According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) a part of the Parish of 'Musea' is in the 'Parish of Youghill' and in describing the boundary of the parish it mentions 'the old Gate called Shandoris bounded wth. The lands of the Parish of Musea in Lower Ormond on the East and South. And from the sd. Old gate by a heighway to a stony fort on the West' (Simington 1934, vol.2, 143). This gate appears to be of some significance in the seventeenth-century, it is unlocated within the townland of Tullamore.
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.
