The Main Guard, Sarsfield Street, Clonmel,
Co. Tipperary South
James Butler, Duke of Ormond, built the Main Guard, that forms one end of the main street - Sarsfield Street in Clonmel town, in 1675 as the courthouse for the Palatinate of administrative area of County Tipperary.
In 1715, the Palatinate jurisdiction was extinguished. In about 1810, the ground floor, a loggia of open arches, was converted into shops, a basement excavated and additional floors inserted. It has been recently restored to its original form and the open arcade of sandstone columns is once again a feature of the streetscape.
During the restoration, some of its sandstone columns were found to have been 'reclaimed' from the now demolished abbey of Inislounaght at Marlfield.
