Wedge Tomb von Doorus Demesne

Das Wedge Tomb von Doorus Demesne (irisch Diméin Dhúrois) ist ein gut erhaltenes Wedge Tombs (dt. „Keilgräber“), früher auch „wedge-shaped gallery grave“ genannt. Es liegt westlich von Kinvarra, etwa einen Kilometer südlich der Galway Bay auf der Doorus-Halbinsel im County Galway in Irland. Wedge Tombs sind doppelwandige, ganglose, mehrheitlich ungegliederte Megalithanlagen der späten Jungstein- und der frühen Bronzezeit. Die Nordost-Südwest orientierte, dolmenartige Megalithanlage steht unter Denkmalschutz und befindet sich auf einer niedrigen Plattform. Die 2,5 m lange, sich in der Breite von 1,5 m auf 1,1 m verjüngende, trapezoide Kammer wird von einem 2,4 m langen, 2,1 m breiten und 0,30 m dicken, überkragenden Deckstein bedeckt. Auf dem Deckstein liegt Steinmaterial (fast einen Meter mächtig), das vom äußeren Mantel oder vom Cairn des Wedge Tombs stammt. Der Deckstein wird von zwei 2,5 m langen Seitensteinen (einer pro Seite) unterstützt, ein ähnlich großer Endstein schließt die Kammer im Nordwesten ab. Es gibt Hinweise auf eine Nebenkammer an der Nordwestseite. Siehe auch Megalithanlagen in Irland Liste von Wedge Tombs in Irland Einzelnachweise Literatur George Cunningham: Burren Journey North.

Burncourt Castle

Burncourt Castle is a fortified house and a National Monument in County Tipperary, Ireland. Location Burncourt Castle is located 5.4 km (3.4 mi) northwest of Ballyporeen, on the west bank of the River Tar. History The castle was originally known as Everard's Castle, and was built by Richard Everard, 1st Baronet (d. 1650), son of politician and judge Sir John Everard. When Richard married Catherine Plunkett in 1620, his father awarded him a large estate around the River Tar. Around 1639 Sir Richard some of his land and began to build a fortified house. It was complete in 1641, and had 26 gables and seven chimneys. Archeological investigation found a cow skeleton in a pit that extended under the east wall of the castle. The cow appeared to have been killed and dismembered and left as a protective votive offering – the flanks were placed next to each other and the head placed on the upper backbone. The Everards took up residence just as the Irish Rebellion of 1641 began. In 1642 Sir Richard joined the Catholic Confederates at Kilkenny and became a member of the Supreme Council. Sir Richard's wife Catherine remained at the castle. In 1649, as Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads advanced on Everard's Castle, Lady Catherine burned it down, earning it the name of the Burned Court. Sir Richard Everard went on fight at the Siege of Limerick (1650–51), but was captured and hung in 1651 by Henry Ireton. Burncourt was abandoned. According to tradition Burncourt was seven years in building, seven years lived in and seven days burning. In the early 18th century, the painter Anthony Chearnley built a house adjoining the Burncourt ruin. The excavation also showed that there was no remaining debris from the castle burning, meaning that the roof slates and lead flashings were salvaged/looted for use elsewhere. Building The castle has a rectangular centre block and large square towers at each corner. There is a long line of corbels over the entrance on the south side and floral motifs on the hood over the doorway. Burncourt Castle is a large gabled fortified house, with a central block four bays long and four storeys high including basement and attic. It has four large square flanking towers, each five storeys. Along the front are corbels for a machicolation which runs the full length of the centre block. There is a fine central doorway with a hood mould and decorated label stops. The castle has mullioned and transomed windows with good square hood moulds. There are fireplaces in the east wall, the north wall and within the flanking towers. Parts of the bawn, with a corner turret, can still be seen nearby. The cellar floor was cobbled with cobblestones of irregular sizes, and covered 71.6 m2 (771 sq ft) with a ceiling 2.37 m (7 ft 9 in) high. References
Liathmore Churches

Liathmore Churches are two medieval churches forming a National Monument in County Tipperary, Ireland. Location The Liathmore site, also known as 'Liathmore-Mochoemóg', is located in the townland of Leigh (Liath) approximately 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) east of the village of Two-Mile Borris. History St Mochoemog (d. 655) founded the monastery here. There are two churches and the footings of a round tower. The smaller church is the earlier and dates to the early medieval period; the larger church is late medieval and was begun in the 12th century, and contains a number of tombs. Building A sheela-na-gig carving, known as the Liathmore Sheela-na-gig, is located on the left hand side of a Romanesque doorway belonging to the larger of the two churches. The larger church: nave is 41'4" x 18'8" (12.6 x 5.7 m), and the chancel 26'9" x 16'2" (8.2 x 4.9 m). It was originally a single-chamber church with antae at the east end. The circular foundation proved to be the base of an Irish round tower. As there is no historical record or oral tradition of a tower here it is thought that it must have fallen, and its stones removed, sometime before 1500. The diameter was 15 ft. 6in. (4.7 m).

Terryglass Castle

Terryglass Castle (auch Old Court genannt, irisch Caisleán Thír Dhá Ghlas oder An tSean-Chúirt) ist ein festes Haus an der nordöstlichen Ecke des Lough Derg im irischen County Tipperary, das als National Monument gilt. Geschichte Ein frühes, christliches Kloster gründete an dieser Stelle im 6. Jahrhundert Columban von Iona, der um das Jahr 552 verstarb. Terryglass Castle ließ in den Jahren 1219–1232 John Marshall erbauen. Im Jahre 1232 hatte er laut den königlichen Aufzeichnungen bedeutende Schulden beim englischen König Heinrich III. Diesem galten die Burg und das umgebende Land als Sicherheit für die Rückzahlung der Schulden. Die Burg sollte häufig den Besitzer wechseln. In den Jahren 1275–1276 gehörte sie Nicholas Dunheaued, 1299 Theobald le Botiller, 2. Chief Butler of Ireland und 1290 William Marshall. Richard Og de Burgh, 2. Earl of Ulster, war 1323 der Eigentümer und James Butler 1589. Terryglass Castle hat laut Steuerquellen in den Jahren 1302–1307 zum Steueraufkommen der Diözese beigetragen und im Bericht über den königlichen Besuch im Jahre 1615 ist erwähnt, dass es einen geschlossenen Altarraum hatte. Bei der Katastervermessung 1654–1656 ist allerdings nur ein Kirchfriedhof erwähnt. Beschreibung Terryglass Castle ist ein Donjon mit vier Türmchen. Einzelnachweise
