No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Rossestown.

## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- TN041-010: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTN041-010----. Situated at the base of a W-facing slope in rolling pastureland. The site is referred to in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as a 'stump of a Castle and a Bawne' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 40). John Purcell and Wm Prendergast are listed as proprietors in 1640 (ibid.). A low rectangular area (c. 46m NW-SE; 31m NE-SW) appears to have been built up to provide a platform (H c.1m) and an area of dry, stony ground at the SE end of this platform probably marks the exact location of the castle. No visible trace of castle above ground. A well and stream are indicated on the latest ed. OS 6-inch map immediately N of the castle but these are no longer visible. Site marked as 'Site of Castle' on 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map, though some stonework appears to have been visible as according to the OS Letters 'near it stands a part of the walls' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 188). 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
- TN041-011: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTN041-011----. Situated on a gradual NE-facing slope in undulating countryside. This site has been levelled - a slight rise in the field suggests the bank of the E sector with no features visible elsewhere. Identified as a roughly circular enclosure on an aerial photograph taken in 1973 (GSIAP, S 463/2) with an E-W field boundary defining the N sector. 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
- TN041-013: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTN041-013----. Located partially on the crest of a N-S ridge and on the SE slope, in undulating pastureland. A roughly circular site (diam. 28m NE-SW) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.7m; int. H 0.36m; ext. H 1.06m). No external fosse visible. Break in bank in E quadrant (Wth 2.1m). Field boundaries run close to the edge of the site as shown on the 1952-3 ed. OS 6-inch map. 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
- TN041-014: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTN041-014----. Located on a SW-facing slope in slightly undulating terrain. Identified as a circular cropmark on an aerial photograph taken in 1973 (GSIAP, S 462/1). Not visible at ground level. 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

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
