- TS076-001001 Enclosure
Description
On generally flat summit of hill in undulating terrain, under fairly lush pasture. Land rises very gradually to S and W. A large enclosure (TS076-001003-) is conjoined to the E of this monument and field banks (TS076-001002-) are associated with it. Bivallate ringfort (TS076-003----) located c. 150m to NE. Enclosure is levelled, however, its outline is clearly visible as a cropmark, with lush grass and thistles growing in former fosse (Wth 3-4m). A square enclosure (diam. c. 28m N-S; 28.7m E-W), the outline of which is clearly visible on the ground as a cropmark, with lush grass and thistles growing in the former fosse (Wth 3-4m). In 1982 (Cahill) the enclosure was delimited by a low bank and fosse. In an earlier aerial photograph (CUCAP 13 July 1966 AOZ 96) the enclosure is obscured by trees. More recent aerial photographs, ASIAP (31) 8-10 (1996?) show the outline of the monument as a cropmark. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS076-001002 Field boundary
Description
On generally flat summit of hill in undulating terrain, under fairly lush pasture. Land rises very gradually to S and W. In an aerial photograph (CUCAP AOZ 96 13 July 1966), a bank is shown extending W from near the N edge of the large enclosure (TS076-001003-). This is probably an old field boundary, possibly associated with the monument. It is no longer visible above ground level and does not show up on ASIAP (31) 8, 1996. Another field bank runs roughly N-S from the SW quadrant of the large enclousure, it is visible as an earthwork on the earlier aerial photograph and as a cropmark on the later one.

- TS076-001003 Enclosure
Description
On generally flat summit of hill in undulating terrain, under fairly lush pasture. Land rises very gradually to S and W. A smaller enclosure (TS076-001001-) is located along the W edge of this monument and field banks (TS076-001002-) are associated with it. Bivallate ringfort (TS076-003----) located c. 150m to NE. A large, roughly D-shaped enclosure (diam. c. 100m) with the N side being particular straight. According to landowner it was levelled c. 20 years ago. The fosse is visible as a cropmark to E and S, however, there is no visible trace above ground of N side. The S and E quadrants enclose the base of the hill. The S side kinks out slightly where a field boundary, running N-S, meets the monument. When Cahill (1982) visited the monument it was defined by a bank with portion of the fosse in evidence on S and E side and internal divisions were also visible. The enclosure is upstanding in an aerial photograph (CUCAP 13 July 1966 AOZ 96) when it was grass covered and appears to be defined by scarp. There may have been an outer enclosing element. This is evidenced on the 2nd (1901-05) ed. OS 6-inch map by a scarp running concurrently with the SE quadrant of the inner enclosure at a distance of c. 20m. This shows up on the aerial photograph as a bank, partially covered hidden by trees. It also appears to have been transected N-S by a bank or ditch, traces of which are apparent on the aerial photograph. This may or may not be contemporary with the enclosure. More recent aerial photographs (ASIAP (31) 9-10 (1996); GB89.AA.28 16 July 1989) show the outline of the monument as a cropmark. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS076-002 Enclosure
Description
On a N-facing slope in undulating terrain, just off crest of slope, under tillage. Enclosure identified as a circular cropmark (diam. c. 30m) on aerial photograph (GSI 16.4.1974 S.633/4). No visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 16 September 2014
- TS076-003 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a NW-facing slope in undulating terrain, surrounded by pasture. Trees growing around inner bank and outer bank in W sector. Bivallate circular ringfort (diam. N-S 29.7m; E-W 29m) enclosed by inner bank (Wth 1.8m crest, 4.25m base; int. H 0.36m; H 1.24m above fosse) wide, shallow, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3.1m) and outer bank (Wth 2m crest, 3.8m base; H above int. fosse 0.3m; H above ext. 0.68m). Outer bank only survives from SE-S-SW-NW, with a slight scarp beyond this to N. In E half of ringfort the inner bank is reduced to scarp (H 0.7m over 2.1m above fosse) and fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.3m). Internal stone revetment on inner bank clearly visible in W sector. Interior slopes very gently towards entrance in NW (Wth 3m). Field boundary runs roughly N-S c. 6m E of outer edge of fosse, outer bank not visible in this sector. Upcast from badgers sets in S and SW quadrant in fosse and to lesser extent in both banks. Post and wire fence runs outside S and W sides with gate immediately SE. The area immediately E of the ringfort is part of a cattle track which no doubt has aided the denudation of the outer defences in this sector.

