of the S wall and by a two-light ogee-headed window in the E gable, which externally has decorated cusps and a hood-moulding. The central mullion is missing, however portion of it is acting as a grave marker in the graveyard (TN047-068008) S of the church. The E gable of the chancel is surmounted by a bellcote with cut stone quoins and bellcote surround. The opening for the bell is flat-headed and lintelled.

• TN047-068002 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on the summit of a natural rise with good views in all directions. Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as 'a bawne and castle in repaire' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 57). Wm Cantwell is listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.). A four storey tower house with an attic (dims. 10.5m N-S; 7.5m E-W; wall T 1.7m) and a two-storey turret running the length of the N wall, built of roughly coursed limestone rubble with large well-cut quoins and a high, slim base-batter (H 2.4m). There is a pointed vault over the first floor - all other floors were timber. A bad crack along the N end of the E side is putting the NE angle in danger. At battlement level there is a machicolation over the doorway and a bartizan on the SW angle. The parapet has stepped crenellations with drainage holes at base. The garderobe chute exits at the E end of the S wall. The original doorway was at the S end of the E wall - only the S half survives. A later entrance has been inserted immediately N of this and the intervening space has been blocked up. The former doorway led to a lobby with a murder-hole directly above. To the S the inner wall face has been robbed out and crudely smoothened giving the appearance of a very small chamber. The lobby gave access to the ground-floor chamber and the mural stairs, which rise along the E wall and have been partially blocked by a concrete-block wall. This ground floor chamber was lit by a window in each wall, all blocked or broken out except that in the W wall. The broken out E window now leads into a cattle-crush. There is a partially blocked-up wall cupboard at the E end of the S wall. Two-pointed arch recesses in the N wall at ground floor level. The first floor is lit by a flat-headed single-light in the centre of the S wall, with a blocked ope in the E wall. The murder-hole was accessed from a window embrasure at the S end of the E wall. There are wall cupboards at the E and W ends of the S wall. The N wall has a narrow doorway at the E end, completely blocked with cement blocks - the jambs on the W side are only partially intact. This blocked doorway led to a chamber, now only accessible through a break in the outer wall, the interior of which has well-preserved plaster. The second floor was entered through a pointed doorway at the W end of the N wall. It has a large wall cupboard in the N wall, smaller cupboards in the S wall and in the sides of the window embrasure in the S wall. The E wall has a fireplace, with only the back surviving, and a flat-headed recess with a rebate for a wooden lid to cover the murder-hole chute. A slop-stone lies beneath the sill of the S window. Opposite the doorway in the passage leading to the third-floor chamber there is a small recess lit by a slit-ope with a well-cut slop-stone sill. In the floor of this recess there is a rectangular opening which gives access to a secret chamber, directly under a mural passage. This secret chamber is a small barrel-vaulted room with wicker-centring and a crude opening in the N wall. The main third-floor chamber is entered through an elliptical-headed doorway in the W end of the N wall with a hanging-eye cut into the embrasure lintel. Another doorway at the E end of the N wall gives access to a turret behind the N gable of the main chamber. There is a possible fireplace at attic level. The second and third-floor chambers were lit by single and two-light ogee-headed windows with evidence of window seats. The attic rested on a timber floor carried in the thickness of the wall. The crease of the steep-pitched gable roof is still visible on the N wall of the covered gallery, high enough to accommodate the attic space below. The covered gallery is entered through a pointed doorway from the mural stairs. The lower chamber of the gallery, at fourth-floor level is lit by a central window in the N wall - the E wall is broken out. At the W end of the chamber there is a stone 'bench' which extends across the width of the chamber. The floor above is supported on corbels, two on both the N and S walls. Spiral stairs in the SW angle give access to the covered gallery at fifth-floor level. The upper chamber of the gallery is entered through a flat-headed doorway from the mural stairs. It is lit by a single-light ogee at the W end of the N wall and the remains of a window on the E wall, largely broken out and roofed with a barrel-vault with well-preserved wicker centring. At this level a flat-headed doorway from the mural stairs leads onto a parapet. Spiral stairs rise in the NW angle at fourth-floor level; a possible doorway with a single jamb remaining leads to the spiral stairs. There is a window opposite the door at the N end of the W wall with a large slop-stone underneath. There is a well-preserved bawn (TN047-068004-) with circular towers at the NE and SW angles and a bartizan at the NW angle. There is evidence of a wall-walk which provided access to cross-loops - two survive in the N wall and one in the E and W walls. The bartizan was accessed via steps from an embrasure in the bawn. The centre of the N wall has been destroyed. The entrance does not survive. The SW angle tower (int. dim. 2.5m; wall T 1.5m) consists of three storeys. The ground floor is entered through a pointed doorway at NE, built at right angles into the internal bawn wall. It has wooden floors throughout, accessed from mural stairs and has gun loops, square, round or cruciform, at every level. The three-storey NE angle tower was subject to alteration in the late eighteenth/nineteenth-century when it was used as a summerhouse or gazebo. The interior was plastered and windows were altered and inserted. It is entered through a pointed doorway at SW and has a number of gun loops. The first floor is entered from the mural stairs through a flat-headed doorway at N. It has a finely executed fireplace with roll-moulding on the jambs and has punch and diagonal tooling, the lintel curves with the wall. A narrow doorway at SW at first-floor level leads outside the bawn. The second floor, most altered, is entered in the E. The bawn appears to be the result of two phases of activity - the first associated with the tower house in the late fifteenth/early sixteenth-century and in the second phase during the seventeenth-century the wall was partially rebuilt and the angle towers were constructed. A sheela-na-gig (TN047-068003-), now lost, was formerly located in the S wall of the tower house. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN047-068003 Sheela-na-gig
  Description

  A sheela-na-gig (L 17in(5m)) was formerly located in the S wall of a tower house (TN047-068002) and was locally known as 'Cathleen Owen' (Anon. 1844, 575; Grove-White 1906, 88). The sheela-na-gig has been removed and its present location is unknown. A nineteenth-century sketch of figure preserved in the RIA Library, Dublin (Andersen 1977, 150; Freitag 2004, 145).
