• TS077-010 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  In c. 1200 Lisronagh appears to have been in the possession of Alexander de Worcester, as he died heirless the manor passed to the descendants of his brother of Philip de Worcester (Curtis 1935-7, 54). In a deed dated to c. 1200 Alexander grants land to the Hospital in frankalmoign for the building of their house and mill 'on the water whcih is between the said place and my house of Lesrotheragh' (ibid. 54). In an Extent of 1333 Lisronagh was owned by Lady Elizabeth de Burgo, wife of John de Burgo, who inherited from her brother Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Lord of the Liberty of Kilkenny, who died at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314 (Curtis 1935-7, 53). According to Curtis (ibid. 53-4) 'this Extent shows that it [Lisronagh] was then a rich and well-organised feudal manor and lordship...By 1400, however, the Earl of Ormond is found as over-lord of Lisronagh, and the actual residential lord of the burgh, if not of the whole manor, has the name Howet'. In 1402 David Howet "of Lysroragh" is mentioned as tenant of the Earl of Ormond in his Liberty of Tipperary (ibid. 55). Over a century later, in 1530, 'Richard, sone and heir of Thomas Howet of Lisronagh, grants to Peter Butler, Earl of Ormond, the site of his castle at Lisronagh which belonged to his father and grandfather before, but which had been levelled and ruined by Edmund fitz Piers Butler of Dunboyne' (ibid.). In the 17th century the land in the parish of Lisronagh was divided between a number of proprietors including 'Ellyn late Countess Dowager of Ormond and the Earle of Ormond' who owned the 'Mannor, and Castle of Court-Lisronagh' and 'Allexander Power of Tickincorr in the County of Waterford Esqr Richard Howett fitz Edmond John Howett fitz Edmond Nicholas Howett and Ellan Howett widdowe all of Lishronagh Irish Papists' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 295-6). According to the Civil Survey 'The sd Ellynn Lady Countess Dowager of Ormond Proprietrix for life in right of pt of her Dower or Joynture of the Mannor, Castle and three colpes of Court-Lishronagh And the sd Earle of Ormond Proprietor in fee of the Reversion by descent from his ancestors as wee are informed. Upon the sd lands of Court-Lishronagh standeth a castle' (ibid.). Remains of the medieval settlement of Lisronagh consist of a ringwork (TS077-010003-), tower house (TS077-010001-), church (TS077-010002-) and graveyard (TS077-010004-) and earthworks. Lyons (1937, 242-9) identified a number of earthworks. In the gently S sloping field N of the church Lyons (1937, 243) noted three burgage plots running roughly N-S, on inspection there are many undulations, but no clearly definable features. The large field on the 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map has been subsequently divided by an E-W field boundary into two fields with a house plot in the NE corner of each field. In the field immediately S of the tower house, near the NW corner, there is a raised earthwork (TS077-010008-) which roughly corresponds with Lyons' site 11 (ibid.), the adjacent field boundary, running N-S, appears to transect the W side of the earthwork, there appears to be some trace of it in the field to the W. Running roughly S of the tower house, Lyons recognised an old roadway (TS077-010006-), this roadway runs immediately E of the raised platform and consists of a shallow, flat-bottomed hollow-way (Wth 6m). The roadway ends abruptly at the new road, built in 1939, which runs E-W along the S boundary of the original large field. Approx. 25m S of the raised plaform there is another roughly circular platform (TS077-010009-), the E side of which skirts the old roadway. There are gentle undulations in the field E of the od roadway but no definable features. There is no visible trace above ground of the square monument, described as no.14 on Lyons' map, neither is the sharp kink in the old road around site 14. According to Lyons site 14 is a rectangular 'fort' (diam. 369'[112m] N-S; 210'[64m] E-W) with a ruined rampart 15'[4.5m] wide (ibid.). In a gently undulating field, under pasture, S of the ringwork in Lisronagh village and SE of Lisronagh tower house Lyon's site 12 is situated. It is incorrectly depicted on his map, in a correction he says it is closer to the main Fethard-Clonmel road, the W side of the site being under the road (Lyons 247). There is no clear trace of this monument. There is a trace of a low, broad bank running E-W from the main road which may be an old field boundary (Wth c. 4m; H 0.28m), which peters out. No trace of the 'old road' (TS077-010007-) depicted on Lyon's map. There is a natural dip in the field running in a roughly N-S direction. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS077-010003 Castle - ringwork
  Description