- TS076-004 House - 17th century
Description
On fairly level ground at base of a N-facing slope. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) seven acres of land in Outeragh was owned by Theobald Butler 'on wch is a thatcht house & an Oarchard' (Simington 1931, vol.1, 236). The present townland house is depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. It is a two storey, four-bay house, aligned N-S, facade facing E. Three brick chimney stacks, one at either gable and one centrally placed. New sawn timber roof covered with slates. House currently unoccupied but dry internally. House probably modified internally. Several of the doors, including an upstairs door at the top of the stairs leading to a corridor, are well defended with draw-bars and locks. There is a brick-lined wall oven in the E wall of the fireplace in the N gable. Features such as the wall-oven and corner fireplaces suggest a possible late 17th-century or early 18th-century date for this house. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS076-005 Enclosure
Description
On a W-facing slope in undulating terrain, under tillage. Enclosure levelled (diam. c. 30m), however there is a slight curving rise which may be the remains of the bank in the S quadrant. A field boundary, still intact, runs roughly E-W immediately N of the enclosure, kinking out to avoid the monument. Lot of stone of this area of the field. Monument is marked as an irregular area with trees on 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and as a D-shaped area on 2nd (1901-05) ed. OS 6-inch map defined by bank in N and E sectors and by scarp in S and W. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS076-006 Quarry
Description
On break of a W-facing slope in undulating terrain, under pasture. Ground dips down into a shallow hollow. Enclosure appears as an irregular area enclosing trees on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and as a quarry on the 2nd (1901-05) ed. No visible trace of monument above ground. Shelter belt of trees now runs roughly NS up to former E sector of possible enclosure. Field boundary to N running roughly NW-SE. An aerial photograph (GB89.AA.27 16 July 1989) shows a cropmark at this location consistent with a filled in quarry. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS076-007 Enclosure
Description
On flat hill top in undulating terrain, under tillage. Enclosure levelled, however, slight rise in N, E and S defines edge of former monument (diam c. 40m). Lot of stones in vicinity of former enclosure. Hill slopes S immediately S of enclosure and also gently to N. Enclosure is indicated on both 1st (1840) and 2nd (1901-05) ed. OS 6-inch map as D-shaped enclosure defined by fosse, with straight sides to N and W. Levelled enclosure (TS076-005----) may have been visible c. 170m to NW. According to Cahill (1982 Unpublished) the enclosure was levelled after 1966. It appears as a D-shaped cropmark on an aerial photograph taken c. 1996 (ASIAP (31) 2-6).

- TS076-009 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a natural rise in undulating terrain, ground falling off in every direction. Main Cahir-Cashel section of Cork road located to W. Ringfort almost rectangular in shape (diam. 37.6m N-S; 29.7m E-W) with rounded corners, shape accentuated by internal wire fencing and truncation of banks. It is defined by a bank (Wth 1.5m crest, 4m base; int. H 0.27m; ext. H 0.57m in S sector) which is reduced to scarp in N the sector (H 0.76m). Trees planted along bank on N side and outside bank in E, S and W quad. Farm road runs roughly N-S immediately beyond W bank and trackway immediately N running E-W. Farm buildings to NW and W. Interior under grass which is kept cut. Entrance (Wth 2.4m) in S quadrant. Bank slopes to slightly concave interior. N bank and NW corner external face truncated by trackway, lot of stone visible in clay bank. W face also truncated, stone wall reveting bank, heavily overgrown with ivy. Ringfort indicated as a roughly rectangular area on 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map, enclosed by field boundary and possibly partially truncated by main road along W side. A stone wall runs along base of bank in S quadrant terminated at both SW corner and near SE corner by a gate pier. Farm building located immediately N and S of the ringfort.

