What is recorded here

Settlement deserted is a settlement deserted (medieval) in Erry, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies flat grassland at the base of a west-facing hillslope, with a north-south stream beside the earthworks and higher ground to the east. Low linear earthworks form several small rectangular enclosures or plots, mainly visible west of the church and graveyard, while cultivation ridges east of the church may belong to the same medieval settlement linked to the castle, bawn and watermill.

In flat grassland at base of a W-facing hillslope in undulating countryside with good views to N, S and W, higher ground to E, stream runs N-S along side of settlement earthworks. Church and graveyard (TS053-045----/TS053-045001-), castle and bawn (TS053-045002-/TS053-045003-) and watermill (TS053-045005-) associated with adjoining earthworks. Extensive remains of low linear earthworks which appear to form several small rectangular enclosures or plots best visible to the W of the church and graveyard. No clear evidence of a hollow way or any clear house sites. Extensive remains of cultivation ridges within small fields to E of church may be contemporary with medieval settlement. These earthworks probably represent the remains fo a settlement associated with church, castle and watermill. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