  On gradual SW slope, just off summit of ridge in undulating terrain, under pasture. Lisronagh tower house (TS077-010001-) is visible c. 200m to SW and medieval church (TS077-010002-) is c. 150m downslope to SW. Monument consists of a raised, grass-covered, roughly circular area (diam. 34.1m N-S; 41m E-W), defined by gently sloping scarp (H 1.64m) and wide, U-shaped fosse (Wth 4.4m; D 1.13m). In the SW quadrant there has been some disturbance, localised quarrying and the fosse is less evident. There are no stones visible in the scarp where it has been denuded. Appears to be remains of a causeway entrance in the W quadrant. According to Lyons (1937, 242-3) this monument was known locally as 'the rath of the (baron's) court' and was originally high and conical but 'was destroyed in the first half of the nineteenth century by the farmer who rented the field which it stands. A cist containing human remains was found in the work'. The OS Letters record that the monument was under tillage for some time 'It is situated on high ground in a pasture field, and has been cultivated in common with it since some period back. The traces of ridges are still visible on the surface. It is nearly levelled on southwest, south, southeast and northeast sides; the only part of the mound retaining any considerable portion of the original height being on the west and north sides' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 145).

• TS077-012 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a NE-facing slope in undulating pasture. River Moyle runs c. 40m NE of monument. Bivallate ringfort (diam. 27.4m N-S; 26.6m E-W) enclosed by a bank (Wth 1.5m crest; 3.5m base; int. H 0.27m; ext. H 1.1m); flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4.3m; D 0.84m) and outer bank (Wth 1.8m crest; 3.8m base; ext. H 0.87m). High stone content in banks, with stone protruding all along top of outer bank from NE-E-S. Inner bank is best preserved in N and E quadrants. Both banks are denuded in the S quadrant. The outer bank is levelled from S-SW-W. Gap through both banks in NNE, though inner gap (Wth 2.7m) appears to have been broken through. Outer gap is c. 3m wide. No evidence of corresponding causeway. Outer bank reduces in height SE-S and is disturbed in NW sector, though increases in height to N. Outer bank is more substantial than inner bank. Lot of scrub growing around inner bank and partially on outer bank, but interior is clean. Short length of outer face of inner bank in W sector is suffering from cattle erosion.

• TS077-013 Castle - ringwork
  Description

  On a broad flat ridge on ground sloping gently in every direction except to W, in pasture. Triangular-shaped enclosure (diam. 40m N-S; 42.2m E-W) surrounded by a stoney bank (Wth 1.2m crest, 3.7m base; int. H 0.39m; ext. H 2.3m), the outer face of which has been truncated and which falls steeply to the enclosing wide, deep fosse (Wth 6m; D 2.2m). The S quadrant is straight-sided, running E-W. The bank in the N quadrant forms a rounded point. There is some erosion of the outer face of the bank in the N and NE sector. The bank in the E quadrant has collapsed out for a length of 3m. A substantial field boundary runs concentrically with the enclosure on the W and S sides. There is no clearly defined entrance, however in the SE quadrant there is a low mound in the fosse which may have supported a bridge/drawbridge to the ringwork. This monument is depicted on Lyons (1937, 243, 248-9) map of Lisronagh, he mentions that the monument is called 'Lonergan's Fort' and was "probably originally sepulchral".

• TS077-033 Moated site
  Description

  On a gentle E-facing slope on the summit of a ridge in undulating terrain, the ground slopes to the NE beyond the moated site. The SE and NE quadrants are surrounded by tillage. The moated site consists of a roughly rectangular area (diam. 48m NW-SE; NE-SW not obtainable due to heavy growth) with rounded corners and is defined by a scarp (H 0.9m) and outer fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.2m). There is no build up of material at the corners. The monument is covered by lush grass with scrub in the E and S edge of the monument. The field boundary at the SW angle is very high with a berm feature on the NE side. The bank and berm are raised above the bank of the moated site and the field to SW. In the W quadrant there is dense scrub. In the N quadrant there is a flat-bottomed, wide fosse with a counterscarp bank which has been augmented by a later field bank. A field boundary runs around the moated site from N through W and S. Tillage on the field to NE and SE, field ploughed right up to edge of fosse making it difficult to discern the original limit of the fosse. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS077-093 Enclosure
  Description

  On a NE-facing slope, just below the crest in gently undulating pasture. Field boundary immediately W of enclosure kinks out to respect it.