- TS076-010 Castle - unclassified
Description
Near crest of flat-topped ridge on SE facing slope. Main Cahir-Cashel section of Cork road runs NE-SW along top of ridge. Outeragh Church (TS075-018----) is located 200m to SW. The Civil Survey (1654-6) records William Butler, Irish Papist as being the proprietor in 1640 'of two acres on wch is a castle' at 'Owghteragh' (Simington 1931, vol.1, 236). Ruins of castle lie in small area of scrub (dims. 13m N-S; 24m E-W) with trees and other vegetation around the edge. Field under tillage. This fallow scrub area has been used to dump field clearance stones and dead wood. Six separate piles of collapsed masonry. Castle was of rubble limestone and sandstone construction, randomly coursed. Though the chunks of masonry have collapsed and are overgrown, flat faces are visible with returns, either for internal features such as embrasures, cupboards or wall returns. Wall thickness up to 1.2m. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS076-018 Church
Description
On a slight rise in gently undulating terrain, surrounded by pasture, with the main N8 Cahir-Cashel road running N-S to the W. Geoffrey Keating (Seathrún Céitinn) was the parish priest of Outeragh in 1610 (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 133). The church (ext. dims. 8.8m N-S; 19.9m E-W; wall T 0.95-1.05m) is roughly centrally placed within a rectangular graveyard (TS076-018001-) and built of roughly coursed limestone rubble with occasional sandstone conglomerate. The E and W gables of the church are heavily ivy covered, though the outline of a bellcote is visible on the latter. Only the E end of the N wall survives (H 3.6m) and evidence of a doorway in the W end is indicated by a drawbar-hole in the masonry. A short length of the W end of the S wall survives. According to the OS Letters of 1840 there was a 'clump of the south wall attached at some height from the ground to the east gable, on which some traces of the eastern side of a window are noticeable' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 122). A large broken-out window in the E gable is splayed internally, the surrounds are missing, though according to Cahill (unpublished 1982) it had sandstone dressing and a sandstone jambstone with an external chamfer lies at the internal base of the E gable. Along the N wall there is a tall narrow embrasure, the window itself broken out. The N wall has a slight base-batter (Wth 0.3m; H 1.25m), but this has been removed at the E end and the wall straightened and repointed to provide a back wall for a modern 'oratory' or prayer shelter. Otherwise this structure consists of a concrete plinth and slated gabled roof held up by sections of pipe filled with concrete. The N end of the W wall has been altered. While the lower courses remain, the wall above has been re-faced and, in effect, shortened. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS076-018001 Graveyard
Description
On a slight rise in gently undulating terrain, surrounded by pasture. Main Cahir-Cashel section of Cork road runs roughly N-S to W. Church (TS076-018----) is roughly centrally placed with the rectangular graveyard (dims. 46m N-S; 59m E-W), defined by an earthen bank with stone revetment on either face. Boundary surmounted by mature beech trees, except on W side which is surmounted by scrub. Entrance through wrought-iron gate towards W end of N side of boundary. Headstones are located immediately outside the former S wall of the church. Earliest visible headstone is dated 1767. Corbel reused as headstone. Immediately E of the E gable there is a table-top tomb over a vault which, according to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1830, vol. 2, 122), was erected to the memory of Michael Keating of Cahir.

- TS076-019 Enclosure
Description
On a NE-facing slope, under pasture. Depicted on 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map as an irregularly shaped enclosure with trees in interior and field boundary running roughly E-W along the northern portion and another running N-S from the S quadrant of the enclosure, this latter is still intact. However, by the 2nd (1901-05) ed. OS 6-inch map the monument had been removed and a field boundary created which runs E-W along the former S sector of the enclosure, this now has mature trees growing along it. This possible enclosure is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 22 September 2014
- TS076-019001 Enclosure
Description
Just off crest of hill on gradual NW-facing slope, ground falls quite sharply immediately NW of monument, under pasture. Enclosure not depicted on 1st (1840) or 2nd (1901-05) ed. OS 6-inch map but identified during field survey (Jean Farrelly, 2 October 2000). Monument has been ploughed over but is visible as a circular area (diam. 29.1m N-S; 31.2m E-W) defined by a low, broad bank (Wth c. 2.8m; ext. H 0.14m) and in the SW quadrant by a bank (Wth 1.75m crest, 4.2m base; int. H 1.24m; ext. H 1.32m) augmented by a field boundary and very slight, shallow, wide external fosse. Lot of stone evident in bank composition. Monument is grass-covered with brambles growing in the SW quadrant. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 22 September 2014
