• TS087-020 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle NW-facing slope in undulating pastureland. Depicted as an oval enclosure (dims. c. 32m N-S; c. 37m E-W) on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. By the 2nd (1907) ed. only the S side is depicted, the N half appears to have been levelled. Only the S half of the monument is visible (diam. 25.6m E-W; 14.4m N-S), defined by a broad, flattened bank (W 7.2m; int. H 0.53m; ext. H 0.42m). A very slight external dip possibly indicates an external fosse. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 November 2013

• TS087-022001 Castle - hall-house
  Description

  On a natural rise overlooking the River Duag to S, in a valley at the foot of the Knockmealdowns. Shanrahan Church (TS087-022002-) is visible c. 50m to the N. The Civil Survey (1654-56) refers to 'Sir Richard Everard. Irish Papist' as the proprietor of 'Shanrehyn' in 1640, and mentions that 'All the s[ai]d lands are at present out of lyne whereon stands a wast house singled with a chemney, and the walls of an old ruinous Castle' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 375). Composed of sandstone rubble with some limestone, roughly coursed, with an external base-batter (H 1.4m; W 0.42m). Portion of the E wall survives (L 2.4m; T 1.4m) and the SE corner which forms a semi-circular turret (L 3.5m; W 1.5m) on the exterior and is squared in interior as at Ballyboy (TS087-024----). The E wall is badly cracked near the corner turret. There are no features in external face of this corner 'turret' and the interior is completely obscured by ivy. The NE corner, also forming a semi-circular turret externally, has collapsed and is lying on its side. The external estimated length of the E side is 14m.

• TS087-022002 Church
  Description

  On a low hillock in generally flat terrain on the River Tar valley floor, at the foot of the Knockmealdown mountains. A possible hall-house (TS087-022001-) is situated c. 50m to the S. The nave (dims. 8m N-S; 12m E-W) and chancel (dims. 5.85m N-S; 6.1m E-W) church, with bell-tower (L 3.4m x W 4.15m) projecting from the W wall of the nave, is constructed on sandstone rubble, roughly coursed, with both the interior and exterior rendered. The nave has a base-batter (H 0.9m; W 0.13m), but the N wall has largely collapsed. There are two possible window openings in the S wall (H 3m; T 0.65-7m) but the surrounds have been broken out. A very high chancel arch (H 3.25m) consists of roughly cut, thin, sandstone voussoirs. The chancel is narrower than the nave and has no base-batter. The E window is set in a large, round-headed, straight-sided embrasure, and the window head has a brick surround. There are a number of graves in the church interior, which is quite overgrown. The bell-tower is accessed from the exterior through a blocked-up doorway in the N wall and from the church via a blocked-up doorway in the W wall of the nave. It originally stood three storeys high but a fourth storey was added in the 18th or early 19th century. It has a large pointed opening in the W wall at first-floor level. At second-floor level there were round-headed openings on the N, E and W faces, all of which have been blocked up, but any features on the S face are not visible as the wall was slate-hung. There are two sheela-na-gigs incorporated into the church, one (TS087-022003-) in the W face of the bell-tower and the other (TS087-022004-) in the E gable of the church. The church appears to be 17th or 18th-century in date. According to Butler (2006, 189-90, 217) the medieval church was replaced or hugely remodelled to faciliate Protestant worship in c. 1720 and the tower was added in 1793-4.

• TS087-022003 Sheela-na-gig
  Description

  On the W face of Shanrahan church tower (TS087-022002-), immediately below the blocked opening at second-floor level. The wall has been rendered up to the edge of the figure. This squat, crude figure is carved in high relief. It has large projecting ears, a depression for one eye, the outer is an incised almond-shape. The nose is not clear and there is a depression representing the mouth. It has a long, thick neck and very squat body. The arms are in typical sheela-na-gig pose, bent at the elbow with hands in the vulva region, the hands and vulva are not well defined. The short squat legs are slightly splayed. The figure is c. 7m above ground level. There is another sheela-na-gig (TS087-022004-) on the E gable of the church. As the tower appears to date from the 18th century, the sheela-na-gig, which is probably of 15th century date, is not in its original position. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 November 2013

• TS087-022004 Sheela-na-gig
  Description

  On the external face of the E gable of Shanrahan church (TS087-022002-), 0.3m above ext. ground level and 0.3m from SE angle. The gable has a rough pebble-dash render which covers the SE portion of the sheela-na-gig and may have completely obscured it in the past. The sheela-na-gig, identified by O'Riordan (1999, 197-8), is carved in relief on a triangular red sandstone stone (dims. 0.47m side x 0.58m base x H 0.5m).The figure has pronounced jug-ears, a slight tilt of the head with legs splayed and arms pulling the vulva. The facial features are quite worn. There is another sheela-na-gig (TS087-022003-) on the W face of the tower of the church. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS087-022005 Graveyard
  Description

  On a low hillock in generally flat terrain on a valley floor, at the foot of the Knockmealdown mountains. Within this irregularly shaped graveyard (max. dims. 109m N-S; 79m E-W) there is a possible hall-house (TS087-022001-), a church (TS087-022002-) and the latter has two sheela-na-gigs (TS087-022003-; TS087-022004-) incorporated in the fabric. The earliest headstone noted, dating to 1736, is E of the church. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 November 2013

• TS090-005 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  On the summit of Knockshanahullion Mountain in the Knockmealdown mountain range. A cairn (TS090-001----) on the summit of Sugarloaf Hill is visible to the E. A large cairn (dims. 32m N-S; 27m E-W; H above ext. 3.35m) composed of red sandstone rubble with very little vegetal cover apart from some moss. The centre of the cairn has been robbed out (D 2.5m) and in recent times a stone shelter has been built of dry-stone walling in the central hollow and three small cairns have been erected on the N edge of the cairn itself.
