What is recorded here

Field system in Tullamoylin (Ballynaclogh parish) is a field system in Tullamoylin (Ballynaclogh parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2002 Tipperary inventory recorded it in a low-lying position beside the River Dolla, where a Down Survey map also marks a castle and watermill. It lies near a possible tower house surrounded to the west and north by earthworks of a deserted settlement, including house platforms, a sunken way and field systems. The landowner told the survey that the earthworks extended into the field to the south but were levelled in recent years.

Located in a low-lying position adjacent to the River Dolla. A castle and watermill (TN027-163004-) are marked on the Down Survey map. A possible tower house (TN027-163002-) is surrounded to the W and N by earthworks indicative of a deserted settlement, including house platforms, a sunken way and field systems. According to the landowner the earthworks extended into the field to the S but have been levelled in recent years. In an early seventeenth-century Inquisition on the property of Gerald Grace the 'castle, towne and lands of Tollowmoyline' are listed (Gleeson and Leask 1938, 214). 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