- TS076-020 Ringfort - rath
Description
On crest of broad, flat-topped ridge, sloping slightly to S, in pasture. Ringfort (TS076-021----) located c. 150m to the SSW and Outeragh Church (TS076-018----) is c. 300m to the NW. Roughly circular area (ext. diam. c. 25m N-S; c. 28m E-W) heavily overgrown with scrub and nettles. Monument is defined by a bank with high stone content (Wth 1.5m crest, 4.8m base; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1.38m). There is no visible trace of an ext. fosse, though nettles are growing vigorously at the ext. base of bank. A field boundary runs roughly NE-SW outside the S quadrant. Two field boundaries to N of the ringfort have been removed. Bank is largely intact but denuded by cattle in places. Limited digging into bank in E quadrant. In S-SW sector the bank is reduced to scarp. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS076-021 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a gently undulating SE-facing slope in pastureland. Outeragh church (TS076-018----) located to NW. Roughly circular bivallate ringfort (diam. 33m N-S; 38.5m E-W), enclosed by inner bank (Wth 2-2.7m crest, 6.6-6.8m base; int. H 0.56-48m; H above fosse 2.04-2.26m); deep U-shaped fosse (Wth 2.3-1.9m) and outer bank (H above fosse 1.2-1.5m; Wth 3.6-2.2m crest; 8.4-4.4m base; H above ext. 0.92-037m), all measurements are from S and W quadrant respectively. Both banks have rounded profile, though in N quadrant the broad outer bank rises towards the exterior. Interior slopes gently to entrance in E quadrant. Entrance defined by reduction in height of both the inner and outer bank (Wth 2.4m and 4.8m respectively), no causeway over fosse. Two earthfast boulders on S side of entrance, in fosse, may be remains of entrance lining. Interior grass covered with some thistles and trees on the banks. Field boundary with stone revetment runs N-S immediately E of ringfort. Field bank also runs roughly E-W along S side of ringfort (distance of 1-1.3m) and curves around outside W quadrant. Some stone evident in banks but mainly clay. No visible trace of ext. fosse. Field bank, quite denuded, also runs just outside N quadrant. In the NW quadrant there is a cattle gap through the outer bank with a slight gap in the inner bank, and a slight causeway. Causeway in NE quadrant (Wth 2.2m; H above fosse 0.5m) but no corresponding gap in inner or outer bank. Lot of stone visible in inner face of outer bank in SW quadrant. Gap in inner bank in W and S quadrants. Monument, as depicted on OS 6-inch map, is still enclosed by field boundaries. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS076-022001 Ringfort - rath
Description
In fairly level, low-lying terrain, gently undulating to SW, under lush pasture. Enclosure (TS076-022002-) visible c. 120m to E. Enclosure (TS076-022003-) and ringwork (TS076-022004-) are located 150m to ESE and 100m to SE respectively. Oval enclosure (diam. 33.6m N-S; 27.2m E-W) defined by an earthen and stone bank (Wth 1.6m crest, 4.8m base; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1.4m) with stones protruding from surface. Interior grass and nettle covered. Lot of scrub on bank in W and SW quadrant. Entrance (Wth 3.3m) in E quadrant appears to have been broken through. Shallow fosse in SE quadrant (Wth c. 2.3m) is accentuated by lush grass and nettle growth. Along W side the bank is reduced to scarp. Field bank runs N-S immediately W of W sector. Clay dumped into fosse on W side between scarp and field bank. NW sector of ringfort appears to runs onto the N-S field bank, probably upcast from small quarry immediately NW of enclosure. NW quadrant is disturbed due to upcast from adjacent quarry. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS076-022002 Enclosure
Description
In fairly level low-lying terrain, gently undulating to SW, in lush pasture. Ringfort (TS076-022001-) visible c. 120m to W, ringwork (TS076-022004-) visible c. 60m to SW and enclosure (TS076-022003-) is located immediately to to S, possibly conjoined. This enclosure has been levelled but is still apparent as a raised area (dims. c. 48m NE-SW), though not clearly defined to S. A field boundary runs NE-SW along S edge of the monument, dividing it from the enclosure S of the boundary. On the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map (TS076-022002-) and (TS076-022003-) appear to be conjoined. The enclosure shows up on an aerial photograph (CUCAP 13 July 1966 APA I). It appear to consist of a roughly triangular shape, with the field boundary forming one side. It appears to have been defined by a bank and external fosse.
