Description

A semicircular area (diam. 17m NW-SE; 22m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5-3.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 3m) and wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4m; D 2.5m) with a causewayed entrance (Wth 4.5m) at S. A steep-sided ravine forms the defensive element of the site from N to NE, elsewhere the site is protected by 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).

A well-preserved ringfort consisting of a raised circular area (diam. 32m NW-SE) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5-3.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1m) reduced to a scarp in places with a possible entrance gap (Wth 4m) at SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

- TN031-063 Church
Description
Situated on the NW slope of a low hillock in an upland area. Kilnarath Church listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Cashel in 1302 (Cal. doc. Ire, 5, 281). The Civil Survey of 1654-56 recorded that that upon the said lands 'stands the parish Church of Killnyragh' (Simington 1934, 192). In 1652 Cornelius Ryan was listed as the parish priest of Kilnarath Church (Millett 1988, 24). In 1840 the Ordnance Survey recorded that the site of the medieval parish church was 'no longer in existence and its site is occupied by a small Protestant Church now in ruins' (O'Flanagan 1930, 6). A rectangular apse-ended post-1700 C of I church (ext. dims. 8.5m N-S; 21.6m E-W; wall T 0.75m) which contains two large barrel-vaulted mortuary vaults of nineteenth-century date probably stands on the site of the medieval parish church. No other features are visible due to a dense cover of ivy on the walls of the church which is located in a large rectangular-shaped graveyard (TN031-063002-) containing eighteenth- and nineteenth-century headstones. In the graveyard there is an upright holed stone (TN031-063003-) possibly re-used as a grave-marker which could be a medieval threshold stone or socket stone for a timber pivot of the doorway belonging to the medieval church (pers. comm. Derek Ryan). 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. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 19 October 2017
- TN031-063001 Graveyard
Description
Situated on the NW slope of a low hillock in an upland area. Listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Cashel in 1302 (Cal. doc. Ire., 5, 281). The ruins of a post-1700 C of I church stands on the site of the medieval church (TN031-063----) which is located in a large rectangular-shaped graveyard (approx. dims. 44m N-S x 60m E-W) containing eighteenth- and nineteenth-century headstones. In 1654-56 the one acre glebe of the medieval church was described as being 'situated close to the Churchyard of the said parish on the South west part thereof & fenced with a ditch' (Simington 1934, 395). This glebe land is the present graveyard which is depicted as the 'Glebe' on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of revised upload: 19 October 2017
- TN031-063002 Holed stone

Situated on the NW slope of a low hillock in an upland area. Kilnarath Church (TN031-063----) listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Cashel in 1302 (Cal. doc. Ire, 5, 281). A rectangular apse-ended nineteenth-century C of I church stands in a large square-shaped graveyard (TN031-063002-) containing eighteenth- and nineteenth-century headstones. In the graveyard there is an upright holed stone (TN031-063003-) possibly re-used as a grave-marker which could be a medieval threshold stone or socket stone for a timber pivot of the doorway belonging to the medieval church (pers. comm. Derek Ryan). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details kindly provided by Derek Ryan. Date of upload: 19 October 2017
- TN031-064 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on flat poorly drained land in an upland area with nearby ringforts (TN031-058, TN031-066, TN031-067) to the NW and SE respectively. A raised circular area (diam. 27.5m N-S; 24.5m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.2m) and an external fosse (Wth 2.3m; D 0.4m) which was waterlogged at the time of visit. The bank is destroyed at E by an intersecting field fence on an E-W axis. No entrance feature visible.
