Recorded monuments

• TN007-075 Souterrain
  Description

  Situated on level pastureland. Discovered in 1983 during the construction of a modern shed and recorded by the Ikerrin Survey. The remains consisted of an underground passage (L 7.1m; H 1m; Wth 0.5m) orientated on a NE-SW axis with a lintelled roof and drystone side walls located approximately 0.6m below ground level (OPW file 1983). 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

• TN008-030001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on a SW-facing slope of rising ground in undulating countryside with good views of pastureland from E through S to W. A castle and dwelling are shown on Strafford's survey of 1637 (NLI 16.1.17(14a, 14b)). Not visible at ground level. Surviving architectural remains at 'South Park' belong to the late 18th century. It has been assumed that the house marked as South Park on the OS 6-inch maps was built on the site of 'Rathinan Castle' which was recorded in the Civil Survey of 1654 as 'an old demolished castle, the walls onely standing without any other Improvement' (Simington 1934, 283). the castle of 'Rathinane' is depicted standing just N of a 'Turlough' which is depicted on the first ed. OS 6-inch map. The building marked as 'South Park' is roughly located in the area depicted on the 1654-7 Down Survey map of Lower Ormond barony (NLI MS 721). However it is possible that the medieval castle was located at a different location to 'South Park'. This house was described by the NIAH as a 'Detached five-bay two-storey over basement house, built c. 1785, with earlier two-bay three-storey building attached to rear the latter with later lean-to porch. Artificial slate roofs, hipped to front block, with laterally placed chimneystacks to rear, and pitched to earlier block having large square stone chimneystack. Rendered walls with cut stone cornice to main block and tie bars to rear block' (www.buildingsofireland.ie). The block to the rear of the house appears to pre-date the 18th century house and may incorporate remains of the medieval castle of 'Rathinane'.
