Church (in ruins)

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Church (in ruins) is a graveyard in Borris (twomileborris Par.), County Tipperary, Ireland. A church is mentioned in the ecclesiastical taxation of 1302-7 at the 'burgage of Milath', which possibly refers to that at Two Mile Borris. Only short wall sections survive in the graveyard, including one orientated east-west with its north side much denuded and another orientated north-south that may be the remains of the east wall. Within the graveyard there is a late thirteenth or early fourteenth-century graveslab, and a new graveyard has been added on the north side of the existing one.
Situated on a slight rise of ground to the SE of a nearby tower house (TN042-052001). A church is mentioned in the ecclesiastical taxation of 1302-7 at the 'burgage of Milath' (CDI, vol. 5, 281) which possibly refers to that at Two Mile Borris. Only a short section of wall orientated E-W survives in the graveyard (TN042-052006). It is much denuded on its N side with rubble and lime mortar exposed. There is a possible wall face on the S side but it is heavily ivy clad. Another short section of wall orientated N-S may be the remains of the E wall of the church (TN042-052002) - it now forms the base for a twentieth-century headstone. Within the graveyard there is a late thirteenth/early fourteenth-century graveslab (TN042-052004). A new graveyard has been added on the N side of the existing one. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
