Prison in Nenagh North

According to Analecta Hibernica 'In 1696 a Session House and Gaol were built on a piece of ground 40 feet by 20 feet situate in Nengh, and granted to James Harrison of Cloughjordan by Robert Boardman of Nenagh' (No.12, 1943, 131-54). These buildings have been located to Nos.10 and 11 Pearse St., though the locations are now occupied by later buildings. 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
