- TN020-074001 Castle - tower house
Description
Situated on natural rock outcrop in an upland area with extensive views. Only the NW angle of a poorly preserved tower house survives with a quarry immediately to the N. The tower is located within a nineteenth-century grove of trees with a modern water tower to the E. The castle walls are constructed with roughly coursed limestone rubble with base-batter. The OS Letters describe a mullioned and transomed window at the E end of the N wall with a destroyed window directly underneath (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 3, 120), neither of which are visible. 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
- TN020-075 Castle - motte and bailey
Description
Situated on a natural hill in flat poorly drained pasture with extensive views. A natural hill which has been scarped to form a steep-sided flat-topped mound (top diam. 19.2m N-S; H 11m) with a berm (Wth 1m; ext. H 5m) around the hill halfway up the side of the mound which spreads out at S to form an elevated bailey. The base of the mound is enclosed by a wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4-6m; D 2-2.5m) and a wide flat-topped external bank (Wth 4m; ext. D 1m) of earth and stone construction which is greatly reduced from NW through N to NE. A stone-lined causewayed entrance (Wth 2m) at S possibly gave access to the elevated bailey on the S side of the motte. Field clearance material is dumped at the base of the mound on the N side. An impressively defended motte with elevated bailey and an unusual arrangement of defensive features. 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
- TN020-076 House - indeterminate date
Description
Situated on a N-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area. The poorly preserved remains of a rectangular house (approx. dims. 10m N-S; 13m E-W; wall T 1.75m), orientated on a NE-SW axis, surviving one storey high with a small tower at the NE angle. The walls are constructed with roughly coursed limestone rubble. There is no remaining evidence of the E half of the building. There is a destroyed window at the E end of the N and S walls. The angle tower has no entrance feature visible, it was possibly entered at the top of the tower from the main house. The voussoirs of a small arch are visible at base of the E wall of this tower. No entrance feature or cut stone visible. 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).

- TN020-079001 Enclosure
Description
Situated on a natural gravel ridge on flat poorly drained land with extensive views. There is a natural quarry at the end of the glacial ridge as indicated on the latest ed. OS 6-inch map. Recent excavations revealed several charcoal spreads with associated neolithic pottery and chert implements all along the length of the glacial ridge (TN020-079002). The enclosure site may have been associated with this occupation. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
- TN020-079002 Enclosure
Description
Situated on a natural glacial hillock (dims. 110m x 125m) in flat low-lying boggy terrain. A natural quarry at the end of a glacial ridge as indicated on the latest ed. OS 6-inch map. An enclosure was indicated on the 1st ed. Map at this spot. The surface of the mound was excavated after archaeological deposits were identified in the face of an existing quarry which originally had been the site of an enclosure (TN020-079001). Excavation revealed that the mound had been almost enclosed by a linear ditch-type feature (Wth 8m x D 1.86m) which contained a charcoal-rich, black, peaty clay, overlain with a series of lightly charcoal flecked, compact, stony, orange/grey clays. Polished stone axes, chert arrowheads, struck chert, stone beads and a pendant were recovered from the fill of this ditch. There was evidence for an internal palisade which cut through the undisturbed natural subsoil and the upper ditch fill. Although numerous post-holes and stake-holes were identified all along the surface of the mound, two main areas were identified. Along the south face of the mound there was a large pit (dims. 8m x 6m x 2m) which had been lined with wooden planks that were burnt in situ. A few pieces of Neolithic pottery, chert scrapers, chert arrowheads and bone were recovered from the fill of this pit. A large polished shale axe was recovered from behind one of the planks lining the pit. The excavator suggested that the axe had been deliberately placed behind the lining of the pit possibly for ritual purposes. The east face of the mound produced evidence for a large hollowed-out area (Wth 16m x L 12m) with numerous post-holes, pits and stake-holes visible. Concentrated charcoal-rich areas and burnt red clay were visible suggesting that the hollowed-out area had been fired. This area was filled in returning the natural slope to the east face of the mound. Neolithic pottery and struck chert were recovered from this fill. The excavator suggested that Tullahedy represents an extensive ritual area from the Neolithic period on a scale previously unknown in the Irish archaeological record (McConway 2000b, 203-4). 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).

- TN020-080001 House - 16th/17th century
Description
Depicted as 'Tullahedy Old Ho.' on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map, described in the OS field name books as a dwelling house almost in a state of ruins occupied by a herdsman (O'Donovan et. al. 1840). No visible remains of any pre-1700 house in this area. 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).

- TN020-132002 Burnt mound
Description
One of three burnt mounds identified during the monitoring of topsoil-stripping for the N7 Nenagh Bypass. A roughly circular mound (diam. C.22m x c.26m E-W; D 1.5m), known as Site B, of which approx. half was excavated and the remainder preserved. Excavation revealed evidence of multi-phase occupation. Hundreds of stake-holes in an arc may have enclosed the original habitation, which in turn was sealed by a marl and peat deposit. The remains of a structure were found at the south-west of the site, consisting of a series of large, sand-filled post-holes. There was similar evidence at the north-east area for post-holes, as well as pits. This was followed by three phases of activity. The primary phase had associated finds of wood, antler/horn, footpaths, cobbled surfaces, stone hearths, burnt spreads and a trough. The second phase, separated from the first by a sealing layer, may have been associated with an encircling ditch. The mound at this level had metal and burnt bone fragments, possible ore-stained burnt stones, a ring-headed pin, a rotary quern fragment, hone stones, rubbing stones and worked bone. A sandstone kerb/revetment was placed around the edge of the mound in the final phase. A deposit of iron fragments in the SE of the mound was associated with this phase.

- TN020-132003 Burnt mound
Description
One of three burnt mounds identified during the monitoring of topsoil-stripping for the N7 Nenagh Bypass. Located a few metres E of Site B, this mound, Site C (diam. 12m x 12.5m E-W; D c.0.3m) revealed multi-phase activity. Three-quarters of the site was excavated and the remainder preserved. The primary phase consisted of a number of clay-lined pits and associated stake-holes and bone and wood remains, all of which was sealed by a number of cobbled surfaces. On the highest part of the site there was a flour-post rectangular structure with two clay-lined troughs nearby. This phase was sealed by a low, charcoal-rich burnt stone mound. (O'Brien 2000, 290).
