  Situated on a low rise of ground in undulating courtryside. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 20m E-W) enclosed by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.4-1.1m) which has been mainly reduced to a scarp with an external fosse (Wth 2.3m; D 0.4m). No entrance feature visible. A field fence intersects the fosse at W on a N-S axis. 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).

• TN041-015 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope, adjacent to Drish River which flows to the W of the site, in pasture. Depicted as a roughly oval enclosure defined by trees/outcrop on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map but not indicated on the 1952-3 ed. where outcrop is indicated in this vicinity. The area is used as a dump with mounds of rubble among some scrub and the ground is very uneven. Barn/sheds have been built on or near the NE quadrant of the site. Not visible at ground level. Of doubtful antiquity.

H 0.7-1m) and a shallow outer fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.2m) with no entrance feature visible. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN042-003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the E-facing slope of a low N-S ridge in undulating countryside with a nearby tower house (TN042-004) to the SE. A raised circular area (diam. 28m N-S approx.) which was heavily overgrown at the time of visit enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1-1.6m) reduced to a scarp in places. No entrance feature visible. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN042-004001 Bawn
  Description

  Situated on high ground with extensive views, a nearby church (TN042-005) to the SE and a ringfort (TN042-003) to the NW. Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as a 'castle out of all repaire' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 43). Theobald Purcell of Loughmoe is listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.). The well-preserved remains of a large impressive tower house (TN042-004002) four storeys high built of coursed limestone rubble with base-batter and rounded corners. Access to the interior was not possible due to a locked gate at the main entrance. A two-centred doorway with rebated jambs in the centre of the E wall was protected by a machicolation at wall-walk level (now destroyed). A circular enclosure around the castle described in the OS Letters is now only visible as a differential growth in vegetation and probably represents an earth and stone bawn (TN042-004001) (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 184-5).

• TN042-004002 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on high ground with extensive views, a nearby church (TN042-005----) to the SE and a ringfort (TN042-003----) to the NW. Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as a 'castle out of all repaire' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 43). Theobald Purcell of Loughmoe is listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.). The well-preserved remains of a large impressive tower house (ext. dims. 9.2m N-S; 12.7m E-W; wall T 3m) four storeys high built of coursed limestone rubble with base-batter and rounded corners. Access to the interior was not possible due to a locked gate at the main entrance. A two-centred doorway with rebated jambs in the centre of the E wall was protected by a machicolation at wall-walk level (now destroyed). A lobby protected by an overhead murder-hole gave access to the ground-floor barrel-vaulted chamber and the stairs in the SE angle from which all upper floors were accessed. Fenestration consists of flat and round-headed single lights with twin-light ogee-headed windows at the third storey. There is a destroyed machicolation at wall-walk level on the N wall and a garderobe chute outlet at the S end of the W wall. A circular enclosure around the castle described in the OS Letters is now only visible as a differential growth in vegetation and probably represents an earth and stone bawn (TN042-004001-) (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 184-5).

  Situated at the base of an E-facing slope on flat poorly drained land with a nearby tower house (TN042-004002) to the W.
