- TN010-006 Historic town
Description
Situated on flat pasture with good views in all directions. Gleeson refers to Borrisokane as having been an Anglo-Norman parish (1951-2, 104). Though there is no visible surviving medieval fabric in the town, reused fragments of an earlier medieval church were incorporated into the nineteenth-century Protestant church (TN010-006001) at the SE end of the town (pers. comm. Con Manning). In the seventeenth century a retired Cromwellian soldier, Captain James Stopford, was granted land in Borrisokane and under his influence other disbanded soldiers settled in the town (Levinstone Cooney 1975, 5). 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

The site is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302 (CDI, vol. 5, 302). The graveyard, which contains eighteenth/nineteenth-century headstones, is very circular in plan which may also be an indication of an early date.
