What is recorded here
Killawardy is an unlocated castle in County Tipperary recorded in the 1654-56 Civil Survey as the castle of Killevardy in the Barony of Ikerrin. It may also be the stone house named in the same survey. The building has no visible marker, yet it resisted forgetting long enough to enter a national inventory.
Unlocated castle within the townland of Killawardy. According to the 1654-56 Civil Survey of Tipperary there was located in the Barony of Ikerrin, 'the castle of Killevardy' (Simington 1931, Vol. 1, 4). This castle may be the same building as the 'stone house' (TN029-090002-) in Killawardy mentioned in the 1654-56 Civil Survey (Simington 1931, 6).
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.
