What is recorded here

Situated on a low rise of ground in undulating countryside. No visible remains of the tower described by Bence-Jones (1988, 293) as located to the rear of a two-storey three-bay eighteenth-century house. There are wall fragments protruding from the back wall of the house which are later than the house as they are keyed-in to the rubble infill of a blocked-up window of the house. 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
Castlesheppard House, also known as Creeragh, was likely built in the eighteenth century as a residence, situated on a low rise in the undulating countryside. Its historical significance is primarily local, associated with early descriptions by Bence-Jones, though specific builders or occupants remain unidentified.
